The move creates a new private pathway for retired racing greyhounds to transition into pet homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based at Glen and Gill Quirk\u2019s 200-acre property in Lerida, in the Southern Tablelands, Greyt Heart will provide pet preparation and rehoming services on a fee-for-service basis for owners and trainers. It completed a <strong>three-month pilot programme<\/strong> and has already begun taking dogs into its programme, with some successfully finding new homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GRNSW plans to establish a Private Pet Placement Provider in every region where greyhound racing is conducted. The programme was first announced at GRNSW\u2019s Industry Future Summit in 2025 and requires licensed providers to meet welfare and reporting requirements. Providers must also use GRNSW\u2019s pet placement platform to track dogs through the adoption process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steve Griffin, GRNSW CEO, said: \u201cThe idea was based around providing a private option for owners and trainers to utilise to rehome their greyhound pets.\u201d He added that providers would be closely monitored and would offer pet preparation services similar to those provided through <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/national-greyhound-adoption-day-sets-record-in-new-south-wales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greyhounds As Pets (GAP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greyt Heart will provide a new fee-for-service pathway to prepare and rehome retired racing greyhounds in New South Wales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":226,"featured_media":777036743,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) has launched its Private Pet Placement Providers programme, appointing Greyt Heart as the inaugural licensed entity.
