About Us
Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest Mission Statement
The mission of Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest is to find responsible loving homes for
Greyhounds, which fail to qualify or no longer qualify for the
racetrack. Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest acquaints the public with the
desirability of Greyhounds as pets and informs them of the
availability of the dogs for adoption.
Most of the Greyhounds we
place in homes began their lives here in Oregon but we also accept
Greyhounds from any other state into our program. We accept
Greyhounds returned to animal shelters and those abandoned by their
owners. No Greyhound is turned away from Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest regardless of
age, injury or where it began it's life.
Who We Are
Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest is a non-profit corporation and a tax-exempt organization. It is part of a national network of Greyhound adoption groups that follow the highest standards for the care of Greyhounds and adoption procedures. Your donations to Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest are tax deductible and our Federal tax exemption number is available upon request by contacting our Treasurer.
Staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers; all
donations and other revenues are dedicated entirely to supporting
our Greyhound adoption program.
Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest welcomes volunteers from all
walks of life, regardless of whether they have adopted a Greyhound.
All that is required is a love of animals, and a willingness to
work.
Areas We Serve
Based in Portland Oregon with volunteers throughout Oregon and
Southern Washington, Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest serves Oregon,
Southern Washington and Northern California. We have Volunteer
groups established for events, adoptions and support in Portland,
Bend, Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford and Vancouver WA.
We can work with and support you in any area of Oregon and Southern
Washington.
If you would like Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest and the Greyhounds to come to your
area, please contact us and let us know where you live. We have
volunteers in many areas and we have a special program called Hounds
Out & About that brings Greyhounds and trained placement volunteers
to meet the public.
