About Greyhound Connections
Greyhound Connections is a volunteer run, not-for-profit charity dedicated to finding forever homes for retired, rescued and non-racing greyhounds. We work with anyone needing to find a new home for a greyhound, including individuals, pet owners, pounds, and greyhound breeders, trainers and owners. We are proud of the positive working relationships we have developed with greyhound breeders, trainers and owners, and our work with them to re-home their retired and non-racing greyhounds with best-suited adoptive families. Breeders, trainers and owners have vast experience and knowledge of each greyhound's history, including their behaviour, upbringing, likes and dislikes, and medical history. We aim to connect adoptive families with the greyhound's breeder, trainer or owner so that the knowledge can be shared, as well as the breeder, trainer or owner being able to follow the greyhound's journey into pet life. We are proud to have re-homed hundreds of greyhounds since our inception in 2016, and look forward to continue helping all greyhounds in the future.
Our stance on greyhound racing
We are neither pro-racing nor anti-racing - we are pro-greyhound. We prefer not to get involved in the greyhound racing debate but rather dedicate our time and efforts to helping greyhounds find their perfect homes. We maintain positive working relationships with greyhound breeders, trainers and owners, and with the greyhound industry, as we have found that working with industry is more beneficial and has better outcomes for greyhounds during and after their racing careers.
The greyhound breeders, trainers and owners we work with treat their dogs with the utmost care and love. However, there have been some documented cases of cruelty and inappropriate practices in the greyhound racing industry in Australia. Not all people do the right thing when it comes to animal welfare and we encourage anyone to report acts of animal cruelty to the police.
