Florida Amendment 13

With the passing of Amendment 13, the mission of Greyhound Pets of America Emerald Coast (GPAEC) remains the same: to find responsible loving homes for greyhounds, to acquaint the public with the desirability of greyhounds as pets, and to provide information about the availability of greyhounds for adoption.

We will work with track personnel and other greyhound adoption organizations to find homes for all the greyhounds displaced by Amendment 13.

If you would like to help us in our mission, we will need qualified adopters and foster homes, and financial support is always welcome. You can apply to become a foster, or donate towards placements costs, food, medicine or medical care. Your support is vital to moving as many retired racing greyhounds to forever homes we can.

There are greyhounds at the local track who will need homes as they retire. We have not been told when the track may close, but we’re already working with our partners to implement a plan of action. Once we find placements for local greyhounds, we will reach out to other tracks in Florida to offer our support and assistance.
