GRV refutes claims made by Greyhound Adoptions WA

Greyhound Racing Victoria strongly refutes the allegations made by Greyhound Adoptions WA on social media recently.

The claims stated that GRV’s Greyhound Adoption Program handed greyhounds to the RSPCA which then needed to be rehomed in WA.

This is incorrect.

GRV has a strategic welfare program which ensures the greyhounds welfare is always put first.
Victorian greyhounds are rehomed through our own Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP), private rehoming agencies in Victoria and the participants themselves.

GRV regulates the sport of greyhound racing in the state of Victoria under the Racing Act 1958 (Act), which includes setting standards and ensuring they are met by participants.
