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.

These retired racers are very intelligent, adaptable dogs that can easily fit into a new environment following a brief adjustment period. They are eager to please and respond positively to any attention given to them. They become very attached to their new families and provide their people with many joyous years. |
