What is Birmingham Greyhounds?
A bunch of greyhound-owners in the metro-Birmingham area with interests in one of the coolest animals on the planet. We meet informally to socialize with other grey-owners and share experiences, knowledge, and most importantly to let the hounds hang-out with others of the same temperment. We let them run off-leash on the weekend at an event known as The Romp. If you would like more information, or would like to see what we do, please check the calendar, or join the
DooDah Day 2008 - May 17th
This year we will be participating again in the parade, with a simpler float design, and showing off the greys rather than our mastery of float building and decorating. You are welcome to join us on the float, or marching behind. Entry fee for the float and all passengers is $20, each marcher/dog following the float is charged $5/head.

Greyhounds are not Labrador Retrievers....
Scarry experience that turned out OK, maybe we can all learn something from Brittany's afternoon in the
park: " Nose to the ground he was tracking something and he was well ahead of
my friend and I. I called but he didn't come this time. Off he went,
through the woods and he was gone. Fear instantly hit me as I started
to remember all the warnings I had not heeded...." Read the whole story

I am interested in adopting a greyhound
Although greyhounds are wonderful animals, they are not for everyone. Given their fragile coats and frames, they are not well designed for outdoor life. There are several sites with abundant information about adopting, raising, and caring for the amazing greyhound. Or you can adopt directly from the Birmingham Race Course by downloading the adoption form. If you are unsure about greyhounds as a pet, please join us for our weekly romp, where we bring the hounds out to stretch their legs. Please check the calendar for time and location
