About

GPA Greater NW is a non profit 501(c)3 organization, dedicated to placing retired racing Greyhounds into homes through out the Greater Northwest. We are an all volunteer organization, our primary focus is the care and placement of all Greyhounds, regardless of age, colors or even in some cases medical needs into the right loving forever homes. GPA Greater NW transports Greyhounds from racing tracks and breed farms all over the United States. Prior to adoption, all Greyhounds are placed into foster homes with our volunteers, where their personalities are evaluated to determine which dogs are suitable as only pets or for homes that may have children or other small and large pets. Great care is taken to match the right Greyhound with the right home environment. All Greyhounds are spayed or neutered; vaccinated (including rabies); treated for ticks, fleas, worms; had their teeth cared for and given a thorough physical examination by a veterinarian. Our volunteers have years of experience with Greyhounds as well as being Greyhound owners themselves.

Adoption process

If adopters have a yard, it must be fenced. Invisible fences are not acceptable. Adopters understand that greyhounds are house dogs and family members. They are not to be kept outside or shut away from the family inside the house. Adopters understand that retired racing greyhounds MUST BE KEPT ON LEASH AT ALL TIMES unless in a controlled situation such as their home or a fully fenced area. Adopters understand that for the first few weeks, the Greyhound needs to be let out halfway through the day if the family is away from home all day. Adopters must understand that it takes three months on average for the dog to be totally settled into its new home and routine, and must be willing to be patient with the dog for this period. Once you have been pre-approved for adoption by a GPAGNW representative they will work diligently to help you choose the right Greyhound for your lifestyle and family, as well as offer continued support once a Greyhound has been placed into your home
