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 via this link--The application is online--what are you waiting for--click on the link and you're on your way to adopting one of our unique and lovely West Texas Lurchers!
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.
