Other Ways to Give

The Heartship Medical Fund has been established to help GPI adopters with medical expenses for a GPI greyhound when an adopter is unable to find sufficient funds to provide necessary care. The Heartship Fund exists to help prevent returning a GPI dog due to a medical catastrophe and provides a resource that might help keep the greyhound at home and the family together.
