Craiger's List

All available dogs on this page are considered hard to place for various reasons. Most of these hounds are residing at kennels (or in temporary foster homes) waiting for someone special to take them to their forever home.

When these dogs are placed, the ENTIRE adoption fee will be sent as a donation directly to the Morris Animal Foundation, Greyhound Project, which researches cancer. If you are interested in any of these special hounds, please fill out our adoption application and note the name of the dog that you would like to adopt. We will contact you to discuss your application. These are all wonderful dogs and they deserve special homes. We require that all potential adopters be knowledgeable about dogs in general and greyhounds specifically. In some cases, we will provide additional incentives for adoption, but that will be disclosed at the time the adoption is approved. Please give one of these special hounds a chance. We guarantee that you will be rewarded beyond your greatest expectations!!
Please note: ALL Craiger's List dogs are fostered before being placed.

Craiger's List is named in honor of a very special greyhound that graced our lives for a wonderful , but brief, period of time. Craiger died of lymphoma shortly after his third birthday. He touched us deeply and permanently. We want others to know how giving a special dog a home can be so rewarding. Craiger will always be in our hearts and we hope that his passing will be honored by giving other special dogs a chance at a good life, with time and additional care not being a concern.

We are pleased to announce that our group will be working harder to place greyhounds from Craiger's List. Although we have worked hard and have found homes for hundreds of greyhounds since our group was established, we have had our most satifisying experience finding homes for these special hounds. We have always felt that the "overlooked" dogs also deserved a chance. Therefore, we have enhanced our mission and hope to work on behalf of these deserving animals. There are many people who can talk about how fulfilling their adoption of special needs hounds has been and we have met many wonderful people in the process who understand that the best dogs are sometimes the ones that get overlooked. To date our group has donated $4,450 to the Morris Animal Foundation on behalf of cancer research!!!!!
