Maritime Greyhound Adoption Program Information

The Maritime Greyhound Adoption Program (now also called the Maritime Canine Adoption Program, was founded in 2003 by Deb Levasseur after a group of local Greyhound adopters felt the need for an adoption group in this area. MGAP is a registered charity that is a volunteer driven not for profit organization based out of Moncton NB; the Hub City, thus making it easy for us to place dogs anywhere within the Maritimes. We have even placed dogs as far away as Quebec and Ontario. MGAP promotes and uses positive training and behavior techniques as we believe in treating all animals with respect and believe in training in a systematic and efficient force free manner. MCAP strictly uses only foster homes for our dogs. In order to make successful placements, we know that we need to get to know our dogs personally and give them the socialization, consistency and training that they require before placement and our well laid out fostering program provides this for them. Our fostered dogs are living in homes with other animals, children and families, thus allowing us to make accurate observations and assessments of each and every dog's temperament and behaviour in real time situations.
