Our mission is to inform the public that adopting a racing greyhound is an excellent decision. They're loving and devoted pets. Contrary to popular belief, greyhounds are obedient, very intelligent and calm dogs. REGAP of Illinois, Inc. is a not-for-profit adoption/rescue program dedicated to finding loving, forever homes for retired greyhounds.
