ABOUT GREYHOUNDS UNLIMITED
Greyhounds Unlimited was founded in 1991 in Fort Worth, Texas
by Hope Combest and several dedicated volunteers. As with most
fledgling non-profits, we started small. However, it quickly became
clear that we could acquire and adopt many more greyhounds than
our small foster kennel could house.
Over the years, Greyhounds Unlimited has become more of
a residential foster home-based organization. This means our volunteers
foster any number of rescued greyhounds in their private homes until
the dogs are placed in permanent homes. We have found using a
residential foster home is the most effective means of ensuring that
retired racing greyhounds become acclimated to a home environment prior
to their adoption.
Our organization covers the north to central Texas
areas. If you are not in our area, please call 1-800-GHOUNDS
(1-800-446-8637) to find a greyhound rescue group in your area.
Greyhounds Unlimited has no paid staff. We are strictly
a volunteer-run organization. All volunteers donate their time and
energy at no cost.
We take a neutral stand on greyhound racing.
