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.
Sad News to Report
It is with much sadness that we must notify everyone that Bud Thompson passed away on April 2. His dedication to GPA-AZ was a real blessing. He and Jan fostered many Greyhounds. Jan would like to acknowledge and thank all who attended the memorial service for Bud and those made donations in his memory. He meant a lot to many people and dogs alike. We'll miss you Bud!!!
