Happy Birthday Greyhound Pets of America
20 years ago this month, GPA opened its doors for business. Our first greyhound to be adopted was from one of our original chapters, GPA-Massachusetts, the greyhound’s name, Rise. No one at that time could have known how appropriate that name would be for a young organization that would eventually grow to be the worlds largest single breed adoption program.
I would like to say thank you and offer my warmest congratulation to all the volunteers who have participated with GPA in the last 20 years and also my best wishes for another 20 years of continued service. It’s because of you that we have been able to defy all the odds, naysayer’s and have found homes for over 65,000 greyhounds.
I personally have always felt at home in GPA, because of your professionalism, fellowship, and service. Together we have contributed to the quality of many households by introducing them to the wonders of greyhounds as pets.
I believe our future is bright, but only if we are able to improve upon the past and tackle the challenges of today and by ‘we’ I mean all involved in the lives of the racing greyhounds.
Your service and commitment is greatly appreciated,
Happy Birthday GPA
