GPALV Greyhound Adoption

About our Logo

Our double flowing greyhound logo was designed by commission by artist Jesse E. Christensen of Maple Valley, Washington. We wanted our logo to show not only the strength and speed of a greyhound but also their graceful spirit. We feel that he captured the heart of a retired racer in the logo design. Mr. Christensen designed our logo free of charge, donating both his time and talent to GPALV

Greyhound Pet Adoption Las Vegas

Our group is operated by volunteers and is funded solely by donations. We need your help to continue the work we are doing to place these retired racing Greyhounds into loving homes. Some of the expenses we need help with are general veterinary care and injury repairs, food, medications, transportation & grooming supplies.
Henderson WinterFest Parade 2012 was the best yet. About 30 retired greyhounds paraded down Water Street to an adoring crowd. In the photo, GPALV Treasurer Mary Behnke and her boy Phin on the bench with GPALV Senior Foster YaYa Minardi riding along.

GPALV is growing and working on continuing to raise awareness about ex-racing greyhounds as pets. We are expanding our Meet and Greets to include PETCO! We are still introducing retired greyhounds at our PetsMart meet and greets but we are now conducting meet and greets at PETCO. Please see our EVENTS page for info on our Henderson and Blue Diamond PETCO meet and greets. We would love to have you drop in with your greyhounds.
