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.
