Greyhounds will revel in the attention they get from you and are eager
to please you once they understand your expectations. We work very hard
to place the right dog with the right situation.

Contrary to what you may have heard, greyhounds are not hyper dogs,
nor do they need the amount of exercise you may think. Remember, they
are retired. Most of them want nothing more than to curl up on your
couch and relax for the rest of their days.

Homes
for Hounds is a non-profit
greyhound adoption agency based in Waldport, Oregon. We strive
to find loving homes for these extraordinary animals.
We are at a point where we only have 6 greyhounds left. With the economy the way it is, and adoptions being so slow, we are going to focus our attention on those 6 hounds, plus one of the kennels has 5 or 6 hounds that we can have as we need them. We also are cutting down on expenses by reducing adoption events until this coming spring. Please watch the events page (which will be kept up to date) so that you can catch us when we are in your area. All of you have been so good to Homes for Hounds through the years, I hope you can understand our economic situation and the inability to have 15-20 hounds to choose from. Hounds are available to us at any time from Arizona. The problem is, we have to take 16 hounds at a time and we just can't afford that at this time. We no longer have just 1 kennel person. We have 3 brand new kennel girls that do a bang up job of keeping the kennel clean and these greyhounds happy & comfortable. With such a small number of hounds, the 1 on 1 attention has made an amazing difference in their personalities. Whoever gets one of these 6 hounds is really getting a better than average pal. We all need to applaud the hard work that Jodi, Julaine, & Tiffany are performing. Mark your calendars now. The H4H annual picnic will be on the 3rd Sunday in August. Due to economy measures, there will only be the one picnic this year (Salem). Pictures from this summer's Annual Picnic available here We are always looking for new venues to show our Greys. If you have any ideas, please contact Rayetta and let her know. |

Homes for Hounds travels all over the Pacific Northwest and California placing dogs. If you are interested in adopting a greyhound, fill out the online application or contact one of the area people listed at right.
In order to provide our adopters with the greatest choice possible, it is necessary for us to find other accommodations which means a commercial boarding kennel. Due to the increased costs we have been forced to adjust our minimum adoption donation accordingly. As of the start of May the new minimum dontation increased to $200. We hope that the change does not deter prospective adopters but feel it is necessary in order to ensure that all of the dogs we place get the best care possible so that they start off on the right paw in their new homes.
