Welcome to Northern Lights Greyhound Adoption

Northern Lights Greyhound Adoption (NLGA) is a nonprofit group of volunteers dedicated to finding responsible homes for retired racing greyhounds and educating the public about greyhounds as pets. NLGA has been placing these faithful, loving and wonderful companions 21+ years. In that time we have found homes for over 1,600 dogs. Our adoption coordinators will work closely with you to find out if a greyhound is the right breed for you, your family and your lifestyle.

COVID-19 Updates from NLGA: We are happy to announce that NLGA has reopened their greyhound adoption services! While we are able to place greyhounds into their new homes, we are doing so with social distancing and precautions in place to ensure the safety of our volunteers and potential adopters. Please contact us if you have questions or are interested in adopting a greyhound. We are also VERY excited to announce that we have resumed some of our activities and meet and greet events. Please continue to check our Events Page for the most current information! 

Thank you for your continued support! If you are interested in donating to NLGA please click here. Every contribution is very much appreciated.

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED FOR TURBO!

Before you click away to something else, consider this...

Your opportunity to foster and maybe even adopt Turbo is just a phone call away. Think about it this way. On the positive side, fostering gives you a great chance to learn how Turbo will act in your home. On the other hand, most people fail at fostering and complete the adoption. You could have a new pup in your home sooner than you thought! It's a win for everyone...especially Turbo!

Here are a few details about Turbo... He's a happy dog. VERY happy! He's a very nice and polite boy. He'll be 3 years old in November. A young pup! Turbo loves to play with toys.m Turbo is a handsome dog. Turbo is content in his crate. Good so far, right? Turbo loves going for walks. He's a great eater. Turbo is a quick learner. Turbo is available for fostering AND adoption right now!

Here's more about Turbo that he thought you might like to know.

Turbo lives up to his name. He has a very strong prey drive. This means he has a very strong desire to chase and capture small furry things. Turbo and cats won't get along. Turbo and small dogs? Nope. If you're on a walk and Turbo sees a squirrel, hang on! He won't stop thinking about Mr. Squirrel for about 20 minutes. That's a strong prey drive! Don't let the prey drive thing stop you from fostering or adopting Turbo. It's manageable. Turbo is a very strong dog (most are at 2 years old) so a harness may be better than a traditional Martingale collar. Needless to say, Turbo shouldn't go off leash except in your home. Even a fenced in yard won't stop Turbo from turning on the after burners and chasing down a critter in your yard.

Turbo just needs to learn to chill. Can you teach him?

Call Turbo Today! 763-754-9754

(Donna will probably answer the phone since Turbo hasn't figured out phones yet.)
Turbo has his bags packed and is ready to go!
