UPCOMING EVENTS & NEWS
Friends- We have greyt news!
CT Greyhound Adoption was chosen as Stop & Shop's Community Bag Program Beneficiary for the month of December!
How it works: For every reusable bag you purchase for $2.50 at the Branford Stop & Shop location, CGA will receive $1.00.
Please go and get your bag beginning December 1st. Also, please tell your friends and family, especially those who live in or near Branford, to get their bag that benefits the greyhounds so that CGA can continue to find loving homes for as many retired racing greyhounds as possible. We very much appreciate you and your support!
During this time of Thanksgiving celebration, our thoughts turn gratefully to you, our CGA family, with wholehearted appreciation.
We want to wish all of you and all of the greyhounds a very warm and
Happy Thanksgiving.
*We asked AI (artificial intelligence) to render a painting when prompted to draw a, "watercolor painting of a greyhound sitting in an autumnal landscape looking at wild turkeys" and this is what it came up with. We hope you enjoy!
***Adoption Fee Update***
Due to the decline in the number of greyhounds available in the US, we are now looking to Ireland as a second source for dogs. Consequently, our transportation fees have increased significantly requiring us to increase our adoption fee to $950. The new fee will take effect for any application received on or after May 1st 2022.

NOTICE 10/17/2021- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
WE ARE ONCE AGAIN UPDATING OUR POLICY. WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FROM PEOPLE IN CT WITH CURRENT OR PREVIOUS GREYHOUND OR LARGE DOG EXPERIENCE. IF YOU LIVE IN RI, YOU MUST HAVE ADOPTED FROM FROM CGA IN THE PAST
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "Celebrating Greyhounds 2023 Calendar" will be published this Fall and some of our own CGA hounds will be featured (it is a secret for now). We are very proud of this and will announce when the calendars will be available for sale. A portion of the proceeds will go to CGA.
