Support SEGA
There are many ways you can support SEGA. Remember, all donations and other revenues are dedicated entirely to supporting our Greyhound adoption program.
Volunteer!
We have many volunteer opportunities available. Click here to learn more about volunteering.
Collect and save empty printer ink cartridges!
SEGA earns money by recycling empty inkjet and laser printer cartridges (no Epsons or previously recycled cartridges). Save the empties from your home printer and the ones at work too! Set up a program to collect them at work, school or in your neighborhood! Contact us to arrange pickup or shipment of bulk cartridges.
Donate goods or services!
Here are a few items on our wish list at the kennel:
- Household cleaning spray
- Floor cleaner (e.g., Lysol, Mr. Clean, etc.)
- Medical supplies…stretch gauze, non-stick Telfa pads, tape (Elastikon is our favorite), ear cleaning pads
- Office supplies (e.g., stamps, royal blue pocket folders, medium tip Sharpies, etc.)
- DD batteries for flashlights
- Have a wire crate you aren't using anymore? A foster grey could use it!
- Heartguard and Frontline for our dogs in foster care

Foster a Greyhound!
A foster home is a temporary home for one of our Greyhounds awaiting adoption. By being a foster parent, you assist in getting the hound acclimated to home-life. Plus, space is made available at the SEGA kennel for another dog to be brought in from the track! Greyhound Fostering: Start to Finish and our Guidelines for Volunteers are two very important documents to read before making this decision. Most of our homes have their foster hound between two days to two weeks, depending on the availability of an appropriate prospective adopter. Please contact the foster chair for more information. Thank you!!

Contribute financially!
Southeastern Greyhound Adoption/Greyhound Pets of America-Atlanta is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. Our sole sources of funds for our operations are adoption fees and donations, 100 percent of which goes directly to our adoption efforts.
For the past three years, our income from all sources has been equal to our expenses.
