Dogs Available

We adopt greyhounds to homes in Illinois. Fill out our application, send it in or bring it with you when you come to look at the dogs available. We don't choose your greyhound for you, you choose your own greyhound (or as we say "the greyhound chooses you"). Once you have decided on your greyhound, usually a male greyhound can be in your home within a week and a female greyhound can be in your home within two weeks. You need to plan on making two trips to the farm. The first visit is to bring everyone who lives in your home to choose your greyhound and sit down for the two hour interview. The second visit is to bring your greyhound home.

We don't use the foster process because it is very simple to teach a greyhound the rules of the house and wouldn't you rather the greyhound learn your rules of the house instead of someone else's? The only time we prefer to foster is if a greyhound is returned from a home and we feel the greyhound would do better in a foster home instead of a kennel.

We have decided, in the best interest of the greyhound and the family, not to adopt to new families who have children under the age of 5 years living in their home.

We do adopt to homes that do not have a fenced in yard. In this circumstance, you must agree that you will always walk your greyhound on a leash, your greyhound will never be "tied out", you understand that invisible fences DO NOT work with greyhounds, and the greyhound will be let off lead only when he or she is in an entirely enclosed fenced area.

Please contact Mona Moore for more information at 815-538-DOGS. Our adoption fee is $175 which includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm screen, worming, tick fever panel, dental and grooming. We also micro-chip all greyhounds which has a $10 activation fee. Please call ahead of time to make an appointment to see the dogs available for adoption.

REGAP of Illinois reserves the right to decline any adoption at its discretion.
