RDRP provides an outlet for trainers, breeders, and tracks to help place retired racers.
The Florida Greyhound Racing Ban does not go into effect until 12/31/2020. Some seasonal tracks will not reopen and did not have Greyhounds on site when the decision was made. Other seasonal tracks will stop racing at the end of this season.
Adoptions may continue at a slower rate with a few exceptions (closing of seasonal tracks) until tracks decide when to stop racing in 12/31/2020. Please be patient as we do our best to find a greyhound for you.
One thing you can do now which would be very helpful is to support our efforts financially if you are able.
RDRP serves the Florida counties of Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, DeSoto and beyond.
