Hounds of the Heartland of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma is a non-profit humane greyhound adoption

for both retired racing greyhounds that can no longer
compete and for young greyhounds not placed on the
racetrack. Our aim is to let the public know what excellent,
loving pets these noble dogs make. We are an incorporated,
501-(c)(3) not for profit group under the national direction of
Greyhound Pets of America.

With their excellent temperaments and gentle natures, greyhounds, including
retired racing greyhounds, make wonderful pets. Generally
even tempered and gentle, they are pack-oriented dogs which
means that they will quickly adopt human "masters" into
their pack. They can get along well with children, dogs, and
other family pets (though are sometimes not safe with
smaller pet animals or untrained children). Greyhounds are
generally loyal, tractable dogs with developed intellects.
They are most affectionate towards those that they know and
trust. To allow different greyhounds to hunt and race
together, aggression towards other dogs and people has been
nearly eliminated from the breed. Greyhounds bark very
little, which makes them excellent suburban pets, and are
usually as friendly to strangers as they are with their own
family. The most common misconception concerning greyhounds
is that they are hyperactive. It is usually the opposite.
The greyhound is basically a quiet dog and will spend most
of its time sleeping in a favorite spot. -
