How to Adopt Your New Greyhound
Adopting a Greyhound is simple and rewarding. We guide you every step of the way to ensure the perfect match for your family and lifestyle. Here’s how the process works:
1. Learn About Greyhounds
Start by researching to see if a Greyhound or Lurcher is the right fit for you. Visit our FAQ page and explore trusted online resources to understand their needs and personalities.
2. Submit Your Application
Complete the Adoption Application by clicking on this link which will send you to a Google App. You can expect to hear back from our director within 1–2 days.
3. Home Visit and Approval
To finalize your application, we’ll arrange a home visit or virtual tour. Once approved, we’ll begin finding a Greyhound that suits your family’s lifestyle perfectly.
Adoption Process
- We welcome all adoption applications and carefully consider each one. I personally contact every person or family who applies to ensure the best match.
- It's perfectly okay to send an inquiry via the "Drop Us a Line" link if you aren't sure you want to adopt from APFUG--we want to answer any questions you may have.
- Be sure to always check your email spam section if you've not heard back from us.
- Please be considerate and notify the director if you have decided not to pursue the application (it's no fun getting ghosted!)
- For applicants living outside the area, we offer virtual home visits, which have proven effective and convenient.
- Once approved, adopters are typically asked to travel to Lubbock to meet and pick up their new companion.

Sidney from Tyler has adopted from us before and welcomed Buck into her family once again. She renamed him High Cotton in honor of his brother, hoping he’ll find his forever home soon too!
Pam & Bromley
Pam had two simple requests: a black greyhound and a love for long walks. Bromley was the perfect match! If you’re in ABQ and see them strolling together, don’t hesitate to say hello.

It was meant to be. And this family drove all the way from Colorado to adopt their first Lurcher. We were so thrilled and happy! Suzy will be their one and only--she was happy about that!
