Prison Greyhounds is an Indiana adoption group for greyhounds, and greyhound mixes. This includes 3 different types of ‘greyhounds’: NGA (National Greyhound Association) purebred retired racers, the field trial racing greyhounds (often called lurchers), and Hero Hounds (retired blood donors). Special focus is given to those with special needs. We always encourage the adoption of greyhounds that get overlooked, perhaps because of age, medical history, past injury, a personality quirk. This also includes the forgotten field trial racing greyhounds with mixed breed heritage. These hounds are forgotten, NOT by the people that race them, but they are often overlooked by potential adopters. We found a huge need in our immediate area to find good homes for these retired racers. Adopters tend to overlook them, often because they never heard of them! Field trial greyhound lurchers are now the dog that waits the longest in a kennel before someone says “We want that dog!” We take these hounds and find them loving, responsible homes simply by telling their story. And we have greyt success because our adopters have over-sized hearts, just like their dogs! Prison Greyhounds is an all-volunteer 501c3 nonprofit organization. We are not affiliated with any other adoption group. We are independent. But we partner with American Lurcher Project, Wheeling Island Greyhound Adoptions, and The Veterinarians’ Blood Bank to assist them with hounds that are retired and need good homes. From older pups up to senior greyhounds. Prison Greyhounds believes that greyhounds benefit from their life as a racer. We support responsible racing. We service Indiana, western Ohio, northern Kentucky, eastern Illinois, and Nashville, TN area. If you have successfully adopted from us previously, you can also apply.
