Fast on the track. Faster to the couch.
Second Wind is a volunteer-run rescue in Tucson that places retired racing greyhounds into loving homes across the Southwest. Every hound has finished racing and is ready for a softer, sunnier second act.
Volunteer-run in Tucson, Arizona. Serving the Southwest.
Walk: first Saturday, 9am–noon, Reid Park
Next best friend: stretched out in the sun
Browse the greyhounds currently looking for homes. Each photo card is a chance to start a conversation with our volunteers about whether a particular hound fits your family. Check back often, as the gallery changes when dogs find their people.
