Greyhound Pets of America
Greyhound Pets of America (GPA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding responsible and loving homes for retired racing greyhounds. It was founded in 1987 and is recognized as the largest single nonprofit greyhound adoption group worldwide[5].
Mission and Purpose
The mission of Greyhound Pets of America is to place Greyhounds in permanent homes while educating the public about their suitability as pets[4][5]. Through its network of local chapters across the United States, GPA promotes the adoption of greyhounds, highlighting their gentle and affectionate nature.
Organization Structure
GPA operates as a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation. It has nearly 40 chapters nationwide, each working to facilitate the adoption process and provide support to both adopters and foster families[1]. These chapters are staffed by volunteers who are passionate about ensuring that greyhounds find suitable homes.
Adoption Process
The adoption process typically involves several steps designed to ensure that both the adopter and the greyhound are well-matched:
- Application: Prospective adopters submit an application, often accompanied by a fee.
- Interview: A representative meets with the applicant to discuss lifestyle, family dynamics, and compatibility.
- Placement: The adopter selects a suitable greyhound and completes the adoption.
- Support: Ongoing support is provided by GPA chapters to ensure a smooth transition for both the new pet and its family[2][3].
Educational and Community Outreach
In addition to facilitating adoptions, GPA chapters also engage in educational activities to raise awareness about greyhounds as pets. They often participate in public events and collaborate with local veterinary networks to promote the care and well-being of greyhounds[1].
Impact
Over the years, Greyhound Pets of America has successfully placed over 100,000 greyhounds in loving homes across the United States[1]. Through its extensive network and dedicated volunteers, GPA continues to advocate for the welfare and adoption of greyhounds nationwide.
