Our Mission — APFUG

We are dedicated to a graceful and noble breed that deserves love and security. Our goal is to help every greyhound find a forever home and a caring family.


  • A — An elegant breed in need of help and support
  • P — People who care and take action for greyhounds
  • F — A future full of promise and safety
  • U — Unconditional love and hope
  • G — A truly greyt outcome for every dog

Our Focus Has Evolved

The world of retired racing Greyhounds has changed. With fewer racetracks and the local supplier closing in 2021, our mission has shifted.

Why the Change?

  • Retired racing Greyhounds are now scarce in the U.S.
  • We have redirected our energy toward a special regional breed — the West Texas Lurchers.

Meet the West Texas Lurchers

This unique group of dogs comes from West Texas and has a fascinating background:


  • Bred locally to hunt small game
  • DNA tests show they are a mix of greyhounds and other sighthound breeds
  • Known for their distinct looks and loving nature

Adopt a West Texas Lurcher

Join us in giving these remarkable dogs a second chance at a happy life.


  • Get a beautiful, one-of-a-kind new family member
  • Experience the loyalty and charm of West Texas Lurchers
  • Help us create more GREYT outcomes!
