SEGA and Greyhounds

  • 100% of the proceeds from the race go directly to Southeastern Greyhound Adoption and its adoption program.
  • This race is being held to raise funds to support SEGA's efforts to help former Greyhound racers. Your entry fee will be used to transport, then vet and house former racing Greyhounds until they find their forever homes. Our ultimate goal is to find forever homes for all former racers.
  • Greyhounds are an ancient and noble breed. They are the only breed of dog mentioned in the Bible (Proverbs 30:29-31; King James version), and were written about by Homer, Chaucer, and Shakespeare.
  • When you adopt a former racing Greyhound, you take home a wonderful, gentle companion. You also save the life of a magnificent purebred dog that will spend the rest of his years returning your favor with unconditional love and affection.
