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

GPA SENIOR SANCTUARY OF FLORIDA

GPA Senior Sanctuary of Florida is a group of volunteers who are dedicated to placing senior greyhounds over the age of seven either in permanent foster homes or hopefully with new adoptive families. They are also dedicated to educating the public of the importance and true meaning of lifelong commitment when adopting.

Senior greyhounds are friendly, intelligent, affectionate dogs that thrive on attention. When their racing careers are over, they make marvelous companions. Unfortunately, there are many senior greyhounds retired from breeding, abandoned in shelters, or thoughtlessly returned by their adopters to the adoption groups they originated from. It is unfair and extremely sad that, at an elderly age when they should be relaxing and enjoying the golden years of their lives, they are being bounced around and left to be forgotten. This is why the Senior Sanctuary was formed. See our seniors and more info at  www.gpaseniorsanctuary.org
