Greyhound Care and Adoption of North Carolina - Giving retired racers a new leash on life

3 days ago2 min read

Greyhound Care and Adoption of North Carolina (GCA-NC) is joining us for their first ever Spring Fling! They are a group of greyhound enthusiasts who love retired racing greyhounds and work hard to find them the best homes possible. GCA-NC specializes in retired racing greyhounds from Ireland and England since there are so many of them in need of homes.

Their mission is simple: to ensure every greyhound finds a loving home and receives the care they deserve. GCA-NC may have been recently established (2024), but their passion for greyhounds spans decades. Their board members and volunteers have dedicated years to caring for and advocating for this remarkable dog breed. With their immense experience in greyhound care and adoption, GCA-NC is committed to providing support to both current greyhound owners and those looking to welcome a greyhound into their family.

"Our greyhound adoption process is designed to match you with the perfect dog that fits your lifestyle and home. By choosing to adopt, you're not only giving a retired racing greyhound a loving forever home but also making space for more dogs to be cared for."

GCA-NC believes in the power of community and collaboration. They strive to create a network of resources and shared knowledge that enhances the well-being of all sighthounds. They also support and endorse relationships with organizations and groups that practice humane and ethical treatment of their dogs. GCA-NC's focus is to:

Provide retired racing greyhounds a path to adoption into caring homes
Ensure the health and welfare of these wonderful dogs
Educate the public about this breed as pets

This sweet girl was born on December 26, 2024, in one of Greyhound Care and Adoption of North Carolina’s (GCA-NC) partner kennels in the UK. Her owner has already chosen GCA-NC to help find her a loving home when she retires and, in a generous gesture, has given the organization the honor of naming her.

With each $5 donated through March 28, 2025, fill in your name suggestion for this little girl, or take advantage of bundled pricing to offer up more options.
