Helping Retired Greyhounds Find Forever Homes

GPA-Louisville is a passionate organization dedicated to finding loving forever homes for retired racing Greyhounds in the Louisville, Kentucky area. We collaborate with local shelters and private owners to offer these gentle giants a second chance at a fulfilling life.

Our Mission

Our primary objective is to provide a platform where potential adopters can learn about the joys of adopting a Greyhound and connect with available dogs who are ready for their forever homes. We also work to advocate for the welfare of these beautiful animals and raise awareness about the unique needs of retired racing Greyhounds.

Our Services

• Adoption Assistance: We review applications and ensure suitable placements by interviewing potential adopters and understanding their lifestyles.
• Dog Profiles: Detailed information and captivating stories accompany each available Greyhound to help adopters make informed decisions.
• Community Outreach: We partner with local businesses and organizations to host events and elevate awareness about Greyhound adoption.
• Support & Resources: We offer guidance and ongoing support to new Greyhound owners, providing resources on training, nutrition, and veterinary care.
• Community Events: We regularly host adoption events and fundraising activities to engage the community and raise funds for our cause.

Why Choose a Greyhound?

Greyhounds are affectionate, gentle, and quiet animals that make wonderful companions. They are known for their affectionate nature, love for human interaction, and gentle temperaments. While they require some specific care considerations due to their athletic background, their exercise needs are manageable with regular short walks and playtime.
