Every greyhound has a story waiting to be written, and right now, eleven beautiful hounds are holding their breath, hoping for a family to call their own. At Greyt Angels, we're facing a critical moment that could change everything for these gentle, loving dogs.
Our mission is about more than just finding homes – it's about healing hearts, both canine and human. These retired racing greyhounds have spent their lives running circles on tracks, and now they're longing for something much simpler: a soft couch, a gentle touch, and a family to love.
But our mission is at a standstill.
Our foster network is stretched to its limits. Without new adoptive homes, we cannot continue our life-changing work of transitioning more greyhounds into homes. Each day that passes is a day these incredible dogs remain in limbo, unable to experience the warmth of true family.
The Current Reality

Adoptions in 2024
Our mission has always been deeply personal. In a national landscape where animal adoptions have dramatically slowed, Greyt Angels stands as a beacon of hope for retired racing greyhounds seeking their forever homes.
The current adoption climate is challenging. Across the United States, shelters and rescue organizations are experiencing unprecedented strain. Nationwide adoption rates have declined significantly, creating a critical bottleneck for organizations like ours that desperately want to help these majestic creatures transition from racing careers to beloved family companions.
Right now, eleven extraordinary souls are waiting for adoption. Eleven hearts hoping for a family, for connection, for the simple dignity of a soft bed and a gentle touch. These are not just dogs - they're poets of patience, masters of quiet affection and gentle spirits who have given everything to their racing careers and now seek nothing more than love. Contrary to popular belief, these athletes are surprisingly low-maintenance. They're gentle souls who transition from racing to couch-loving companions with remarkable ease. Their calm demeanor makes them ideal for families of all compositions - seniors, singles, families with children.
Our foster network is stretched beyond capacity. Each day that passes without a forever home means another day these incredible hounds remain in limbo, unable to experience the warmth of true companionship. We're not just seeking adopters - we're seeking compassionate hearts willing to transform a life.
Foster families are the heartbeat of our organization. Fostering with Greyt Angels means more than just providing temporary shelter. It's about building a bridge between their racing past and a future filled with love. We provide comprehensive support - everything from training resources and complete supply packages to 24/7 guidance. Our foster opportunities are focused within a three-hour radius of Goshen, Indiana, ensuring we can maintain robust support for every single hound.
Your decision to adopt or foster isn't just about bringing home a dog. It's about writing a new chapter of hope. It's about providing a peaceful retirement to a dedicated athlete. It's about creating space for another hound in need.
With hope and gratitude,
The Greyt Angels Team
