Second
Chance for Greyhounds of Michigan has a network of foster homes. Our
foster homes are volunteers who help care for the greyhounds newly
arrived from a race track or that have been returned to our group for
whatever reason. These are a dedicated bunch of people who often have
adopted their own greyhound and are willing to give their time and
energy to help other greyhounds through the transition period from
track to home.
The
greyhounds that are currently in foster care in Michigan and that are
available for adoption can be seen at "Adoptable
Hounds" page. If you are interested in adopting, please
fill out the online application below and a representative from SCFG
will
contact you in the near future. If there are no greyhounds on the "Adoptable
Hounds" pages
that meet your requirements but you still want to adopt, fill out the
online application anyway. We regularly
bring retired
racers in from the tracks in Florida and Wisconsin.
Second
Chance for Greyhounds Application for Adoption Form
In the interest of the retired greyhounds we place,
part of the adoption procedure includes an application interview. The purpose
of the interview is to be sure that:
New owners are prepared and able to accept the
moral, physical, and financial responsibilities involved in owning a greyhound.
We make the right match between owner and pet
- ALL adults in the home must be named as applicants.
This application will not be accepted unless completely filled out! Thank You!
