Stuart Homer co-founded Golden State Greyhound Adoption (GSGA) with his wife Barbara in 2002. Since then, they have rescued over 1,500 greyhounds! With a dedicated team, they rescue approximately 32 dogs every three to four months.

Many of these dogs make their way from Florida racetracks to Northern California. Listen to today's episode to learn more about the greyhounds' journey, their wonderful qualities, and how they end up in loving homes.
