Royal Hounds is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization in the Seattle area of Washington State and comprised solely of volunteers, who give graciously of their time and love, to this noble breed with the common goal of finding secure and loving homes for the many ex-racing and retired Hounds that grace us with their presence.
At Royal Hounds, our mission is to facilitate the placement and adoption process of ex-racing and retired Greyhounds, and those bred for the racing industry. Specifically,
● We value compassion and respect for people and animals.
● We value the humane treatment of greyhounds before, during and after their use by the racing industry.
● We advocate education on the importance of responsible pet ownership.
● We believe every greyhound deserves life as a beloved pet.

Our volunteers are committed to finding homes FIRST, and then determining what type of dog will best suit the approved adopters lifestyle and needs. Greyhounds are all different, having different temperaments and personalities. While some may seem similar, no two are alike. They require the correct setting if they are to thrive in their new home and adjust easily to their new life. Adopting from us usually means that there will be a waiting period as we go through the process to match the right dog to your home. During this time we suggest that you research the breed and prepare yourselves for a change in your lifestyle once your dog arrives.
We work closely with Victoria, Australia based non-profit Racing 2 Rehome to find forever homes for retired racers.
Our current adoption fee is $550, this includes; spay/neuter, dental, vaccinations, worming, initial application of Frontline (flea and tick product), transportation from Australia, an informative adoption packet, new adopter class, educational in home visit, collar, lead, muzzle, and microchip. You also inherit a great support group to help out with any questions you may have, and to assist in the transition from the racing industry to a career as your new best friend.
