Winning Hearts

A Fundraising Gala Event.

Because Love Wins

What began 26 years ago as a small rescue, run by a handful of dedicated individuals helping just a few dozen greyhounds from Wisconsin’s tracks, has blossomed into something extraordinary. And it’s all because of you—the love you’ve shown has made it possible for us to save thousands of dogs, offering them safety, care, and the loving homes they deserve.

Each time the ground rules changed, you have been there to help us face those changes. 

When greyhound racing ended in Wisconsin in 2009, and the dogs we had cared for were suddenly hundreds of miles away, you didn’t let that stop us. Because love knows no distance, you helped us adapt—funding a van and transport trailer that carried us to southern racetracks, ensuring that we could continue to rescue greyhounds in need.

When we partnered with a prison dog program, you supported not just the dogs, but the inmates who worked tirelessly to care for and rehabilitate them. Your belief in second chances—both for the dogs and for people—proved that love heals.

As greyhound racing declined and eventually ended in the United States, your love didn’t fade. It grew. You helped us expand our mission to rescue Spanish Galgos, UK greyhounds, and Lurchers from rural communities in the Midwest and Texas. Love doesn’t stop at borders, and neither did we.

Over the past 26 years, American Greyhound has changed the lives of thousands of sight-hounds, all because love wins. This spring, 15 Spanish Galgos and 15-20 greyhounds from Colorado will arrive, given a new opportunity for a better life—all made possible by your unwavering love and support.

With your continued kindness, we are excited to make an even greater difference in the years ahead—because love always wins, and together, we’re proving it every day.
