No Grey Turned Away

In 2001, John and Susie McQuade began the journey to find homes for retired racing greyhounds, sighthounds and sighthound mixes.  Since the founding of Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, Inc. (GALT), over 4,000 hounds have been placed as a result…and the placements continue to grow.  GALTx is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation headquartered in Dallas and has several Chapters and volunteers who make greyhound adoption possible across the United States.

The Arizona Chapter operates with a team of volunteers with a long history of successful greyhound placements and now focuses on adoptions in Arizona, California, Utah, Nevada and New Mexico.  We connect with other adoption groups and people who assist and adopt sighthounds to promote adoption worldwide.

GALT FAQ

  • GALT receives greyhounds from different sources: breeders, trainers, shelters, strays and owner releases. Sometimes the greys are delivered to GALT, but mostly volunteers go to pick them up. These trips average anywhere from one to five hours in length, one way. If you’re interested in helping transport greyhounds, check out our volunteer page.

  • We place owner release greyhounds and greyhounds who are sick or injured straight into foster homes. Other greyhounds we receive are initially processed, and then wait in an area boarding kennel until they can be medically processed and moved into a foster home. Our goal is to have every greyhound in a foster home as soon as possible. If you’re interested in fostering a GALT greyhound, check out our fostering page.

    Greyhounds may stay at VCA Preston Park Animal Hospital or GALT’s leased kennel in Carrollton until a foster home is available. If you’re interested in helping bathe or walk dogs at the boarding facilities we use before the dogs are moved to foster homes, check out our volunteer page.

  • Yes, GALT is a completely volunteer run, 501(c)3 charity. We rely solely on donations and grants for our funding.

  • GALT was founded in 2001 by John and Susie McQuade.

  • As of 2021, GALT has helped over 3,900 greyhounds find homes, either through direct adoptions or helping to move greyhounds to other adoption organizations around the country. Approximately 30% of the greyhounds in GALT’s care need more than standard medical processing. GALT averages about 150 adoptions a year.

  • GALT takes a neutral stance on greyhound racing. We are neither for nor against it, this allows us to work closely with the racing industry to directly improve the prospects of ex-racing greyhounds.
