Brrr, it’s cold outside! Remember when the outdoors looked green and sunny? Adoptable hound Ray sure does! It’s just a little bit snowier in Indiana now, so Ray is spending his time cozied up in front of the fireplace in a nice comfy bed at his foster home. This sweet galgo has been waiting for the right person to notice him. He would love a home to call his own before the holidays - he thinks he would look very handsome in a festive Christmas collar! Ray is about six years old, and a sweet, happy boy who enjoys affection from his foster family and playing with other dogs in the home. In his foster home, he has lived with up to seven other large dogs at a time!

Ray is an excellent leash walker and does well on car rides. He has settled in well at his foster home, and has become more confident and trusting, even around men or new people. Ray has truly embraced the sweet life since arriving in the US, allowing his true nature to surface: a gentle, laid-back, happy boy who enjoys treats and ear scritches. Foster Mom Erin says he is a truly great dog who is easy to love and care for.

Ray would do well with most families, though he does need to go to a home without cats. Just look at his adorable face - who can resist that smile?!

Can you believe our social media manager neglected to include any photos of me in yesterday’s post about available greyhounds? So I will introduce myself! My name is Robin, and I am a very good boy who is looking for my forever home! In the meantime, I’ve been staying busy with my Foster Family, including volunteering my services at Purdue University during finals week! Exams are stressful (or so I’ve heard) and petting a sweet, calm dog like me helps students to relax in between studying and taking their tests. I’d make a great therapy dog, just like my available friend Monbeg. Or perhaps a good mascot, if Purdue wants to reconsider theirs…

I am very friendly and love to meet new people! And a fun fact about me: my birthday countdown has started and I will turn four on New Year’s Day! So if you stay up til midnight to celebrate, you can wish me a happy birthday right at 12:00! If you are looking for a gentle and happy boy, submit your application for me today. I can’t wait to meet you! Love, Robin

Looking for the perfect retired racing greyhound to add to your family? We've got the dog for you! We have SEVEN gorgeous ex-racers who are looking for their forever homes. If you haven't heard, these dogs came to us from the UK, where retirement kennels have a waiting list for dogs who've reached the end of their careers. To help clear space for waiting hounds, these kennels partner with organizations in the US like ours. The UK dogs have similar temperaments and training to the hounds you remember from US racing - and as we all know, greyhounds make "greyt" pets!

💚 Jake, 3, no cats - a happy-go-lucky boy who enjoys binge watching tv, eating peanut butter, and playing fetch.
🩷 Spinner, 3, no cats - a laid-back, affectionate hound who absolutely adores cuddling, plays catch, and loves kids of all ages.
🧡 Robin, 3, no cats - a friendly, gentle, and loving dog who is celebrating his birthday on New Year's Day!
💛 King, 6, likely no cats - a big, playful boy who loves older kids and romping with other dogs in the backyard.
💙 Elf, 5, no cats - an intelligent, curious dog who enjoys exploring, going for walks, and keeping his humans on their toes.
💜 Monbeg, 4, possibly cat-tolerant - a gentle, affectionate hound who is great with kids and would be an excellent therapy dog.
❤️ Lummox, 5, no cats - a friendly, sweet boy who loves being around people and is the star of the show in public.

Submit your application for one of these wonderful dogs today! (Or visit our website to view our available galgos and lurchers!)

Black Friday is the best day to apply to adopt one of our gorgeous black hounds! Did you know black dogs often spend longer in shelters compared to other dogs? We can’t imagine why, because these hounds are some of the very sweetest dogs!

Black dogs are often our longest-available fosters through no fault of their own.

Galgos Andy and Hermes and greyhounds Lummox, King, and Jake have all been waiting for the right person to notice them for a while. (Andy is even cat-tolerant!)

Greyhounds Spinner, Elf, Seb, and Robin arrived last month, and they would love to find a home for the holidays, too!

If you or someone you know is considering adopting a dog, please consider one of these wonderful black hounds!

Foster pup Javier hopes everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving, including a nice long post-dinner nap.

American Greyhound is SO thankful for everyone who has played a role in helping the hounds this year, whether you have adopted, fostered, donated, transported, volunteered, shared posts, or contributed in some other way. 💕 Thank you for all you do!

(Gorgeous Javier is adoption-pending - but there are many other great dogs available on our website!)

Getting ready to start your holiday shopping this weekend? Tickets for the 2026 Winning Hearts Benefit Gala make a great gift for your favorite friends and family (and as a treat for yourself, too)! Winning Hearts is our biggest fundraiser of the year, with all proceeds going to continue to the work we do to help sighthounds in need with essentials like vet care, transportation, and more. Whether they are greyhounds whose racing careers have ended, galgos rescued from the streets of Spain, or any other hound in need of a safe and loving forever home, your support on May 2 will allow us to continue giving these wonderful dogs a second chance.

Winning Hearts this year will be held at Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, IN, where you can help the hounds while having a great night out at the same time! Enjoy dinner and an open bar, along with exciting silent and live auctions featuring items that will appeal to everyone! Blue Chip has on-site hotel rooms available, in addition to their spa, casino, and other amenities - so you can make a fun weekend out of it if you choose!

Tickets are on sale now, and available at early bird pricing through December 31. Adults are just $80 (and kids 13 and under are $40) for the remainder of 2025, so make sure to get your tickets soon and mark your calendars for a wonderful evening in support of the hounds!
