The Great Give – 36-hour Giving Event

For the third consecutive year, Connecticut Greyhound Adoption is pleased to participate in The Great Give! The Great Give 2023 will be held on May 3-4!  Click here to donate.

Since the inception of Connecticut Greyhound Adoption in 2005, our all-volunteer organization has placed close to 1,100 greyhounds into their forever homes. We have been able to sustain our operations and fulfill our mission in the face of COVID and with the closure of greyhound racing tracks in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and most recently Iowa. The closures in the U.S. left adoption groups with fewer opportunities to get dogs.

Last year CGA learned of the many greyhounds in Ireland that are waiting to have a family and place of their own, which is why we are bringing as many greyhounds across the ocean to CGA as we can afford. CGA has a wonderful opportunity to help them find loving homes and at the same time meet the requests from adopters here in the U.S. In addition to the greyhounds from West Virginia, we were pleased to find homes for 18 Irish hounds in 2022 and we will increase that number this year.

While this is good news, expenses for transportation and vetting continue to escalate. We are also faced with costs related to hounds that may need special care or those that need to be rehomed. We are always working to come up with creative and fun ways to raise funds, however we are still in great need of your help. Please make a gift today to help these transports happen and give these dogs the new lives they deserve here in the U.S.

Please donate during The Great Give…and share our story with friends and family. As always…thank you so much for your support!

P.S.: The Great Give 2023 is the perfect time to donate as we have the opportunity to receive a portion of a $10,000 match from The Konopacke Fund. The more we raise ourselves the higher a proportion we will receive of the match!
