NOTICE: Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak in our area
UPDATE 6/28/21: Our area's COVID-19 threat level remains at Yellow (Stay Vigilant unless Fully Vaccinated) which is good news regarding the pandemic. However, because there is still a large number of unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people in the area, The Noble Center remains closed to the general public. Appointments may be held inside the adoption room at The Noble Center for groups of four or less. For everyone's protection, we will continue to require masks and social distancing. There are no restrictions on home visits, which can be done either in-person or virtually depending on the applicant's home location. Continuing our mission has been challenging, but we strive to do our best each day for the benefit of the hounds in our program.
If you have any questions, please call the kennel office at 832-813-8419 or email us. Thank you again for your understanding, and please stay safe.

2020 Angel List and Memory Book
GPAH sends its condolences to all families who lost a hound in 2020. At the end of the year, we publish the angel list from that year. This posting sometimes reminds us that a page in the Memory Book would be the perfect way to honor the memory of a greyhound angel. To see the 2020 Angel List, please click here.
GPAH has created a memory album for all greyhound angels. The original Memory Book can be viewed at the kennel office, but an online version can be found here.
If you have an angel for whom you would like a special memorial page created, please contact us for details on what is needed.
Greyhounds have a huge impact in their adopters' lives, and it shows in these lovely memorials.
