• We endeavor to know as much about each and every dog that we adopt out.
• 'Our' dogs are cat and kid "tested".
• All greyhounds adopted from GPA Houston have been spayed or neutered, had their teeth cleaned if required (necessary in almost all cases), are current on their vaccinations (including rabies, DHLPP, and bordetella), have been tested for heartworms and are on preventative, and have been dewormed.  GPA Houston orders presurgical blood work on all the dogs in our care.  The adopter will receive copies of all records of medical treatment of the greyhound while at GPA.    If the greyhound is due for heartworm preventative within one week of the date of adoption, the adopter will be given a preventative tablet.
• All greyhounds are tested for tick-borne diseases (and treated before ready for adoption)
• Our greyhounds go into their new homes with:

  • A special greyhound collar and matching leash

  • A greyhound muzzle

  • Renowned dog behaviorist Patricia McConnell’s booklet Leader of the Pack

  • An excellent dog training DVD

  • A GPA numbered ID tag identifying  imprinted with our emergency number

  • GPA adoption manual

• Most of 'our' dogs have been in foster programs--which enable us to learn more about the dog and it's own characteristics--in turn, this allows us to find a better fit for your family.
