Sponsorship Program
The Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest Sponsorship program cares for Senior Greyhounds and Special Needs Greyhounds that are older or have complicated medical conditions. Because these Greyhounds require extra care, their stay in our foster homes may be longer than most. We accept any Greyhound in need, whether the dog was originally placed by Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest or not.
Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest accepts into its foster program any dog with an injury, disease or just old age. This arrangement has enabled these Greyhounds to get the special monitoring they need to find the appropriate medical treatment for each dog. If a senior aged Greyhound does not find an adoptive home, we will care for that dog for the rest of it's life in a loving foster home. Every Greyhound in our program is treated with love, caring and the best medical attention available.
We know that not everyone is able to adopt or foster a Greyhound but you can still help these beautiful creatures. You can become a sponsor for the special dogs in our foster program. Sponsor a Greyhound for yourself or in someone else's name as a gift or memorial. Sponsorship can be rewarding for birthdays, anniversaries, school classrooms, retirement home residents and others who can't adopt their own Greyhound but want to be a part of our effort.
You CAN and WILL make a difference in the life of a Greyhound in need of special care. Your help and support will make a difference . . . one Greyhound at a time.

Haze
Female
Age: 3
Color: White with Brindle
Haze came to us from Florida where she broke her rear leg. She has the most common type of break for a racing Greyhound, a broken Tarsal bone and her Calcanious bone, the main heal bone, has shifted out of place. This caused her ligaments to be displaced and made it impossible for her to use her leg without pain.
