Our Mission:
Greyhound Pets of America/CA-Orange County and Greater Los Angeles is
dedicated to finding kind, loving homes for every greyhound retiring from
the Caliente Race Track in Tijuana.
What we do:
We have a single purpose - to “rescue” racing greyhounds when their track careers are finished and find each one an adoptive home where they can experience long, happy lives as companion pets and family members.
We have been doing this since October 1995 and are approaching finding homes for 3,000 ex-racing greyhounds.
How we do it:
We are an all volunteer, non-profit, charitable 501(c)(3) organization with no paid or salaried positions. We accomplish our goal through the dedication of a wonderful group of hard-working volunteers devoted to helping ex-racing greyhounds achieve a happy post-racing life. Backing up our volunteers is a group of loyal supporters who participate in our varied fundraising efforts.
“Show & Tell” demonstrations are our main method of spreading the word about greyhounds as pets. Most people have never seen a greyhound in person and a “Show & Tell” opportunity enables them to meet greyhounds, chat with enthusiastic greyhound owners, and consider whether greyhounds are the right pet for their own family. It’s a treat for the greyhounds, their visitors and their owners!
