Abe
Abe came to us through our friends at the American Lurcher Project. This handsome fellow retired at a very young age as he had no desire to chase anything. Playing is what is on his mind as he is still very much a puppy. Abe is affectionate and cuddly and loves to place his head in your lap and gaze into your eyes. He is curious about all the new things he finds around the house and is working to learn that counters are not for dogs. He does great in his crate while his foster family is at work.

APPLICATION UPDATE
We have dogs 11 NEW DOGS ARRIVING SEPTEMBER! They will be AVAILABLE for ADOPTION so get your application in soon!
If you are considering adopting a greyhound or lurcher, please review the information provided below before submitting an application and review the information on the site regarding our adoption process. Note that as of September 1, 2018, NSGA will no longer place greyhounds and lurchers in homes with children under 3 years of age.
Please review our Available for Adoption page. We are accepting applications for those dogs on the page that do not currently have a Pending Adoption. If you could indicate on your application if there is a specific dog that you are interested in, it would be very helpful. This page changes often so check back on a regular basis.
We respect the time commitment made by other adoption groups and ask that if you are also working with another group, that you not submit an application to NSGA until such time as you have withdrawn it from the other group.

MEET AND GREETS
UPDATED - AUGUST 21 - Calgary Foks! Join us for an Ice Cream Social - September 14!
Pet Planet Glenmore Landing
1600 90 Ave SW Calgary
11 am – 1 pm
We have very few meet and greets scheduled as there has been a shortage of dogs available for Adoption. If you live in the Edmonton area and want to spend some time with greyhounds, please contact us directly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to arrange a meeting.
Meet and Greets provide a greyt opportunity to meet greyhounds in person and talk to their owners about the joys of adopting a greyhound or lurcher.
Meet & Greets are hosted by NSGA volunteers who typically bring their own pets along with them. There will not necessarily be "adoptable" dogs at each outing as these events are intended to be a starting point for those considering adoption. You will however, have the chance to meet some lovable hounds, scratch a few ears, and gather information about our organization.
To see a complete list of our scheduled meet and greets, click on Read More below Please be aware that changes to scheduled meet and greets are sometimes necessary and check back here to confirm locations, dates and times.
