Greyhounds Only, Inc.'s Mission:
Match retired racing greyhounds with adoptive families in Illinois. However, there are always exceptions!

Some facts about retired greyhounds:

1) Retired racing greyhounds are gentle, sweet, good-natured dogs who can live in nearly every environment - from a city apartment to a sprawling country estate. Our adoption representatives help adopters find the hound that is right for them.

2) Greyhounds retire from their racing careers generally when they are anywhere between 2-5 years of age. Considering

the average lifespan of a greyhound is 10-14 years, these pups still a lot of living left to do!

3) Considered to be 40-mph couch potatoes, most greyhounds are your stereotypical lazy dogs. Even an active greyhound typically has a lower energy level than many other breeds.

🐾 The 2025 Greyhounds Only Reunion is just around the corner—and we still need a few helping hands!

Whether you can spare an hour or the whole day, volunteers make this event happen.

✅ Bring your hound along—they can chill at the hound sitting area or keep you company at your post.

✅ Help at the Gently Used table, sell 50/50 raffle tickets, work the GO booth, or give a hand at the ticket table - just to name a few of the things you could do to help!
