Welcome to Austin Greyhound Adoption!
Our Mission...
AGA's primary goal is to find responsible loving homes for purebred greyhounds after life on the racetrack and to acquaint the public with the desirability and availability of greyhounds as pets.AGA is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes within the meaning of section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Our volunteers work very hard to bring you the best possible hound for adoption.
Small dog and cat testing are done so that a better placement may be achieved. Our hounds are taken to AGA's veterinarian immediately upon arrival to be spayed/neutered, heart worm tested, teeth cleaned, vaccinations, nails trimmed & bathed.
The number of greyhounds we can bring into our program is limited only by the number of available foster homes. If you would like to open your home and heart to a greyhound on their journey from the track to their forever family, contact us at foster@austingreyhounds.org or (512) 895-9150 ext. 2 next to the hound you'd like to help race into retirement!  Did you know that vet costs to intake a hound and ready him/her for adoption can cost $300 to $500 or more? Austin Greyhound Adoption has placed over 425 Greyhounds in loving homes and still counting! Adoption fees only cover part of the cost of readying a Greyhound for adoption. The remainder is paid for by generous donations by Hound-lovers like YOU! Your tax-deductible donation will help even more hounds race into loving homes! Please donate today! 
Mariah - AGA Lifetime Foster  Mariah has become a favorite Senior Gal within the AGA Family! As she has gotten older, though, she has developed a series of chronic benign skin cancers and small tumors that must be monitored and removed when necessary.  AGA has made the decision to make Mariah a permanent foster family member and assure that she gets the attention and medical care that she needs for the rest of her life.  Although she is not in any life-threatening danger, we just think she deserves extra TLC and a "permanent" place to land with us! See more about Mariah on:     A Big THANK YOU to 1-800-PetMeds for the donation of flea and tick prevention for our adoptable greyhounds!  and Jane Caruso-Dahms for photos of several of the greyhounds that are available for adoption through AGA.  | AGA partners with PetLink for microchip registration!  Your AGA Adopted Greyhound is micro-chipped and registered with PetLink prior to adoption! If you have not previously registered the microchip for your AGA Adopted Greyhound, please let us know. We can help you! Contact us for more information! |
