    Special Fund Raisers:

    We did greyt with our first cookbook, "Greyt Recipes from Greyt People" and they are now gone. We came out with a second cookbook , "Greyt Recipes from Greyhound Familes". This is an outstanding cookbook. It has over 570 recipes . All of them are quick & easy. There are many brunch recipes and also some for make the night before for breakfast. There are many crockpot, soups, and salads that can be taken to picnics because they have no mayo. Look for the chocolate cheesecake with 6 packs of cream cheese!!! There are many side dishes with zucchini, tomatoes and all those other good veggies. There are recipes for alot of casseroles, doggy biscuits, body paint & much more. Buy several @ 15.00 each to keep on hand for shower gifts or last minute gifts. You will also be helping a greyt cause. To get some of these cookbooks please call Linda @ 610-264-8111 or email

    SPECIAL EVENT: The Greenawalds Halloween Parade on Saturday, October 25. Registration is at 12:00 PM, Judging is at 12:30 PM, and the Parade starts at 1:00 PM. Your greyhounds don't need to be in costumes but it sure looks neat. You & your family could also dress up. We will be giving out prizes for the 3 best dressed greyhounds. This is a greyt way to show people how truly greyt they are.

  • We need some people that can do M&G's. If you can donate as little as 3 hours anytime in a month, then this would be a big help in finding greyhounds new homes. The greyhounds can't leave the track & tell people what wonderful house companions they make. They are counting on us to help them. Won't you please help us to help them to a new life with a family. If you are interested in learning how or know of a good place in your area to hold a M&G, please contact Linda at email

  • Brood Mamas, Seniors, and Special Needs. Have you ever considered adopting a Brood Mama, Senior, or Special Needs hound? Please contact Linda if this is something you would like to learn about. These special hounds have so much love to offer and deserve to have a home and family to love. Some are retired brood matrons and some need to be rehomed due to no fault of their own. A special program has been set up for people who would like to open their hearts and homes to these very special hounds. As Linda always says, "These hounds are so sweet that when you give them a kiss you'll come away with a cavity". Please think about adopting one of these very special greythounds!

  • Greyhound Educational Opportunity ? Have Linda visit your child?s school to educate and aid in promoting greyhound adoption. For the elementary children, Linda will read a greyhound book and talk to them about greyhounds. A greyhound book can be donated to the school?s library. And, for the Middle School & High School students, a project could be done involving retired racing greyhounds or greyhounds as pets. Please contact Linda via email if you would like your school to be involved.

  • Greyhound Pet Sitting - We also offer pet sitting for your greyhound(s). Please contact Linda Ann by phone (610) 264-8111 or email if you are interested.

  • Please see our separate Fund Raisers heading below for the latest in items you can buy to spoil your hounds! All proceeds help us to help more hounds. Thanks for your support!

    Who We Are

    Linda Ann's Greyhound Rescue, Inc. is an all volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3 registered rescue group devoted to the welfare of retired racing greyhounds. Our home base is in Whitehall (outside of Allentown), Pennsylvania which is about two hours north of Philadelphia. We serve the needs for greyhounds in and around the Lehigh Valley area and will also go outside the area if the need arises.

    Each of our greyhounds is first placed in a foster home where they learn how to adapt to living in a home. We will find the best homes for as many of this very deserving breed of dog as possible. We will provide as much support and education as you want and need before, during and after the adoption. We want this to be a smooth transition for both the greyhound and of course your family.

    We hope you will share your happiness with your greyhound with your friends, family and neighbors. Hopefully their interest in adoption will allow us to save more greyhounds from the track before they are destroyed.

    Allow a greyhound to caress your heart.

    Adopting a friend

    We will make every effort to match the perfect hound for your family. Prior to adoption, potential adopters are required to complete an application which includes veterinarian and personal references and a home check. You can either print our on-line application or email us to have an application mailed to you. Our adoption fee is $250. This includes:

    We also offer a $50 discount if you adopt two greyhounds at the same time.

    Something to Think About??.

    Have you ever thought about the brood matrons that spend the majority of their lives on a farm raising puppies? When they are retired, they need a special home. They deserve to live their final years on a nice warm couch with a loving family. Brood matrons are the sweetest old gals around and are so appreciative to any and all attention that is offered.

    If you are truly interested in possibly providing a safe loving home to one of these deserving hounds, please contact Linda Ann via email . A special home is needed for these special gals.

    Come Visit Us!

    We have Meet & Greets almost every weekend at various locations in the Lehigh Valley area. Come meet the adoptable dogs and talk to greyhound owners who are there with their own dogs.

    Please remember, when bringing your greyhounds to M & Gs, we are the guests of the establishment that we are visiting. We want to be welcomed back so we can continue to talk to people about greyhounds. In order to do this we must be respectful of the establishment, their property (including animals) and their customers. Please continue to help us help the greyhounds that still need homes by following the above.

    Our current schedule is listed below. Dogs will be present unless otherwise noted. You can also email or call us at (610-264-8111) for future dates and locations.
