Greyhound Pets of America - Louisiana in Covington, LA
Greyhound Pets of America - Louisiana is an animal shelter located in Covington, Louisiana, within St. Tammany Parish, about 35 miles south of Kenner, LA, and one of 13 animal shelters/rescues serving the parish. It operates as part of Greyhound Pets of America, a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation founded in 1987 that is the largest single non-profit Greyhound adoption group in the world, made up of numerous chapters. Staffed exclusively by volunteers, the organization serves Greyhounds and people throughout Louisiana and Mississippi, dedicated to finding responsible, loving, permanent homes for retired racing greyhounds as well as younger dogs that did not become racers. Fostering plays a central role in its adoption process, giving dogs time in a home environment to acclimate to life after racing before being placed permanently.
