Castle Greyhound Rescue and Adoption is an Austin based organization that places retired racing greyhounds in loving homes.

There are 15-20,000 racers adopted annually worldwide, through various agencies.

When the racers are no longer in the money and can no longer race, they are disposed of, or placed with adoption groups like Castle GRA. Castle is notified by the track, the greyhound association, the trainer, an owner or breeder when dogs are available. We also have a close relationship with Lockhart Animal Shelter.

Castle places these dogs in foster homes when they first come into our group. This helps us get to know the dogs and their personality, before they are placed into new homes. During the time they are in foster care, they are taken to the veterinarian, get their annual shots, are spayed or neutered, have their teeth cleaned, tested for heartworms and placed on heartworm preventative. During their visit to the vet they are evaluated for injuries or possible health problems. Once this is done, we can start looking for a good home for the greyhounds.
