About greyhounds
Many greyhounds in UK rescue are retired racing dogs. The Greyhound Trust says most retire from racing between three and five years old, so a rescue greyhound is usually a young adult rather than a puppy.

No. Rescues rehome greyhounds for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog.

Can I get a free greyhound to a good home in Scotland, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing greyhounds in Scotland today, the published fees run from £150 at Dumfriesshire and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue to £180 at Greyhound Rescue Fife. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 2, see the rescue's own page.
