n November of 1998, we adopted our greyhound named Buster. I did not know anything about greyhounds at the time, and was just shopping at PetSmart. The local Greyhound adoption group were having an adopt-a-thon at the entrance of the store. I had always thought it would be "neat" to adopt a "racedog", so I stopped and petted a few of them, and talked to the reps. For some reason, this particular greyhound caught my attention and I visited with him, and walked him around the store. I was given an application and an info packet on greyhounds, and was told that they were going to be out at Petsmart again the next day, so I asked if they could bring him back so I could show my husband. I spent some time researching greyhounds, and after a few days of thought, we decided to adopt Buster! And I have since learned soo much from him and about greyhounds in general. Watching him transform from a track dog to house pet was quite an adventure, and a very rewarding experience!!! I now spend some time volunteering for our local adoption group.
