About Us
At Maine Greyhound Placement Services, we are dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for retired racing greyhounds. Our mission is to connect these beautiful animals with their forever homes, ensuring they receive the care and love they deserve. We operate from our facility in Augusta, Maine, where we offer a range of services designed to support the well-being of both the greyhounds and our community.
Our Services
We provide comprehensive care for retired racing greyhounds, including adoption, veterinary care, and boarding. Our team is committed to expertly matching each hound with a family that meets their unique needs, ensuring a smooth transition into their new home. We also offer foster care for short-term placements until the greyhound can be adopted into a permanent home.
Community Involvement
We are actively involved in the community, working to bring greyhounds from around the world to Maine. This includes collaborations with organizations like the National Greyhound Association to support greyhounds when they are no longer racing. Our goal is to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for all greyhounds, regardless of their background or medical needs.
Volunteer Opportunities
We rely on the kindness and dedication of our volunteers to help care for the greyhounds. Whether you can commit to weekly visits or assist with short-term tasks, your help is invaluable. Our volunteers play a crucial role in socializing the greyhounds, exercising them, and ensuring their overall well-being. We also welcome volunteers who can assist with non-greyhound activities such as maintaining the facility and grounds, helping with fundraising, and participating in meet-and-greets.
Donations and Support
Your support is essential to our mission. We appreciate donations of any amount, which help us cover the costs of caring for the greyhounds. You can support us through PayPal or by participating in our 12 x 12 program, where a monthly donation of $12 can make a significant difference over the year. Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue our work in finding loving homes for these incredible animals.
