“Our mission is to find loving homes for rescued dogs, mostly racetrack greyhounds, but also non-racers and greyhound mixes. Our goal is to save as many dogs as we can while maintaining a quality program focused on each individual dog and prospective adopters' needs. To this end, we serve as advocates for each person adopting and each dog welcomed into their home as family.”

“Shelter and adoption program: we save dogs discarded by the dog racing industry. Once the dogs have gone through our extensive medical regimen which includes a complete workup from blood tests and vaccinations to neutering/spaying and dentistry then the dogs are available for adoption. We want to ensure that adoptive families receive healthy pets and we take the adoption process even further by helping adopters choose a well-matched dog who best suits their lifestyle and their needs. We take care to evaluate each dog, creating a profile that we then complement with an adopter's profile, which has been prepared by a trained volunteer. We operate an adoption center that houses 50 dogs. We keep the air conditioning running during the hot san diego summers, and we keep the dogs warm in the winter. Our facility is licensed, clean and well-maintained; our dogs are secure and comfortable. We manage expenses in a professional, businesslike manner.”
