Golden State Greyhound Adoption began in September of 2002. We have grown since then by expanding our outreach and placement services into many more communities. We currently serve the greater San Francisco Bay Area, South to Carmel, Sacramento, the Valley areas and beyond. Golden State Greyhound Adoption (G.S.G.A.) is an independent, California registered charity 501(c)3 and is not governed by any other entity. Your generous cash and in-kind donations are tax deductible. We exist to educate the public on the plight of the retired racing greyhound in order to find great homes for former-racing greyhounds.
1. The first step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which gives the adoption coordinator an idea of your lifestyle and accommodations for the dog; 2. Once the questionnaire is processed the adoption coordinator will contact you to arrange a home visit. The purpose of the home visit is to insure the dog's new environment will be safe and secure. This is another good opportunity to ask any questions you may have. We welcome any questions you might have. 3. Once your application has been approved we will do our best to select and place a greyhound in your home that best matches your lifestyle and profile. 4. There is an ownership contract to sign, and a one-time Adoption Fee of $300.00. This non-refundable fee reimburses us in-part for costs for the following services: Spay or Neuter; Comprehensive health exam; Vaccinations: Rabies, DHPP; Dental exam and cleaning; Worming; Grooming; Temperament profiling and cat-testing; Adoption training manuals; Titer, SNAP and Heartworm Tests.
