All About Hounds

Dog rescue in Smyrna, TN

IN JUNE 2016, ALL ABOUT HOUNDS JOINED FORCES WITH MUSIC CITY GREYHOUND ADOPTION IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. ALL ABOUT HOUNDS WILL NO LONGER EXIST AS AN ADOPTION GROUP, BUT WILL THROUGH MUSIC CITY GREYHOUND ADOPTION. GO TO http://www.musiccitygreyhoundadoption.org/home.htmlFOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS GROUP.


All About Hounds is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, all volunteer-based greyhound rescue group formed in 2009 in Smyrna, TN with the singular purpose of focusing efforts on greyhound rescue in Tennessee. We consider retired racing greyhounds to be wonderful companions that deserve the best possible forever home we can find.

Our goal is to put the welfare and best interests of the greyhound first and promote the group and its works by maintaining a reputation throughout the community as a positive presence committed to educate the public in the availability of greyhounds as pets. We want to do so by preserving a productive and positive atmosphere by being compassionate, respectful and appreciative to volunteers while exhibiting pride in the organization. Our volunteers strive to provide fast, friendly customer service before, during and after the adoption, and use face-to-face solicitation, fundraising, donations, memberships and grant writing in order to grow the organization. By working to increase the volunteer base and thereby increasing the availability of foster homes we will save more and more greyhounds. All the while, we know we must develop and maintain professional relationships with all principled groups in the industry in order to provide help where it is most needed whenever possible.

Our group is proud to be “all about the hounds”.
