Racing into your heart
Welcome to the homepage of A Place for Us Greyhounds, Adoption & Rescue. Come on in, stay awhile,look around, meet the hounds, and the people dedicated to finding appropriate pet homes for greyhounds from all walks of life, regardless of registry, the retired racing dogs as well as those that never set foot on a track.
A Place For Us Greyhounds is a 501(c)3 organinzation that originated in New Mexico and headed East for a little more excitement. We are a group of volunteers in the Lubbock area who have a goal of finding loving homes for greyhounds who are retired racers or greyhounds needing a new home.
We established APFUG to provide individuals and families who are interested in greyhound adoption the resources and support needed to assist in their decision. It is vital to maintain close relationships with those concerned about he well-being of the greyhounds, and on way for them to "race into your heart" and home.
APFUG's offers support and education to new and experienced greyhound owners. We remain neutral in the greyhound racing debate to focus on the placement of greyhounds into loving homes. The members of APFUG have several years of collective greyhound experince and we are eager to share our greyt experiences and knowledge with you.
