Care Guides
- The Greyhound Gang Guide
Very useful guide, although aimed at a USA adoption group so remember your dog may be used to larger kennels than the crates they describe. Great advice and small enough to be able to print and read easily.
- GEM's Greyhound Guide
More detailed information on what to expect and how to prepare, also has a good reading list.
- Whittingham Kennels, formerly known as Walthamstow Homefinding Scheme
The retirement kennels I used - their website has a few pages on care including tips and tricks. Useful for UK adopters.
- GPAC Adoption Handbook
Another guide by a kennels, this time one in Canada.
- Book: Retired Racing Greyhounds for Dummies
The only book I bought, this is a good all-round guide including a guide to his body - useful for those who haven't had dogs - and basic medical advice. The best thing it told me was to teach the "off" command first!
- Greyhound Racing Board: The Greyhound
This section of their website tells you about their life from birth to retirement. Whether you approve of greyhound racing or not, it is useful to understand a little more of their background and experiences.
