Greyhound Adoption of Ohio

10/17/2024

The weather forecast for the weekend is fabulous so we would love to get the 15 greyhounds that are currently living at the GAO Kennel out for a nice walk. If you're available and could use some greyhound love, please consider signing up to walk a dog this Sunday, October 20th around 1pm. Follow the link to ensure there will be a greyhound waiting for you.

If you have applied to adopt but it has been quite a while because we had few hounds, would you send an email to [email protected] to let us know you’re still interested?

We’ve contacted several people who have told us they chose to adopt elsewhere instead of waiting. We understand. However we have several hounds now and would love to find homes for them so please circle back with us.

Beautiful brood mama Wobbles (Wobble Baby) would love to meet you.

Say hello to Patch. He’s a four-year-old hound from Ireland looking for his forever home. As you can see, he’s one smart and playful boy.

Blossom Time Festival starts tomorrow!

Memorial Day Weekend is quickly approaching and that means it's 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 in our hometown of Chagrin Falls! This will be our 30th year participating in this event! We will have our usual booth at the 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 this Thursday through Sunday and we will also be walking in the 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 on Sunday. Prior to the parade we invite you to enjoy a cookout with your fellow GAO friends. All these events include greyhounds so we encourage you to bring your greyhound along as an ambassador to the breed. The adoptable greyhounds at GAO would also love a chance to shine this weekend so arrangements can be made for experienced families and volunteers to bring an adoptable during a booth shift or to the parade. It really is a fun weekend and we hope you can join us.

Below you will find the various volunteer sign-up forms for this weekend. We can also use turnout help at the kennel throughout the busy weekend, so if you're trained as a turnout volunteer, we'd greatly appreciate the help.

Ever wonder why so many greyhounds are blood donors? The greyhound is known as a Universal Donor! Over 85% of the greyhounds have a blood type that allows their blood to be used in all other dogs. Add that to the fact that a greyhound's blood is unusually rich in red blood cells and they have a generally calm demeanor, making them excellent donors!

For more information on blood donation visit https://greyhoundhealthinitiative.org/blood-bank/ or check out their page at Blood Bank - Greyhound Health Initiative
