About CGA


 
 

Colorado Greyhound Adoption is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to finding permanent loving homes for and promoting the adoption and welfare of retired racing greyhounds as excellent family pets.

Based in the metropolitan Denver area, our volunteer base continues to grow, as more and more greyhound enthusiasts become involved. Our group maintains a racing neutral stance.

There are several greyhound adoption organizations in Colorado. A few factors that distinguish the groups are: Adoption Process, Sponsorship, Group Support, and Fostering Approach

2024 Colorado Gives

Colorado Gives Day - December 10th

This year’s Colorado Gives Day is December 10th, but you don’t have to wait until then — you can donate RIGHT NOW!!! This is the perfect time to give back to Colorado Greyhound Adoption and help retired racing greyhounds find their forever homes. Whether it’s a spay/neuter, dental, vaccinations, or something more serious like an MRI, or surgery, we never want to turn away a greyhound from the medical care it needs because of a lack of funds. Help us raise our goal of $25,000 in 2024! We can’t do it without you!

Boost your donation! Every donation received between November 1, 2024 through Colorado Gives Day (December 10, 2024), will be boosted with a $1M+ Incentive Fund, made possible by Colorado Gives Foundation and FirstBank. Each nonprofit will receive a share of the fund based on their percentage of the total raised. Please spread the word on all of the wonderful things Colorado Greyhound Adoption does for retired racing greyhounds and donate now!


URGENT - WE NEED FOSTERS!!!

We have greyhounds coming in!

We have retired racers coming in November and December and we need foster families.

Without foster families, we cannot bring in greyhounds for adoption!

Just imagine not being able to adopt one of these wonderful greyhounds because there are no foster families?

Fostering greyhounds plays a crucial role in helping these retired racing dogs transition into family pets, acclimating the hounds to home life. 

So what does it take  become a foster family?

You must complete a Foster Application, followed by a home visit from a CGA representative. Once approved, CGA provides necessary supplies and vet care--you provide the love, care, and home.

You will work with a dedicated foster coordinator, who will help answer questions, along with access to a google group made up with other foster families. 

Questions? Contact info@greyhoundadoption.com

New CGA Amazon Wish List!

Donate Food for Fosters!

Now you can help CGA in a different way! With all of the greyhounds coming in to CGA, our foster hounds need food! Donating foster food is fast (like a greyhound) and easy. Click on the button below to see CGA’s Amazon Wish List. Select the food you’d like to donate from our list. It will be shipped to one of our coordinators. We all know how sensitive greyhound tummies can be, so we’ve made it easy by limiting the number of options. Please donate now!

At checkout you will see a shipping address option listed as "Morgan Fields' Gift Registry Address". Please select that one.

 

Spotlight: Meet Buddy

"A true friend is for ever a friend." — George MacDonald

Are you looking for a friend?  Well, I’ll be your buddy!  For real, my name is Buddy!

I’m a 4 and half year old male lurcher.  I love people.  I’m energetic and I love to go on daily walks.  I’m a gentleman on lead and I do not pull.   I’m food motivated and I like to learn new tricks when treats are involved!

I get along with dogs of all sizes, currently I’m the only dog in my foster home, but I’ve been in homes with other greyhounds and a mid-sized terrier and I’ve been just fine.  Initially muzzled while meeting dogs and playing is recommended. (But that’s a best practice for any type of dog introduction).

I don’t show any separation anxiety being alone.  I am not cat safe and I need a home without children. 

Currently, I have access to a backyard through a dog door, and I love being outside.  An apartment or condo would not be ideal for me.  A single family home, townhome, or patio home with access to a yard would be perfect. 

Buddy was relinquished back to CGA for a bite incident in his previous home.  Buddy was seen by a behaviorist and determined that he has the potential to really thrive in the right setting.  His love of people and friendliness are definitely pros.  He has had no other signs or incidents of aggression in his foster home since coming back to CGA in October 2023.

If you are looking for a dog who will join you on adventures, explore the city or mountains, love you unconditionally, then I’ll be your best buddy!

If you are interested in meeting Buddy, let your adoption counselor know or if you don’t have an adoption counselor, fill out our online adoption application!  Let us know if you have any questions about this handsome boy!
