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
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!
Alexander adopts Jasper and renames him Jack!
What a perfect match! Alexander recently moved to ABQ. He was not a stranger to Greyhounds yet, hadn't been able to adopt one on his own. But that changed quickly and on a sunny day in Tucumcari, he met us at Dunn Park and started his new adventure of being owned by a Lurcher. He Jack are having lots of fun exploring the ABQ together. Outstanding!!
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!
Nico moves to Austin!
Sara and Philip spent all morning walking dogs at the kennel finally deciding to adopt Guinness who they have renamed Nico. From all reports Nico is thriving under their care and enjoying his new life in dog-friendly Austin!
Del adopts his 30th Greyhound...
Seriously, Del is an icon. He has loved over 30 Greyhounds and was missing not having one since Tatum recently passed away. Del has adopted four from us over the years including Tatum, Lexi, Kato, and now Shiner. Del and Shiner are in ABQ, along with Del's recent shelter rescue--a big goofy dog named Buddy. Did we mention that Shiner is having a blast!
