Greyhound Placement Agencies
Thinking of adopting a greyhound? Live in or around New England?

Greyhound Placement Service of New Hampshire -- I'm quite partial to "Team GPS". Michele is a straight shooter and works HARD for those dogs. There's an excellent "support group" of volunteers/adopters too, from all walks of the Adopted Greyhound world. Couch potatos, obedience, agility, racing, parades, meet n greets, you name it, Team GPS does it.

Greyhound Friends (Hopkington, MA)-- a long time adoption kennel always with plenty of dogs to choose from. Located in Southeastern MA. They've been around a long time and have affiliates in N. Carolina and, I believe, New York.  Check 'em out.

Sighthound Performance Organizations
Got Sighthound? Want to get off the couch and onto the field? Look no further. There's PLENTY to do!

Large Gazehound Racing Association -- Drag Racing for dogs. Straight track, 200 yards, squeaky lure.

National Oval Track Racing Association -- Oval track racing, for all sighthounds. The dogs chase a non-squeaky lure (white plastic, like a trash bag) around turns, anything from a 270 yard U-val, to a 440 yard oval.

American Sighthound Field Association -- Lure Coursing (or "LC"), for all sighthound breeds. Lure coursing is meant to roughly approximate the sighthound's original purpose -- chasing live, zig zagging game, all without having to find that live, zig-zagging game.

National and Regional Breed Clubs
Here's a listing of some sighthound breed clubs.

Borzoi Club of America -- check out their photo of the week for some good shots of 'zois doing what 'zois do.

National Greyhound Association -- the racing greyhound registry.

Dog Essentials
Handy dog links around the Web.

PetsWelcome.com-- Travelling? Trying to find a pet-friendly establishment? This site, though perhaps not totally up to date, was very handy to find motels and hotels that would accept our dogs while we were on the road.

dogpark.com -- another site that may not be updated as often as I'd like to see it updated, but still valuable. We use it to find dog parks near places we plan to travel to.  Always handy to bring a list along, so Fido can stretch his legs, too. I (heart) dog parks...
