Connecticut Greyhound Adoption - GPA is a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is to find permanent, loving homes for retired racing greyhounds. To fulfill this mission, our goals are threefold: to inform and educate the public about the joys of greyhound adoption; to identify suitable, caring homes for retired racers; and, to provide pre- and post-adoption support to facilitate the transition from track to home. CGA endeavors to work cooperatively with the greyhound racing industry to help as many greyhounds as possible, including special needs dogs.
Adopting a retired racing Greyhound through Connecticut Greyhound Adoption is a simple process. Potential adopters must fill out a CGA Adoption Application which may be completed online or the applicant may download the form, complete and mail the application form to us. Please note that downloading the form and mailing it in will result in a delay in adoption process. To ensure your application is attended to in a timely manner, we suggest using the online application. Adoption applicants will be contacted by a CGA representative and a meeting will be scheduled during which any of the applicant's questions may be answered. The adopter's preferences in a Greyhound will be discussed along with a review of available hounds so that a compatible match between hound and home can be made. Before filling out your application please keep in mind that this is a 10-12 year commitment on your part. Everyone in the household needs to be in agreement that adding a greyhound is the right decision. If you or someone in your family is still on the fence, stop by one of our events and see some greys up close. Ask us questions at the event, our volunteers love to talk about their greys. We ask that once you fill out an application you initially work with us and have thought this through. This prevents different groups from doubling their efforts and volunteers from becoming discouraged. We look forward to working with you. Effective February 1, 2019 CGA's Adoption Fees will be $400. The adoption fee for a dog that graduates from the prison program is $500.
