About James River Greyhounds
James River Greyhounds is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding responsible, caring homes for retired racing greyhounds in the Central Virginia area, the Southeastern South Carolina area and the Northeastern Georgia area. Since 1989, we have found "forever homes" for more than 1850 greyhounds - and counting! We are now partnered with Greyt Love Retirement (GLR) to bring even more greyhounds into the region! GLR provides a shelter to foster greyhounds while they await their forever homes.
