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, complete and mail the application form to us. Please note that downloading the form and mailing it in will result in a delay in 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.
Due to increasing costs of vet care, food, and gas we must unfortunately increase our adoption fee.
Effective February 1, 2008 CGA's Adoption Fees with be:
Retired Greyhound Direct from track - $275
Retired Greyhound from Foster Home - $300
