Greyhound adoption or Greyhound rescue programs focus on finding homes for greyhounds who are no longer needed for racing. Greyhounds have had a reputation for being gentle, people-centered dogs, and "par-excellence for persons wishing for a companion for themselves or their children".[1]
As of 2024, most greyhound adoption programs are based in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, as each of those countries still has relatively large greyhound racing industries.[2]
