 STAR CITY GREYHOUND ADOPTIONS, INC.

Star City Greyhound Adoptions, Inc. in Roanoke, VA, is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the retired racing greyhound. 

Our mission is to educate the public about these wonderful dogs and find them loving, quality, forever homes.  Our interest in the adoption doesn’t stop when we place a dog.  We offer 24 hour greyhound support, and try to work with the adopter and dog to solve any problems that may arise.  If at any time the dog is no longer wanted or we feel the home is not beneficial to either parties the dog always has a home here with us.

SAGE (Save A Galgo Español) http://www.sagehounds.com

SAGE is a recently started organization founded to raise awareness and make a difference in the lives of the closest relative of the greyhound, its cousin the galgo Español. They are located between Harrisburg and Gettysburg in South Central Pennsylvania.

Their main goal is to educate the American people about the situation of the Spanish galgo by giving seminars and through use of the internet. While open to work with other rescues in Spain, their closest connection at this moment is with Asociación BaasGalgo, working in areas known for their cruelty to galgos: Castilla la Mancha and Andalucia.
They also support shelters though fundraising.

While they do not believe that bringing galgos to the US is the answer to the problem in Spain, they try to make an annual trip to one or more shelters in Spain and bring back a few dogs that need homes. They never rule out any dog, including dogs that have specific medical needs, if that can be provided for them here in the US. Typically the dogs chosen for travel to the US are those that have been in the shelter for a longer period of time or stand the least chance of being adopted.

Midwest Greyhound Adoption

Midwest Greyhound Adoption is based out of suburban Chicago, Illinois U.S.A.  We are an Illinois and Federal Not-for-profit organization, incorporated since 1991.  We have placed well over 2000 retired greyhounds.  A portion of the greyhounds we take in, have broken legs or require some type of corrective surgery.  These medical needs are taken care of before they are placed for adoption. We are an all volunteer adoption group.

MGA, in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Corrections launched the L.A.R.K Program at Robinson Correctional Center in October 2012.  This program seeks to benefit retired racing Greyhounds who are waiting to go to their 'furever' home by pairing them with offenders who have demonstrated a willingness and dedication to true change. Dogs available for adoption will be placed at RCC for a period of roughly 90 days to prepare them to go into an adoptive home where they will be a loving addition to a family.  Not only does this benefit the dog but offenders learn responsibility. accountability and skills that will assist them in returning to their communities successfully. MGA is a 501C3 organization that is funding the entire L.A.R.K project through fund raising and donations.

Greyhound Rescue and Rehabilitation

Greyhound Rescue & Rehabilitation (GRR) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit adoption/placement organization founded in May 2000. Every day, in all parts of the country, racing greyhounds are being retired due to injury, illness or just for being too slow, often by a split second. GRR helps as often as we can, and we’re thrilled that over 1100 greyhounds have become part of the GRR family. Our organization is comprised of volunteers, dedicated to raising public awareness about the ex-racing Greyhound; their gentle & loving nature, wonderful disposition and suitability as pets and companions. Our geographic focus is Westchester, Putnam, Duchess, Rockland, Orange and Ulster Counties, NY and Fairfield County and Litchfield County, CT. With the help of foster families, we acclimate the dogs to a home environment and prepare them for adoption. We find suitable and loving homes where the Greyhounds will be members of the family, and provide our adopting families with support and assistance as needed.
