KyG Adoption Contract-KYG 20170901 
Adopting any pet is a life long commitment, yours and the pets. Please be sure you are ready. Adopting a pet in need is fulfilling and rewarding, but could add some unique challenges. A Greyhound fresh from the track has never been in a home and your home must be "puppy-proofed", although the structure of track life usually makes them quick to potty train. Most of the Greyhounds that KyG place will have been in a foster home for evaluation and some training or may come straight to your home, with your permission. Once you have an approved Adoption Application, KyG will match a Greyhound to your home. Please allow time for the "Right Hound, Right Home" process to be completed. An approved Adoption Application, adoption fee and a completed and duly signed KyG Adoption Contract must be presented to KyG prior to recieving your adopted Greyhound. KyG adoption fee is currently $250. If you have questions or concerns, please email KyGreyhounds@yahoo.com or leave a message at 502-536-7594 and a KyG volunteer will be happy to get back with you.
