Dogs Available Roster

Greyhound Pets of America (Cape Girardeau, Mo)

~Why We’re Different ~
We strongly believe that potential adopters should have a chance to learn about the greyhounds available, see what they look like, ask questions about particular dogs, and ultimately choose a greyhound who will suit their circumstances and enrich their lives. We will help adopters choose dogs by providing information about each dog and offering suggestions about which dogs would work best for their lifestyle.  We accomplish this by offering “weekenders” so you can actually take the greyhound into your home and see if that particular dog will be a good fit in your home and with your family before making your decision.

We currently have five sweet & lovable greyhounds and one greyhound mix (lurcher) looking for their forever homes. Please consider the possibility of one becoming a member of your family.

comment Jewel is well behaved and sweet. She gets along great with other dogs, even cats, but small children make her nervous. She loves chasing the squirrels in the backyard. This girl would prefer to have a fenced yard because she doesn’t care to potty on a leash. Jewel is a treasure, for sure!
available since APR 2011


We also have a “lurcher” or greyhound mix available for adoption. This fine boy was rescued off the streets after being noticed running loose for almost 2 weeks.

He is friendly and has been neutered, received his shots and tested heart worm negative. He is thought to be 2 to 3 years of age. A very handsome brindle boy that will make someone a very nice addition to the family. All he needs is a little TLC

Name: Murphy
