Linda Ann's Greyhound Adoption, Inc.

Linda Ann's Greyhound Adoption, Inc. is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization registered as a 501(c)3 charity. It is dedicated to the welfare of retired racing greyhounds, with its operations primarily focused in and around the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania.

Mission and Activities

The organization's mission is to find permanent homes for as many retired greyhounds as possible. To achieve this, each dog is first placed in a foster home where it learns to adapt to a domestic environment. This preparation helps ensure a smooth transition for both the greyhound and the adopting family. The organization provides comprehensive support and education to adopters throughout the adoption process.

History

Linda Ann's Greyhound Adoption, Inc. was founded by Linda Ann in December 2001. Following her passing in January 2010, the organization continues her legacy by remaining committed to finding homes for retired racing greyhounds.

Services and Support

The adoption process includes various services such as spaying or neutering, dental cleaning, basic vaccinations, heartworm testing, and provision of a martingale collar and leash. These services are included in the adoption fee, which is typically $750.

Community Engagement

The organization regularly participates in local events to raise awareness about greyhound adoption and to support related community needs. For instance, they collaborate with other organizations to assist with foster homes and blood donations for animals in need.
