James River Greyhounds does not adopt to homes with children six years old or younger.

​

Once James River Greyhounds receives your application, a confirmation e-mail is sent to you advising that JRG has received your application. A short phone interview is then conducted reviewing your application, answering any questions and scheduling a home visit (in-person or virtual). This process will help ensure each greyhound is placed into his or her best forever home. Home visits are conducted by one or two JRG representatives, and if an in-person home visit, may bring along a greyhound. This way, you can interact with a greyhound for an extended period of time, see how a greyhound behaves in your home, have questions/concerns addressed, and be well prepared for bringing a greyhound home. 

Once your application is approved, you are notified and the adoption is scheduled. All approved applicants will be expected to travel to our partner kennel, Greyt Love Retirement, near Doswell, Virginia to be introduced to their new family member and take them home. Depending on other factors, other arrangements can be possibly worked out; this can be discussed during the home visit process.
