Our Prison Program began August 2015, when we placed several greyhounds

into the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility, Nashville, Tennessee.

The greyhounds live in the facility and their assigned dog handlers care for them, which includes feeding, exercise, grooming, companionship and training. 

Linda Greg is our experienced dog trainer who works with the handlers and dogs

each week.

This program benefits both the dogs and their handlers and lasts ten weeks. Afterwards, the dogs move into foster homes and are available for adoption.

MCGA is very excited to be a part of this program and would like to thank

Corrections Corporation of America, the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility

and Mid-South Greyhound Adoption Option for their involvement.

*Unfortunately, our Prison Program ended with the onset of the pandemic in 2020. ​

Second Group of Prison Graduates:

Jonathan and Spark, Shirley and Woody,

Chelsea and Rob (Kerby already in foster home)

Please help to support the greyhounds in this wonderful program.

Your support will ensure the continuation of this program

and allow the expansion of this and future programs.
