GREYHOUNDS: Honoring the Breed from Birth through Adoption - Greyhound Hall of Fame and Museum, Abilene, Kansas.

We honor and celebrate the lives and history of the breed we love. We fight to preserve them and their ancestry. If you want to know the truth about greyhounds, you go to the people who are hands-on with them from birth through adoption, not animal rights organizations who are NOT, and do not own nor operate a single greyhound placement facility.

GREYHOUNDS 101 - THE FACTS:
1. Members of the hound group, greyhounds are in a subset known as sighthounds, which are nature's great hunters of prey by using their keen eyesight.
2. The greyhound anatomy is also aerodynamically built by nature to give quick, enormous bursts of high speed to hunt its prey, which in nature, consists of such vegetable crop destroying wild rodents all the way up to larger predator animals such as coyotes.
3. Their hearts are bigger, their lung capacities larger, and their blood values different than most any other canine breed, making greyhounds sometimes referred to as "the non dog of the dog world."
4. A youthful, active greyhound, by nature's necessity, expends an amazing amount of pent up energy, and then rest and relaxation is necessary. They prefer to bed down in the same small denning manner as is seen in many other canines.
5. Racing bred Greyhounds are rarely, if ever, away from other greyhounds for their entire lives until adoption, so they enjoy and thrive in their pack environments, similar to their ancient wolf relatives in the wild.
6. On the farm and as professional athletes, many of these same natural instincts for high speed chase, pack social roles and manners, and restful denning needs are met with close attention paid to safely mimicking those types of environments .
7. When racing as professional athletes, the sport is highly regulated by the state and onsite Veterinary care is always present, as is a race course that is level and maintained to be free from debris, holes, rocks, and other dangerous objects encountered in the wilderness, and where their natural desire to chase and hunt at high speeds is satisfied by pursuing a fake or stuffed lure.
8. Upon retiring from racing, the North American Greyhound athletes enjoy such a high popularity as pets that there are waiting lists for them among 150+ greyhound specific adoption organizations located throughout the United States and Canada.
