Fast Friends Greyhound Adoption Center
Fast Friends is dedicated to finding loving forever homes for retired racing greyhounds and other sighthounds. www.HelpingGreyhounds.org
Fast Friends is dedicated to educating the public about greyhounds and sighthounds and finding responsible, loving homes for those in need. Fast Friends is a state-licensed animal shelter and non-profit organization founded in 1992 in West Swanzey, NH. We are involved with the community providing education, training, and a resource center supporting the public, community groups, and greyhound and sighthound organizations worldwide. We believe that enriching the lives of those in our community, both human and animal, is an essential part of our mission.
Fast Friends Greyhound Adoption Center and Fast Friends Doggy Daycare are both located at 14 West Swanzey Road, in Swanzey, New Hampshire. On average, we have 40 greyhounds residing with us while they wait for new forever homes. You are welcome to stop in for a tour and to meet some of our wonderful greyhounds between 11am - 3pm daily.
Fast Friends Doggy Daycare offers daycare and boarding for dogs of all breeds. All of the proceeds from Fast Friends Doggy Daycre go towards food, medical expenses and general care of the greyhounds.

Say hello to Soul!
This handsome girl is a a Portuguese Podengo! Soul is shy at first, but lets her happy and fun side show once she's sure you mean her no harm. She loves other dogs, and having a confident companion in the home could do wonders for her.
Soul needs an experienced sighthound adopter who can keep her safe and help her transition to home life. She will do best in a household without a lot of activity, in a quiet neighborhood without a lot of commotion.
Does Soul sound like a good fit for your household? If you are in the New England area, please check out our adoption process and complete an application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound. We look forward to getting to know you and seeing if you and Soul would be a good match!

On this day set aside to reflect on all that we are grateful for, we at Fast Friends are so very thankful to you, the supporters who make it possible for the dogs to begin their new lives.
From all of us, and from all the dogs you've helped, have a Happy Thanksgiving filled with who you love.

Timid Atlas would be an introvert's best friend. This little girl is a wadi dog who was rescued in Oman along with six littermates. All of them are extremely shy, and Atlas is the shyest of the group.
She has a wonderful personality, very curious and loving when she feels secure. She needs a patient adopter who will come spend time with her often before taking her home, and who is experienced with fearful dogs. She would love a quiet household with one or two trusted humans who are home a significant amount of time. A confident dog already in the home could make the transition easier for her.
Atlas is extra-special, and we are looking for an extra-special adopter to love her!
Does Atlas sound like a good fit for your household? If you are in the New England area, please check out our adoption process and complete an application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound. We look forward to getting to know you and seeing if you and Atlas would be a good match!

Meet Diana!
This classy lady is a Portuguese Podengo Grande rescued by our newest partner Bring Portuguese Podengos to Light. She is very, very smart and knows her own mind. Diana is a bit reserved at first, but once she gets to know you, she will be a friend for life. Diana would do best in a home with an experienced sighthound owner, as she is very timid. We are asking for Diana to have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, she would not do well in an apartment setting, or living on a busy street.
Does Diana sound like a good fit for your household? If you are in the New England area, please check out our adoption process and complete an application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound. We look forward to getting to know you and seeing if you and Diana would be a good match!

Meet Dexter!
Dexter ia a big cuddle bug ... and when we say big, we mean it literally! His size doesn't stop him from climbing into your lap, though - anything to get more love. Dexter is gentle and sweet, and will snuggle all day long. His ancestry is a mystery, as he was dumped at the door of a vet center in Qatar, where the nice people at 2nd Chance Rescue found him and took him in. Now he's here in the US, looking for a family to love forever.
Does Dexter sound like a good fit for your household? If you are in the New England area, please check out our adoption process and complete an application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound. We look forward to getting to know you and seeing if you and Dexter would be a good match!

Meet Sarabi!
Sarabi has never met a treat she didn't like! After being rescued from the street in Puerto Rico, we think she deserves whatever she wants! Sarabi has nice manners and is all about having fun and soaking up as much attention as she can get. She will make a fantastic addition to whatever family is lucky enough to bring her home!
Does Sarabi sound like a good fit for your household? If you are in the New England area, please check out our adoption process and complete an application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound. We look forward to getting to know you and seeing if you and Sarabi would be a good match!

Edwina and Elsa, our mother and daughter pair from Portugal, have settled right in at Fast Friends! Elsa (white with spots) is very friendly and playful and her mom Edwina (black with white) is a little more reserved but very sweet. Both of these little lovelies are available for adoption, together or separately.
Do Edwina and Elsa (or both!) sound like a good fit for your household? If you are in the New England area, please check out our adoption process and complete an application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt-a-greyhound. We look forward to getting to know you and seeing if you and Edwina or Elsa would be a good match!
