Greyhound Adoption Center

Since 1986, the non-profit Greyhound Adoption Center (GAC) has found loving homes for nearly 6,000 retired racing greyhounds and greyhound-mixes from across the U.S. At its kennel near San Diego, Calif., up to 150 greyhounds a year are nurtured and rehabilitated on the way to finding forever homes. A network of 200+ volunteers help feed, bathe, exercise, and transport the dogs with some requiring extensive surgeries to repair injuries suffered on the racetrack.

GAC carries out adoptions in California and Nevada with the help of trained kennel staff and dedicated volunteers. Funded by generous grants, member dues and sponsor donations, we have grown to become one of the nation's largest greyhound-rescue organizations.
