Heal a Hound Fund

What is the "Heal a Hound Fund"GPAMN-HealAHound-Logo.jpg

The Heal a Hound fund of Greyhound Pets of America Minnesota is a permanent fund that was established in 2006 to help support individual greyhounds that come to GPA MN and require special medical care before going to their forever home.  GPA MN is recognized as the regional resource for bringing in dogs with special needs.

The resources donated to the Heal a Hound Fund are earmarked to help to cover the medical expenses that are above and beyond the normally anticipated expenditures for an incoming hound. This fund allows us to cover the unexpected costs associated with special medical needs. As you can see from the photos below, GPA MN has been able to provide extra support to retired racers in need of a wide variety of services.

This fund is sustained by the contributions of individuals who designate their donations to be used specifically for the Heal a Hound fund. If you would like to donate to the fund, please include the note Heal a Hound with your donation.
