Rehoming the greyhounds

Every racing industry greyhound will be cared for – every step of the way to their forever home.

We lead the Greyhound Rehoming Project – a coordinated, nationwide effort to match these special greyhounds with forever homes. We’re bringing experienced greyhound carers, rehoming experts and trusted adoption agencies together, and supporting them with resources and coordination, so our greyhounds find the right homes and get the right care and training while they wait.

Supporting the people

People in the greyhound racing industry will have support.

This change affects not only the greyhounds, but the people who have been part of the greyhound racing industry.

If you need support, we’re here to point you in the right direction – connecting you with the people, information and services you need to take your next step.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Closing the industry

The greyhound racing industry will be responsibly closed.

We’re working with the greyhound racing industry to oversee the closure. As racing ends, we’ll manage the industry’s assets and functions, so the wind-down is smooth, timely and effective.
