In compliance with the Greyhound Pets of America Code of
Ethics, which governs the adoption of retired racing greyhounds, Coastal Oregon Greyhounds is committed to ensuring that the quality of

adoption from a kennel or foster home.
Some of the greyhounds come straight from the racing
kennels to their new home. Making the transition relatively stress

the home environment and have some awareness of home situations.

Process?
