GREYHOUND HOPE REHABILITATION AND ADOPTION

 

 

 

Greyhound Hope Rehabilitation and Adoption, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) volunteer organization consisting of like-minded individuals who have a strong love and commitment for the welfare of the racing and retired greyhound.

 

Greyhound Hope Rehabilitation and Adoption's mission is to offer assistance to greyhounds with a career ending broken leg. 

We plan to fulfill our mission in three main ways:

1. By working closely and having a great rapport with greyhound adoption groups and the greyhound racing industry...especially in Florida;

2. By offering assistance to other 501 (c)(3) greyhound adoption groups for veterinary fees needed to repair the broken leg; or

3. By Greyhound Hope Rehabilitation and Adoption taking the greyhound for rehabilitation and adoption.

SAGE (Save A Galgo Español)

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.

NEVADA GREYHOUNDS UNLIMITED 

 

Nevada Greyhounds Unlimited is a local non-profit organization dedicated to finding loving permanent homes for ex-racing greyhounds. We do not have our own kennel, but work with several other rescue groups that bring the greyhounds off the track and prepare them for adoption. We talk to prospective adopters, take in applications, conduct home visits, and then process applications through the adoption agencies that we work with. Most of the greyhounds we place are from the Caliente racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico or from Phoenix, Arizona.

We sponsor many events throughout the year that serve both to educate the public and to help us meet people who are interested in adopting greyhounds. We have many wonderful volunteers that help us with everything from writing our newsletter to helping us with all our Meet N Greets and social functions. Many of our greyhounds are trained as Pet Therapy dogs and we even have a couple of them that are certified as Service Dogs.

The Greyhound Alliance

The Greyhound Alliance is dedicated to greyhound welfare, facilitating greyhound adoption and furthering education and support for greyhound owners, potential adopters, and the community at large. Whether through education, fundraising, or more hands-on efforts like transport and placement, we are committed to doing our part.

 

The Sunburst Project was developed as part of The good work of The Greyhound

 Alliance, and was designed to move Florida retiring greyhounds to non-racing

 states.  The Alliance opened its Sunburst Kennel at the Ebro Greyhound Park in

 the Florida Panhandle on August 1, 2011, with the goal of finding homes for as

 many retiring racing greyhounds from the Florida tracks as possible.  Since

 then, The Project has moved over 3,000 retired racing greyhounds from our

 Sunburst Kennel to 35 adoption groups in 22 states and Canada — an

unprecedented record. The Project has grown to include taking in retiring racers

 from all of the Florida tracks.  For more information, please visit their website

THE AMERICAN LURCHER PROJECT

(formerly Ohio Lurcher Project)

 

The American Lurcher Project Team works on behalf of the lurchers (greyhound mixed breeds) to get them to responsible adoption groups. We believe these wonderful dogs deserve a second chance to live a life in a real home. Lurchers have a wonderful strong spirit and most of the lurchers adjust quickly and are very appreciative of their new home and family. We are not an adoption group, but we rescue and transport the dogs to groups throughout the United States and Canada. We are forever indebted to the adoption groups who have taken these wonderful dogs and given them a second chance.  More information at www.americanlurcherproject.org
