Greyhound Pets of America/Louisville, KY Chapter

Dog rescue in Louisville, KY

Greyhound Pets of America (GPA) is a national 501(c)3 corporation organized completely by volunteers who are dedicated to finding responsible, loving homes for professional racing greyhounds who no longer qualify to compete at the racetrack.

GPA is neutral on the subject of the greyhound racing industry. Our goal is to find responsible, loving homes for racing greyhounds who no longer qualify to compete at the racetrack.

GPA was founded in 1987 and works extensively with the racing industry to encourage its involvement with adoption efforts. The American Greyhound Council, a racing industry-sponsored organization established for the welfare of the greyhounds, began funding a nationwide 800-number service (800-366-1472) in June, 1990. It asked GPA, as the largest greyhound adoption organization, to administer this service. Since then, GPA has fielded thousands of inquiries about greyhound adoption and sent prospective adopters to the nearest adoption agency.

In 1993, GPA assisted in the adoption of 3,188 greyhounds. In 2000, its member chapters adopted out 4,686.

The GPA adoption program depends on donations and volunteers to accomplish its goal. Whether you send a donation to the national GPA or to one of our member chapters, your donation will be tax-deductible.
