HEART OF TEXAS GREYHOUND
In order to adopt a H.O.T.
Hound, you must:
Own your home, or if renting, have your Landlord's
written permission to adopt an animal over 60 lbs.
Have a fenced yard. A fence that is four feet in height is usually sufficient.
If you do not have a fenced yard, you must walk your Greyhound at least four to
five times daily for exercise and "potty" breaks.-
Agree to keep a collar with identification on your Greyhound at all times.

Greyhound's annual vaccinations up-to-date.

Greyhounds are NOT "yard" dogs!

for your Greyhound for the remainder of its life!

When you adopt a H.O.T. Greyhound, every effort will have been made to ensure a suitable match.
However, in the unforeseen event you have to return your Greyhound, please be aware of the
return policy. Unlike some other groups, H.O.T. does not charge a "return dog fee", but
we do ask that the Greyhound be at least up-to-date on necessary vetting prior to their return.
