Although we make every effort to see that the greyhounds in our care are adopted, there are rare instances when an animal becomes unadoptable and is euthanized (humanely "put to sleep"). How do you feel about this?
Colorado Greyhound Adoption maintains a neutral stance on greyhound racing. We deal with kennel owners and greyhound breeders and foster an amicable relationship with them. How do you feel about this?

When will you be willing to begin volunteering?
Are there any restrictions such as work/school schedule that may affect your availability for volunteer work?
