Oregon Greyhound Association

The Oregon Greyhound Association (OGA) is a not-for-profit group dedicated to providing good care and good homes for greyhounds, both during and after their racing careers. Our members include kennel owners, greyhound owners, trainers, and helpers. Located in Gresham, Oregon, the OGA, Oregon Racing Commission and two greyhound adoption groups work together to place more than 300 greyhounds a year into loving homes. 

Oregon Racing Commission prohibits euthanizing greyhounds except for humane reasons. Euthanasia must be recommended by and performed by a licensed veterinarian (Oregon Administrative Rules, 462-180-0020, Care of Greyhounds).  The OGA actively supports the ban on euthanasia by providing an adoption kennel and experienced staff to care for Oregon’s greyhounds until they are adopted. While in the adoption kennel the greyhounds receive any needed medical attention.
