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.

Recent Adoptions!
Max with Ron and Cindy
We were all counting the days until Ron and Cindy returned from their vacation. Shortly after they returned, they visited all the dogs at the rescue kennel and decided to adopt Max. He's adjusting well and they live in nearby Plainview. We are so happy to share this news!
Dr. Kendra Sutherlin and Nutmeg adopt Basil
Dr. Sutherlin practices at Live Oak Animal Hospital located in Lubbock. She had extensive experience with Greyhounds and Lurchers while living in the UK. We were so happy that she adopted Basil--who's 7-years young and was relinquished to our group in July. He gets along swell with her little terrier mix and is taking his job as greeter at the clinic very seriously!
Sterling gets a new home and new name!
This sweet Lurcher was relinquished earlier this year. We worked very hard to get her in a medically stable state. Angie and her daughter, Harper, decided that Maple Chopsticks is her new name and Georgetown is her new address where she will also live with their dog Margot, Husband-Jacob, and daughter-Ava.
Katy Grace and Cotton
Katy Grace's family are big fans of Greyhounds and she wanted to continue the family tradition by adopting her very own Lurcher. Cotton is having lots of adventures living in a city now and having lots of fun. He is especially fond of his NEW COUCH!!
