About Forever Home Greyhound

Forever Home Greyhound Adoptions is a group of very close friends who banded together in an effort to help as many retired racers as possible. We are a not-for-profit organization whose sole interest is helping the Greys find the perfect forever home.

Our Mission

Once the Greys have finished their career, they just want a nice, soft couch to lie on and a warm, loving family to lavish them with love and attention. That's where we come in. The dogs love their racing career, and the competition brings them great joy. Their love of running and the competition is genetic, and it fills their lives with excitement and happy days. When their time comes to leave the workplace and join the retirement community, their owners and trainers, please let us know, and we will take them into our care until we can find them just the right family to take up where their loving trainers and caregivers at the track leave off. It's a partnership between the racing industry and Forever Home Greyhound Adoptions, which works smoothly and affords the dogs a smooth transition from one lifestyle to another.

Introducing Paula LaPorte, the Founder & President

Our president and founder, Paula LaPorte, after adopting her very first greyhound, LILLI, decided that she had finally found her niche in life and went about forming Forever Home Greyhound Adoptions so that she could become totally involved in the responsible placement of these magical creatures. Once a greyhound comes into your life, it is changed FOREVER for the better, is what she always says, and her mission now is to let as many people as possible know and to assist them so that they may also know the pure joy of sharing their lives with a mystical, magical greyhound!!

Martha Schoene, Vice President

Our Vice President, Martha Schoene, has been a greyhound owner for years. She currently shares her home with three of her own and ALWAYS has at least one foster dog on board. Martha is always willing to drop whatever she is doing to pick up retirees and bring them home. She and her husband, Tom, and their two daughters are very active as a family unit in the fostering and placement of our fur kids.
