# GPA-MN — Greyhound Pets of America, Minnesota Chapter

> An all-volunteer, NGA-endorsed nonprofit that has been adopting retired racing greyhounds into loving Minnesota homes since 1989.

GPA-MN serves the Twin Cities metro and the broader state of Minnesota. We rely entirely on volunteers — fosters, transporters, walkers, event staff, board members, and skilled trades — to place hounds and care for them along the way.
