Giving you the run around

Baby I was born to run – if I was a greyhound. Greyhounds are the fastest breed of dog in existence; they can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour over a short distance. They are also commonly known as "45 mile per hour couch potatoes". They can run very fast, but are more than happy to snooze the day away. This makes them well suited to suburban life but they still need their exercise – a daily walk will do (it’s great for your health too). In fact Gator, an exquisitely graceful hound, would love to go for a walk. He is available for adoption and is waiting at Greyhound Friends.

Greyhound Friends, Inc. is a non-profit organization located in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, dedicated to saving racetrack greyhounds and placing them in responsible, loving homes. We invite you to learn more about us by reading our website and visiting our kennel. For more information, go to: www.greyhound.org or call 508-435-5969.
