Greyhounds, like dogs from fighting rings, just aren't meant for rehoming as normal dogs. They're not trained to be house dogs. A few years ago, a new law in Texas was passed to allow police dogs to retire with their trainers (instead of being auctioned off as surplus property), which is really a better idea, a K-9 unit does not sound like something you want around the house, and would be better off staying with its partner.
Both of my siblings adopted animals from shelters (the dog was kept in a kennel most of the day and still has some training issues like peeing when it gets too excited) but my brother's cat was a housecat that got lost and replaced, then taken to the shelter when it was eventually found, yet still is very needy and meows a lot.
I'm not sure about cats, but it seems the last time I went to the shelter, almost every dog there was a pitbull or pit mix.
I think it was on 4chan (might've been here) where anon went to the animal shelter to get a dog and explicitly made it clear that he didn't want a pitbull or pit mix, and they got pissed at him as if he said the "N word".

They will also just straight up lie to your face about the breed of the dog.
“What, of COURSE this isn’t a shovel headed shitbull! It’s a Labrador Retriever! How very dare you!”
