Caring for Greyhounds. Championing Their Future.

Dedicated to finding caring and responsible homes for retired racing and rescued greyhounds.

The Greyhound Rescue Society of Texas, Incorporated dba Greyhounds Unlimited is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to finding caring and responsible homes for retired racing and rescued greyhounds. The specific objectives of Greyhounds Unlimited are to promote a caring attitude toward all greyhounds.

To reach its objectives, Greyhounds Unlimited finds caring and responsible homes; rescues sick, injured and abandoned greyhounds; seeks to return lost greyhounds to their owners; teaches the principles of kindness and humane dog care to children and adults; and vigorously promotes animal birth control through every possible means.

Greyhounds Unlimited was founded in 1991 in Fort Worth, Texas by Hope Combest and several dedicated volunteers. As with most fledgling non-profits, we started small. However, it quickly became clear that we could acquire and adopt many more greyhounds than our small foster kennel could house.

Over the years, Greyhounds Unlimited has become more of a residential foster home-based organization. This means our volunteers foster any number of rescued greyhounds in their private homes until the dogs are placed in permanent homes. We have found using a residential foster home is the most effective means of ensuring that retired racing greyhounds become acclimated to a home environment prior to their adoption.

Our organization covers the north to central Texas areas.

Greyhounds Unlimited has no paid staff. We are strictly a volunteer-run organization. All volunteers donate their time and energy.

We take a neutral stand on greyhound racing.

Four Commitments

Find Caring Homes

We find caring and responsible homes for retired racing and rescued greyhounds.

Rescue & Recover

We rescue sick, injured and abandoned greyhounds and care for them through recovery.

Educate

We teach the principles of kindness and humane dog care to children and adults.

Promote Birth Control

We vigorously promote animal birth control through every possible means.

A community of people who simply care.

Every greyhound that finds a home through us does so because a volunteer chose to give their time, their living room, and their heart. We have no paid staff – only people who love these dogs.

From transport runs to home visits, from medical follow-ups to adoption events, our volunteers carry every part of this work.
