Who we are

Greyhound Care and Adoption of North Carolina, Inc., may be newly established (2024), but our passion for greyhounds spans decades. Our board members and volunteers have dedicated years to caring for and advocating for these remarkable dogs.

With deep experience in greyhound care and adoption, we are committed to providing support to both current greyhound owners and those looking to welcome a greyhound into their family.

Our mission is to ensure every greyhound finds a loving home and receives the care they deserve.
