Overview

Mission

Greyhound Adoption of Ohio, Inc (GAO) finds loving homes for retired racing greyhound, as an alternative to euthanasia. In order to ensure these greyhounds are placed in appropriate homes, potential adopters fill out an application, including personal and veterinary references, followed by an in-person interview, and possible home visit. After adoption, the organization provides follow-up and support for the life of the greyhound. Since its inception in 1995, GAO has placed more than 3000 of these wonderful animals. GAO functions 7 days a week, 12 months a year, through the efforts of the director and many volunteers

What it reported doing in 2024

Greyhound Adoption of Ohio, Inc. provides temporary shelter, care and medical treatment for retired, rejected or abandoned racing greyhounds until an approved, suitable home is found. About 100 dogs were placed this year precluding these healthy, young dogs from being unnecessarily euthanized.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
