Adopt a Greyhound in New Jersey

Greyhounds are gentle, affectionate, and famously lazy at home — despite being the fastest dog breed in the world. Many enter rescue as retired racers through dedicated networks. A rescued Greyhound is a quiet, dignified couch companion who only needs a couple of brisk walks a day.

New Jersey's rescue dog community is highly active, with organizations across the state running on transport from Southern shelters. Newark, Trenton, and the shore communities have particularly active networks. A rescued New Jersey dog has typically traveled significantly to reach its new home.
