American Greyhound/Great Lakes, Inc. is a 501c3 not-for-profit
corporation, dedicated to finding homes for retired racing
greyhounds. Our volunteers rescue racers when they are no longer
of value at the racetrack, provide the necessary vet care, teach them
what it means to live in a home as a companion animal, and find
them good homes where they are able to live out their lives.
