Because Adopt a Greyhound Atlanta, Inc. receives no funds from any state, county, or other governmental agency, it is only through our adoption fees and the generous donations of time, money, and services that we have been able to achieve the placement of 4000+ Greyhounds in the nearly 30 years of our existence.

We are a no-kill shelter. That means that any Greyhound that is not adoptable for whatever reason lives out its life with us. Between our permanent residents and the adoptable dogs, we care daily for about two dozen dogs. Our costs include shelter, food, vaccinations, spaying/neutering, heartworm tests and other veterinary care, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, medicines, and transportation, not to mention general operating costs such as licensing fees, and office and kennel supplies.

Thus, donations are an important factor in our ongoing ability to keep rescuing these gentle, graceful animals. There is no gift that is too small. And many companies offer matching funds for employee contributions.
