About this shelter

Escarosa Greyhound and All-Pet Adoptions in Pensacola, FL

Escarosa Greyhound and All-Pet Adoptions, originally established as Escarosa Greyhound Adoptions by Mike Massaro in 2001, was born from his dedication to animal rescue in the Florida Panhandle. Mike was recognized for his significant contributions to the Pensacola Humane Society and various rescue organizations, but he found his true calling in rehoming retired racing Greyhounds. In late 2007, we joined Mike as volunteers and gradually took over the daily operations of the rescue as his health declined. Following Mike's passing in May 2009, we committed ourselves to continuing his mission of rescuing greyhounds and other pets. Our organization focuses on the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of greyhounds, various dog breeds (including mixed-breeds), cats, and small pets, depending on available space. Operated entirely by volunteers, we rely solely on donations and small fundraising events for our funding. While many of our adoptable pets are housed at a central location, we also utilize foster homes. All of our animals receive quality food, daily enrichment, plenty of exercise, and a great deal of affection.

Adopting from this shelter

Adoption process

All of our pets undergo evaluations for temperament and health prior to adoption. Each pet is vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and has received appropriate medical tests, including heartworm antigen testing and any necessary treatments. Our Adoption Coordinator collaborates with potential adopters to help identify the best pet for their family and living situation. While we have an Adoption Contract, we recognize that each adoption is unique and do not impose strict requirements in our process. Our primary goal is to place each pet in a permanent home. Adoption fees are set at $175 for purebred dogs, $125 for mixed-breed dogs, and $75 for cats. These fees are fully refundable within one week of adoption if the pet does not fit the adopter’s circumstances. At Escarosa Greyhound and All-Pet Adoptions, we believe that adopting a pet is a lifelong commitment, and we strive to find the most suitable homes for our animals. In the event that an owner is unable to care for a pet, we are happy to welcome our adoptees back into our organization.
