Sponser a Retired Racers Flight Home!

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Julie Myles

In order to keep our adoption fees low, we only charge the adopter a portion of the actual flight cost from Nova Scotia.  The balance of each flight is approximately $250.00 which is subsidized by GPAC-NL.  We are having a very busy year and flight fees are quickly adding up.

Please consider sponsoring a Greyhounds transportation or a portion of, to their forever home in Newfoundland.  You can use the “Donate” button to the right or contact Karen Wade at treasurer@gpac-nl.com and you will be helping a Greyhound reach their home!
