Greyhound Adoption Outreach at PetUtopia
On the third Saturday of every month, Homes for Hounds Greyhound Adoption Agency will be at PetUtopia for an adoption outreach. Homes for Hounds, a non-profit greyhound adoption agency based in Waldport, Oregon strives to find loving homes for these extraordinary animals. Contrary to what you may have heard, greyhounds are not hyper dogs, nor do they need the amount of exercise you may think. Since they are retired, most of them want nothing more than to curl up on your couch and relax for the rest of their days. Greyhounds revel in the attention they get from you and are eager to please you once they understand your expectations.
