Welcome to GPA-Louisville!

Are you thinking about adopting a dog?  We’d love to talk to you about making a retired racing Greyhound a part of your family.

Greyhounds are clean, quiet and docile.  Most are fine living with other canine breeds and many get along well with cats.  Retired racers make wonderful household pets and companions but they are strictly inside pets.  They make excellent walking companions and most are great with well behaved children.

*** Coming Soon ***

An Australian Greyhound organization has contacted GPA-Louisville and asked our group to help by bringing 4 Greyhounds to the states. The plan is to receive the dogs on or around March 1, 2024 in Mississippi.

In order for this to be a successful event, we are looking for foster homes. All veterinarian work will be completed before travel. These dogs are featured below with an Australian flag on their picture

We are still continuing to work with the West Virginia track to transition Greyhounds into retirement from there as well.

If you are unable to foster, but know someone who may be interested, please share this web site with them. They will need to fill out the foster application and have a home visit. Please review the page on becoming a foster. Fostering for GPA Louisville

Again this is a GREYT opportunity to help the Australian dogs.

• Personality wise he is very sweet, shy at first but quick to warm up to people. In the house he is very chill for a young dog - likes to find a comfy spot and lounge for hours but also enjoys his morning zoomies. He also loves lounging on the deck/backyard.

• Good with children - we have a two year old he’s been great with.

• Good with other dogs big and small. Not sure about cats we haven’t met one yet.

• House training great - has only had one accident when we first got him.

• Great in a crate. Sleeps in his crate all night and is crated and quiet when we’re gone. Occasionally chooses to go in there on his own sometimes as well to nap.

• Good with leash walks. Still gets a little spooked with loud cars but has gained a lot of confidence since we first got him.

• Loads up and rides in the car super well.
Sweet Tea- "Thera"Sweet 4 year old girl. Doesn't like getting in a car but gets in a van just fine. She appears to be "cat safe," but depends on the cat.
