Since October 2000: 1,102 Adoptions .... 1 Million Adoptions To Go

First State Greyhound Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and adoption of ex-racing Greyhound dogs. We place greyhounds in homes around the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.

We strive to place dogs in quality adoptive homes, while providing pre-adoptive education and post-adoptive support to make the transition for both the dog and the adoptive family as smooth as possible.

It is important to us that we share our love and admiration for this noble breed with the public so that everyone may see the joy these dogs bring to many families.

First State Greyhound Rescue, Inc holds regular Meet & Greets (which are opportunities for the public to interact with greyhounds, to bring attention to adoptable dogs, as well as to promote greyhound advocacy and awareness), and participates in parades, fairs and other newsworthy events. We also support similar activities coordinated by other rescue organizations.

In the United States, more than 7,000 Greyhounds lose their lives each year because they are no longer fast enough to compete in dog racing, while others sustain racing-related injuries. Some of these dogs find homes through various adoption groups, but all too many are killed.

Help us help them. Bring a greyhound into your home.
