GALT FAQ
Where do GALT greyhounds come from?
GALT receives greyhounds from different sources: breeders, trainers, shelters, strays and owner releases. Most of the greys are delivered to GALT, others are picked up by volunteers. These trips average anywhere from one to five hours in length, one way. If you’re interested in helping transport greyhounds, check out our volunteer page.
Where do GALT greyhounds stay?
All greyhounds that come to GALT are placed directly into foster homes. If you’re interested in fostering a GALT greyhound, check out our fostering page.
