Going Home Greyhounds

Going Home Greyhounds was founded in the summer of 1995 by Jane Drellow and Ruth Patrick. The organization was later incorporated in 1997 and received their 501(C)(3) non-profit status in December of 2001. Jane and Ruth designed the heart and greyhound head profile that became GHG's logo. Our logo is now proudly displayed on the new special edition Pennsylvania license plate.

The organization currently consists of 5 board members and over 100 volunteers. Our volunteers perform various activities such as hauling retired racers from racing kennels, bathing newly retired dogs, fostering greyhounds in their homes, doing meet and greets, participating in local parades and various fund raising activities.

Since 1995, approximately 1600 retired racing greyhounds have been placed into loving homes throughout the greater Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. GHG is a local, all volunteer organization that adopts within a 100-mile radius of the Pittsburgh area. This helps to ensure that we are better able to communicate with our adopters and able to follow the care of our adoptees, because it is important to GHG that both the adopter and adoptee are happy and matched properly.
