WAG

As part of the adoption process, we will schedule an in person meeting. Usually for this meeting, one of our representatives will come to your home, and make any suggestions they feel are necessary to accommodate a greyhound. Home visits are generally brief, with a standardized checklist. During the meeting, we will discuss what to expect when bringing home a retired racing greyhound and whether a greyhound really is the right choice for your family. We ask that everyone in the family be present for this meeting to make sure that everyone is in agreement on the new family member. Our goal is to make sure that a greyhound is a good fit and that the dog will have a loving permanent home. Our team will do their best to suggest hounds that may be a good fit for you. If we do not have a good fit for you at that time, your adoption representative will stay in contact as we welcome more hounds to WAG. If we do have a good fit for you, we will coordinate a time for you to meet the hound. WAG usually has between three and five dogs available for adoption. WAG runs strictly out of foster homes and the number of dogs we can have at any time is limited by the number of available foster homes. Even before an adoption can take place, WAG works with our partners at race tracks across the country to select recently retired dogs and to provide them with forever homes. This pre-adoption process includes transportation from the track, spay/neuter surgery, surgery/rehab to heal injuries if required, dental cleanings, health certificates, vaccinations, and other medications, all of which is paid for by WAG. Given the increasing cost of transportation and veterinary care, WAG does reserve the right to revisit adoption fees to help us defray these costs as needed. WAG prides itself on providing the highest quality of care possible to our hounds before they are matched with their forever homes.
