About Fast Friends

Fast Friends began finding homes for retired racing Greyhounds from a local track in 1992. Retired racers are the heart and soul of Fast Friends, and we have continued to welcome Greyhounds from Florida, Alabama, West Virginia, Kansas, and, most recently, the United Kingdom.

In 2017 our mission expanded to all sighthounds in need around the world. We work with international rescue partners to help save abandoned hunting dogs in Spain, meat trade dogs in China, and street dogs in Oman.
