Greyhound Pets of America - Houston is celebrating Adopt a Greyhound Month in April.
Over 100,000 greyhounds have been adopted by GPA National and its nearly 40 chapters across the country.April marks a special time for Greyhound Pets of America – Houston as they celebrate Adopt a Greyhound Month. Spearheaded by dedicated members like Heather Conn from the Adoption Committee and supported by the leadership of GPA-Houston’s Board of Directors, including Amy Bradford and Cindy Crochet, the organization aims to raise awareness about the adoption of retired racing greyhounds.
GPA-Houston’s adoption process connects greyhounds with loving families through an online questionnaire and a phone interview with volunteers. “Due to their unique upbringing as professional athletes, they typically arrive crate-trained, socialized with other large dogs, and used to being handled,” Conn shared. “Most greyhounds are quiet as they don’t bark often, are affectionate and eager to please.”Greyhounds need a lot of exercise.Nicknamed one of the world’s fastest couch potatoes, greyhounds are sprinters with short bursts of energy who enjoy a long nap afterward . Often a daily walk will satisfy thier daily exercise needs.
