RACE FOR ADOPTION

GPA-NMGC is proud to announce our participation in the Race For Adoption program.

Racing for GPA-NMGC and our retired Greyhounds is Hudson Brawl (Hudsy), who is 'donated by' Herbert Legg Jr. of Iowa.

Hudsy is racing for Arivada Kennel,
and is trained by Clifton Gray.

Race For Adoption is the brainchild of former Greyhound trainer Dennis McKeon. The idea was to have a Greyhound racing for the direct support of an adoption group. Basically, a dog is 'donated' to the adoption group of the owners choosing and the winnings from that dog are given to the chosen group. There are currently 5 Greyhounds Racing For Adoption across the country. You can learn more about Race For Adoption on their website at www.raceforadoption.com.

You can follow Hudsy's racing exploits by visiting the Phoenix Greyhound Park website at www.phoenixgreyhoundpark.com. You can watch live streaming video of the races which start at 7:30pm. The racing dates for each RFA dog can be found on the Race For Adoption website.

A BIG THANK YOU to Herbert Legg Jr., this is a great partnership between racing and adoption.
