REGAP of Illinois, Inc. is a Chicagoland area/Central Illinois based anti-race, non-profit, rescue and adoption group.  We are a 100% volunteer, 501c3 charitable organization.  Our mission is to rescue these magnificent dogs, find loving forever homes for them and to inform the public that adopting a retired racing Greyhound is an excellent decision.

 Greyhounds are loving, devoted pets who contrary to popular belief, are obedient, very intelligent, calm and relaxed dogs.

Each year the overly competitive racing industry forces thousands of racers into early retirement, usually between the age of two and five years.
