"The
Greatest Thing I've Ever Known... Someone Came and Took Me Home!"
It
is our duty to ensure that you get a healthy, loving greyhound
and that the greyhound gets a good home with people that will
take care of him or her. We strive to match each of our wonderful
animals with the wonderful family the dog is best suited for
because we want everyone to be happy. To that end, we've created
the following application.
Upon
receipt of your application, a Greyhound Adoption of
Ohio volunteer will contact you. Please do keep in mind
that the people involved are volunteers that have jobs and lives
away from the organization, so they might not be able to get
back to you immediately; but they will contact you as soon as
possible.

NOTE: If you are having problems when submitting this or other forms on our site, please be sure to temporarily disable any firewalls (such as Norton Internet Security or McAfee) that you may have running on your system. Usually, there is an icon in the notification area that you simply have to right click on and disable. Once you submit the form, right click again and enable.
If after submitting your application, you should be directed to a "thank you" page... if you are getting some type of error instead, chances are, it's your firewall that is keeping you from submitting the form!
ATTENTION!!!If you submit your application and don't hear from us within 48 hours, please call us 440-543-6256 or 800-269-1148! Thank you!!
