RETIRED NOT RESCUED
Racing Greyhounds do not need rescuing. When they retire, racing greyhounds are ready to be adopted and settle in to their forever homes. Please respect these highly trained athletes for their accomplishments and don’t refer to a racing greyhound as needing to be rescued. They need to be adopted.

THE GREYHOUND INMATE EXPERIENCE (TGIE)
Greyhound Welfare is pleased to announce we are participating with The Greyhound Inmate Experience to bring retired racing greyhounds into our foster program. TGIE places retired racing greyhounds in the care and supervision of specially selected and trained inmates of a correctional institution. The greyhounds and inmates engage in a 10 week training program. The greyhounds transition from racer to pet. The inmates experience unconditional love and learn to trust, to be patient and to become compassionate. To learn more about TGIE please click HERE
