Greyhound Adoption Center
Our mission is to find loving homes for rescued dogs, mostly racetrack greyhounds, but also non-racers and greyhound mixes. Our goal is to save as many dogs as we can while maintaining a quality program focused on each individual dog and prospective adopters' needs. To this end, we serve as advocates for each person adopting and each dog welcomed into their home as family.
