Phoenix
Greyhound Adoption
The first step in adopting a Greyhound is filling out an application.
In order to determine which dog will fit best in your home, we will
need to call you with some questions about your lifestyle and home.
After that we will schedule a home visit with a dog or two that we
think will work best. If you are nervous about adopting at first or
have a fear of commitment, let us know and we can set you up in the
foster program. This is a great way to get a feel for the dogs before
you make the big decision.

 Deb Jackson-Grey is one of adopters and has been looking for an opportunity to do this fundraiser for us. You don't need to attend the party to order and support GPA-AZ during this time of high influx of adoptable greyhounds due to the closing of the Phoenix Greyhound Park. But if you can make it we'd love to have you join the party.

Experience a Week at a Greyhound Kennel
This page provides some great insight as to what it is like to work at a Greyhound kennel. Two women spent a week at Wonderland Kennel and shared details of daily life.
On a visit to the Dorsey Kennels, Shari McManigal, one of our GPA volunteers, fell in love with this blue brindle little boy that didn't even have a name yet. Well, the dog's owner, Monte, was so touched by the love between these two, that he told Shari she could name the puppy. The name she picked (because he is a blue brindle) is "Vincent Can Go." Congratulations, Shari!
