Greyhound Pets of America is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation founded in 1987 for the purpose of finding homes for ex-racing greyhounds and educating the public on the suitability and availability of greyhounds as pets. Greyhound Pets of America Minnesota (GPA MN) is a Twin Cities based volunteer run organization, dedicated to rescuing and placing retired racing greyhounds.

​

100% of our greyhounds live in foster homes where they can acclimate to their new lives as retired racers. This process helps us to better understand the personality of each dog so that we can make the best possible match with their new family. We test each greyhound to see if they can live with small animals, and many of our fosters go on to live in families with other pets, including cats. We have great success in matching our hounds and families through our foster process.

$450 adoption fee, application, personal interview, personal references, match with suitable hound, applicant meets hound, adoption contract and conditions of ownership signed for adoption. Adoption fee is non-refundable.
