About Our Program

In our sanctuary program, GRI has a fluctuating number of greyhounds at any given time for which we buy food, supplies, or give veterinary care to.

Some of the dogs in our sanctuary program only need our special assistance for a short time, such as Sugan Ann below. Others, however, remain in our sanctuary program until they die.


Sugar Ann came to us with a broken back leg and a front sholder injury, and was in the GRI Sanctuary Program for 2 years.

Thank you so much for helping us to give love and care to these special needs greyhounds!

Sanctuary Sponsor Program



  Once they get into the rescue system, most Greyhounds find a wonderful "forever" home with new adoptive parents. Others, however, may require special help from the Greyhound Rescue of Idaho (GRI) Sanctuary Program. GRI makes a lifetime commitment to all Greyhounds that come into our organization. GRI provides care for returned Greyhounds as well as those from other situations where our intervention is needed.

  Unfortunately, some dogs are not adoptable because of advanced age or serious medical problems. Although these "long-term foster" dogs live in a home environment with their foster family, their expenses are paid by GRI. We currently have 14 Greyhounds in the program with an average annual cost of around $500 per dog. Last year alone, GRI covered $22,000 in veterinary expenses. As these expenses mount year after year, we are finding the need for additional financial help.
