Greyhound Advancement Center

Additional adoption info

The Greyhound Advancement Center (GAC) works closely with greyhound adoption groups to find loving and qualified homes for the Greyhounds and enhance the adoption process through our value added programs. GAC allows greyhound adoption groups to sponsor dogs being placed in obedience training programs (prison, truancy, corporate, etc.) for adoption. We facilitate the placement of greyhounds through training and deliver obedience trained greyhounds to the community. As the inmate trainers develop experience, we will provide service dog training for specialized tasks. Some public access training may be provided through work release programs and/or volunteers in the community.
Provide a network of prison foster homes for greyhounds including temporary housing, when necessary. This may be beneficial during seasonal track closings, for greyhounds that have been returned, or just while waiting to find their forever home. Greyhound prison Boot Camp will allow greyhounds to refresh their skills. We welcome all greyhounds into boot camp, regardless of whether they have participated in obedience training programs in the past or not. This is an ideal option for greyhound owners when they are travelling and need to board their greyhound. Once the program is fully established, we will consider welcoming other breeds into Boot Camp.
