National Greyhound Adoption Program

Animal shelter in Philadelphia, PA

National Greyhound Adoption Program was founded in Philadelphia, PA in 1989. Our main goals are, and always have been to help find loving, adoptive homes for former racing greyhound dogs, to provide superior knowledge and support for greyhound dog adopters and other adoption groups, to educate the public and spread awareness about the plight of the greyhound, and to provide specialized medical care specifically geared towards the greyhound. Due to the recent fall of the greyhound racing industry, we have switched our focus to helping salukis, saluki mixes, wadi dogs and other sight hounds from the Middle East.
