Help a Hound

There are so many ways that you can help a greyhound on its path from retirement to his or her forever home.  As a fair-sized kennel we are always in need of assistance with the dogs and gratefully accept any and all donations whether it be cash, time, or essential items. Please look below at the many ways you can assist the dogs in our care even if adopting or fostering is not an option at this time.

 

As most of you know, in light of “BIll 13”, we will be receiving an increase in female breeding greyhounds. These lovely senior hounds make wonderful pets. Because of their ages (7 and older) we don’t charge an adoption fee, however there are still costs involved. To help offset these costs we have started the “Red Collar Project”. For a $100.00 donation, the cost of the seniors transport, we will give a beautiful unique red collar and leash to the donor, designed solely for this project. This will help GPAC greatly with the associated costs.

To donate please message Rhonda Martins at fundraising@gpac.ca  

Thank You for your continued support.

 

 

Monthly Hound Sponsorship $30.00

Our Monthly Hound Sponsorship program is quite successful in helping cover the costs of new dogs arriving to the kennel. This sponsorship helps to offset the costs of their food, medical expenses, spay and neuter, and other incidentals. When a dog that has been sponsored and is adopted before the month’s end, the remaining donation goes to cover the cost of yet another hound still waiting for adoption. If you want to sponsor a specific dog please let us know.
