ONLINE APPLICATION

Greyhound Pets of Atlantic Canada (GPAC) is a registered non-profit organization
dedicated to the purpose of finding homes for retired racing greyhounds. If you are interested
in providing for one of these extraordinary creatures, please assist us in optimizing the placement process by furnishing the following information as honestly and completely as possible. You will be contacted for a home visit as soon as possible. Thank you for you
interest in these wonderful pets.

The Fine Print:

Greyhounds must be considered "house dogs". They are comfortable where you are comfortable. In addition to the fact that most communities now have leash laws, you need
to reconcile yourself to providing a fenced yard or walking the dog on a lead. Greyhound Pets
of Atlantic Canada spays or neuters and provides a variety of vaccinations, dental scaling, full tick panel test, and other preventative measures prior to placement. However, we suggest that you discuss the special needs of Greyhounds with your veterinarian. Please provide the name and phone number of your vet and, if possible, a letter of reference form him or her. If you do not have a vet, ask any GPAC representative for suggestions. As with most non-profit organizations, we depend on the generosity of people such as yourself. In the interest of the Greyhounds, we ask for a minimum donation of $275.00 payable when you receive the dog. This price not only includes the spaying / neutering, dental scaling, full tick panel test, and vaccinations but also an adoption kit with a handbook, collar, muzzle, and one bag of food. We also provide full support training and behaviour consultation to help your new family member adapt in their new home. When we provide a dog, we incur considerable expenses and as such, your adoption donation is non-refundable.
