Animal Welfare

Racing in Western Australia is subject to strict governance and integrity measures.

Animals are the stars of our sport and we strive to uphold the highest standards of care from birth to retirement and beyond - constantly evolving our welfare standards.

Our comprehensive welfare strategy, supported by a robust regulatory framework, ensures that we achieve the best standards through evidence-based decisions, transparent data, and effective, measurable advances in animal welfare.

Greyhounds as Pets

Greyhounds as Pets WA (GAP) is our initiative dedicated to the rehoming of retired greyhounds. Our mission is to provide these gentle and affectionate dogs with a forever home when they leave the care of the racing community. 

Through our GAP adoption program, community outreach and education, we promote the suitability of greyhounds as family pets and companions. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition from the track to the home, offering ongoing support and resources to adopters.
