Meet & Greets are a wonderful way to meet greyhounds up close and to talk to their owners about the joys of adopting an ex-racer. Meet & Greets are hosted by SEGA volunteers who typically bring their own pets.
You are more than welcome to attend a Meet & Greet near you to meet some lovable hounds, scratch a few ears, and gather information about our organization.
We do not adopt greyhounds out onsite at the Meet & Greets – these events are intended to be a starting point for those who are curious about Greyhounds. If you decide that a greyhound is right for you, simply fill out an application online, or you may leave your name and contact information with the Meet & Greet host. After we receive, review, and approve your adoption application, you’ll be able to meet hounds who are currently seeking a loving home.
We look forward to seeing you as we’re out and about around Atlanta!
