Adopt – Connecticut Greyhound Adoption

***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 applies to 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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adopting a retired racing Greyhound through Connecticut Greyhound Adoption is a simple process. Potential adopters must fill out a CGA Adoption Application which may be completed online or the applicant may download the form (click here to download), complete and mail the application form to us. Please note that downloading the form and mailing it in will result in a delay in the adoption process. To ensure your application is attended to in a timely manner, we suggest using the online application.

Adoption applicants will be contacted by a CGA representative and a meeting will be scheduled during which any of the applicant's questions may be answered. The adopter's preferences in a Greyhound will be discussed along with a review of available hounds so that a compatible match between hound and home can be made.

Before filling out your application please keep in mind that this is a 10-12 year commitment on your part. Everyone in the household needs to be in agreement that adding a greyhound is the right decision. If you or someone in your family is still on the fence, stop by one of our events and see some greys up close. Ask us questions at the event, our volunteers love to talk about their greys. We ask that once you fill out an application you initially work with us and have thought this through. This prevents different groups from doubling their efforts and volunteers from becoming discouraged. We look forward to working with you.

Effective May 1, 2022 CGA's Adoption Fee will be $950.

I am interested in adopting a retired racing greyhound and certify that I have answered all questions honestly and to the best of my ability. I understand that greyhounds are sight hounds and must be kept on a leash or in a secure, fully fenced area when outside. I also understand that greyhounds are strictly house dogs and are not suited to outside living. If I adopt a greyhound and am unable to keep the dog for any reason, I will return the dog to Connecticut Greyhound Adoption-GPA. Please re-enter your name to verify you have read and agree to abide by the agreement*
CGA/GPA reserves the right to deny an application at any point during the process.
