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.

Nutmeg gets adopted!

Judy, and her husband-Denny have had Greyhounds for over 20 years. They adopted their sweet fawn named Tammy from us in 2019. After the loss of their Greyhound named Daisy--they asked about adding another female as a companion for Tammy. Nutmeg is their first Lurcher. We were thrilled that they were able to give her a loving home!

Interested in Adoption?

We welcome all adoption applications and give first preference to individuals or families in or near Lubbock. However, we’re also open to out-of-town and out-of-state adoptions, as long as:

A virtual home visit is possible
Travel distance is reasonable
There are good resources for greyhound owners in your area

Most adopters will need to travel to Lubbock to meet or pick up their dog, though meeting part-way may be possible. Each situation is considered on a case-by-case basis. We do not charge a processing fee to apply. Submit your application and let’s begin the conversation.

If You’ve Found a Dog Wearing Our Tag

Please contact us immediately if you’ve found a Greyhound or Lurcher wearing one of our group’s ID tags.

If You have found a Greyhound or Lurcher in a Dangerous Situation--Please contact us so we can help.

We want to help and have been notified many times about dogs that are out loose on the streets, in nearby shelters, abandoned, injured, or other similar situations where they plainly need our help and support. Keep in mind, resources are limited and proximity to Lubbock has to be considered. If we cannot help, we will try and offer advice and suggestions.
