Our basic adoption fee of $550 gives you a pure-bred, fully vetted greyhound with a pedigree going back generations.
Every Royal Hounds dog has been spayed or neutered; microchipped; given an initial dental; is fully vaccinated and treated for fleas and ticks.
Our adoptions start with a home visit, where an experienced volunteer answers any questions you have about our hounds and offers expert advice on preparing your home for your new pet, we give you an adoption packet full of useful information to check over while you make your final decision.
When you adopt, your dog comes with everything they need to settle into your home: a basic raised feeder; martingale & tag collars; lead and muzzle. Perhaps more importantly, you will become part of the Royal Hounds family, a great group happy to help out with any questions you may have and give you long-term support as your dog transitions from professional racer to new best friend.

First, a word on cat trainable dogs...

Dogs that are deemed 'cat-trainable' have been tested to see how they react to cats, however, this does NOT mean they will do fine with cats immediately. We always suggest a cautious introduction as well as continued training to help ensure a healthy and safe relationship between your new greyhound and your small household pets. We use the term 'cat-trainable', rather than 'cat-safe' so you are not lured into a false sense of security. We want you to be prepared for some amount of work with introductions. We will provide you with the necessary tools and education to ease the introduction between your new pet and your existing pets.
Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them. If you have no small animals, you will need to adopt a dog that is not deemed small animal trainable.

Our current list of available greyhounds...
Please note there is no such thing as a 'leftover' greyhound - it's not like picking team mates on the elementary school playground. The order our dogs are adopted out is pretty much random, and all of our greyhounds will make wonderful pets. In fact, the best companions are often the greyhounds who have had a longer stay in a foster home where they have had more time to ease into retirement.

Almond (Portal Guard) ADOPTED
DOB: 5/13/2016 Cat Trainable – Yes This big beautiful brindle boy has spent 5 years at the heart of a young Seattle family, but it’s time he moved on. A couple of years ago, Almond started to get corns. His family have worked with their vet and a good online group of owners to treat Almond’s sore pads and minimize his pain, but it’s understandable that his enthusiasm for long hikes has gone. |

In the three months since her final professional run Angela has proved as beautiful on the inside as she in on the surface, loving any opportunity to meet new people and other dogs as she prepares for the long journey to the USA. Angela hasn’t been tested with kids, cats or small pets – watch out for updates on her progress on our Facebook page! |

![]() Pixie ADOPTED
DOB: 03/25/2021 Cat Trainable – Yes Pixie had a home waiting for her when she arrived, so long as she was ok with cats and small dogs. An initial cat-check showed us that she was not cat aggressive, so we embarked on careful cat-training at the adopters’ home. This process takes time to achieve the best results but is very satisfying when it works. Pixie is now settling into a pack of five – 2 cats, two dogs and her!
