We are a non-profit organization and survive on adoption fees and donations. We have an adoption fee of $160 w/application plus $ 100.00 at time of delivery. This includes spaying or neutering, teeth cleaning, all shots, heartworm testing, micro chip, blood work, and transportation. You will also be given an adoption kit containing a care booklet, food and a special collar and leash designed for a greyhound. You will need to purchase a soft dog bed, bowls and a coat for your greyhound. You may acquire these items from any pet store or from NGAP (all proceeds from NGAP sales go directly to greyhound rescue.) Items purchased from NGAP are cheaper and are of better quality than those found in pet stores.
You will need to fill out an application. As part of the application approval process, a home visit will be scheduled in order to assess any areas of your home that may present possible dangers to the greyhound. After your application has been approved, you will be notified of the approximate date your dog will arrive. We will try to notify you a week in advance, but sometimes due to the volunteers available to transport dogs, we may only be able to give you a few days notice. The time period is usually two to three weeks once your application has been approved. The time varies according to weather and if you require a cat safe greyhound. Transporting your dog may be delayed due to weather . Extreme heat prevents safe transit.
Once the dog is in your home, you can rely on support forever, if you need it. We are available to respond to adopters needs almost 24 hours a day. Everyday.
Hopefully you will elect to become a FLAAG volunteer and help us with our meet and greets and fund raising events!!!!
Sending the adoption fee along with your application is an indication to us of your commitment to adopt a greyhound. The adoption fee can be paid one of two ways: you may send a check or credit card information for the full amount of $260.00, or you may send a check or credit card deposit for $160.00, with the remaining $100.00 balance to be paid at the time you pick-up your new pet.
The $260.00 Adoption Fee covers the following:
We cannot start the adoption process until our adoption fee is received. Any application received without the fee will be placed on hold until the adoption fee is paid. If for any reason your application is rejected, or we cannot supply you with a greyhound, your monies will be returned.

Gentle Greyhound.
Come gentle Greyhound; rest your head in my hands,
And let me rescue you from this place if I can.
This place of sorrow, abuse and neglect,
And I will give you a better life where you can forget.
I look into your eyes and see sorrow and pain,
Which was caused by man for his pleasure and gain.
I feel your body tremble, and hear your sad cry,
Your eyes look deep into mine, as I nearly pass you by.
You look at me and you shake with fright,
As tonight is to be your very last night.
They no longer want you, as you lost your last race,
Your kennel is wanted for another to take your place.
You lean into my arms, and fawn at my touch,
And my eyes water, I already want you so much.
Your eyes light up as I look down at your gentle face,
And you follow me willingly away from that place.
You smile at me, as only a Greyhound can,
As you lay contentedly in the back of my van.
Gentle Greyhound good times are ahead,
With warmth and love, and a nice soft bed.
My love for you will never wane,
And you will never know sorrow again.
By Sue Stoddart. A lady who cares.
