More information about GAPSA (Greyhound Adoption Program Sa)

The GREYHOUND ADOPTION PROGRAM is a non profit organization created by greyhound lovers dedicated to finding homes for greyhounds whose racing careers have ended. Although countless greyhounds become available for adoption each year, there are not enough people interested in having them as pets. Due to the fact that they are sight hounds and are aroused by the passion of the chase, people think they are aggressive. Up until July of 2004 GAP greyhounds were required by law to wear a muzzle in public but this is no longer so. GAP greyhounds are now required to wear an identifying green collar that is supplied to the greyhound when it is adopted. Actually greyhounds are friendly, affectionate, gentle, good natured dogs. It is one of GAP's main goals to change the widespread negative image of greyhounds. Through a more positive image, GAP hopes to increase the public's desire to care for these pets after their racing careers have finished. The greyhounds available through GAP are desexed, wormed, vaccinated and heartworm tested. A lead, collar and rug for cold weather are provided. An adoption fee exists only to cover these costs. More importantly, they can give as much, if not more affection than they receive. Similar programs have been highly successful in the USA, UK and, more recently in many states of Australia. It is our hope that GAP can improve the image of these beautiful dogs and find loving homes that will bring happiness to both owners and pets.
