Greyhound

Racing Into the Homes and Hearts of Families

As an acclaimed racing dog, the greyhound is admittedly a very fast runner. But when you realize that the only other animal known to outpace the greyhound is a cheetah, you get a good idea of just how fast this dog really is.

While a greyhound can keep the pace alongside your car while you drive 40 plus miles per hour, this endearingly loveable breed would rather be curled up next to you on the couch. Thanks to the efforts of adoption programs, retired racing greyhounds are getting a second chance at life in the comfort of homes around the world.

As with any pet, be sure to regularly consult a veterinarian for routine care and medical advice for your four-legged friend.
