Description
Greyhound Pets of Atlantic Canada (GPAC) is a Canadian registered non-profit society located in Musquodoboit Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. We are a 100% volunteer-driven organization and as of January 2006, have placed over 1000 greyhounds into loving homes throughout Atlantic Canada.
From humble beginnings, Greyhound Pets of Atlantic Canada (GPAC) was founded in the early 1990's by Jeanette Reynolds. Initially, dogs were brought back from the United Sates a few at a time in a car. This gradually progressed to the renting of a van and volunteers traveling south to bring the dogs back to loving homes.
Today, GPAC has an arrangement almost exclusively with Shoreline Star Greyhound Park's Adoption Program called "Pups Without Partners" to bring dogs into Atlantic Canada. Dogs are transported to Musquodoboit Harbour, Nova Scotia in a greyhound hauler, with up to thirty dogs at least three times a year. This arrangement allows us to transport the dogs in larger loads and more economically. All dogs are transported on the condition that they will be moved immediately into pre-approved homes.
