Greyhound - Large - Adult - Male - Dog - Dustin The Way

Dustin is a handsome seven year old and member of the 2004 All-American team! He arrived in Utah on April 4. Dustin is a teddy bear of a dog! Very mild mannered, gentle and easy going, he has the softest fur. He has just discovered dog toys are fun! He seeks the company of people and other greyhounds and knows his name. He has not had any accidents in the house and has learned to use a dog door as well as go up and down stairs. Check back for updates and new photos.

We do not have kennel so the dogs are in foster homes throughout the valley. 2. How much does it cost to adopt? For greyhounds age 7 and under, we require a minimum adoption fee of $175.00 to defray the costs of transportation to Utah, spay/neuter, dental, inoculations, etc. 3. Where can I get an adoption application? Either on line at our website or at one of our events. 4. What are your adoption requirements? a. Your greyhound must always kept on leash whenever it is outdoors, unless in a totally fenced area. (Invisible fencing is not adequate.) b. Identification tags must be kept on your greyhound at all times, stating the greyhound's home address and phone number as well as the GPA Salt Lake tag. c. Your greyhound must be kept indoors except when getting walks, exercise or eliminating. Fenced yards are preferred and are REQUIRED when there are children under age 13 in the home. d. Your greyhound must never be tied to anything. e. You understand that your greyhound has not been raised in a home environment and will need time and patience to adjust. You will never discipline your greyhound by hitting him/her. f. You agree to keep your greyhound up-to-date on all necessary shots and medical needs. g. You agree to keep your greyhound as a pet and never use it for racing, breeding, or laboratory research. h. If your greyhound should be missing for any reason, you agree to call GPA Salt Lake and animal services immediately. i. If for any reason, you decide you cannot keep your greyhound, you will return him/her to GPA Salt Lake, who will then find a suitable home. j. You agree to allow a GPA Salt Lake representative to follow up with phone calls and/or visits. k. If at any time the greyhound is not being provided a proper home, the greyhound will be retrieved by GPA Salt Lake. GPA Salt Lake looks for a long-term commitment, financial stability, a willingness to listen and a safe and loving home. Our preference is for homes with a fenced yard and we typically ask families with multiple children under age five to wait to adopt until the children are older. Our goal is to place dogs in "forever homes" by matching the personalities of the dog and the prospective family. Although you see a darling face on this page, that does not necessarily mean that he or she is the best dog for you and your lifestyle. Please be understanding if we direct you towards a dog other than the one you initially liked based upon the photos here.
