GCGA Adoption Application

THIS APPLICATION IS TO BE USED ONLY FOR GREYHOUND ADOPTION WITH GCGA-ORLANDO

Thank you for considering adopting a former racing Greyhound. We at Gold Coast Greyhound Adoptions Orlando (GCGA) feel strongly that these greyhounds, having worked hard for their owners and trainers, deserve to live out their lives after their racing careers in good homes.  We want our adopters to fully understand and appreciate the emotional, physical, and financial commitments of responsible pet ownership as it relates to Greyhound adoption. The following application is intended solely to aid both you and GCGA in deciding if you and your family are adequately prepared to provide the permanent home that we endeavor to find for our former racers.  Please be as complete and accurate as possible in filling out the application.

Please answer ALL QUESTIONS. If something does not apply to you, simply put "does not apply" or "N/A".
