Charity of the Month: National Greyhound Foundation, December 2019

SHOPPING HERE HELPS HOUNDS! This month, ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to National Greyhound Foundation in Homosassa, Florida

For over 25 years, the National Greyhound Foundation’s mission statement has been to rescue, adopt, and educate the public about racing greyhounds and other abused people and animals.

We have always been NEUTRAL about Greyhound racing, but NOT NEUTRAL about animal cruelty or abuse to anyone, human or animal.

In 2010 the need to keep overflow retired greyhounds was desperate.  When the call was sent out to organizations for help, the Dept. of Corrections in numerous states answered.  And the 2nd Chance at Life Greyhound and Prison Partnership program was created. It was a win-win situation for everyone, people and these greyhounds.  Years later, we can point with pride at the thousands of greyhounds and “throw away people” this program has given a 2nd Chance at Life to!

GreyhoundAdoption Center is an organization that invests in HOPE and HAPPY ENDINGS.
"We see Greyhounds’ potential and amazingly, these dogs who have no reason to trust humans, give us their trust. With love, nutrition, and medical care, we see them transform from hopeless to hopeful.  Then we take it a step further.  Because they have trusted us, we feel it is our obligation to do everything we can to ensure their happy ending.  We work with adopters to match their lifestyles to the right dog.  Each adoption day is a new beginning and reinforces our hope in happily ever after.  

Now we are based in a volunteer-built shelter which is licensed, clean, comfortable, and climate-controlled.  Our center has 3.5 acres of land, two expansive, fully fenced grassy fields, 13 spacious “Dog Condos” and a primary greyhound lodging kennel. We often have around 50 dogs on premises.GAC relies on the generosity of members, sponsors, donors and volunteers.  The Greyhound Adoption Center is a 501(c)(3) charity."
