Supporting Greyhounds Beyond the Track: Adoption Awareness Vests by Mittys
Greyhounds Deserve More Than a Finish Line
At Mittys, we’ve proudly supported greyhound racing for decades — but we also believe in supporting what comes after. As more and more people discover the gentle, loving nature of retired greyhounds, rehoming and adoption efforts have become more important than ever.
That’s why we’ve created the Greyhound Community Awareness Vest — a new product designed not for the track, but for the transition to a forever home.
What Is the Community Awareness Vest?
This customisable vest is made from lightweight, breathable Lycra and is perfect for:
- Adoption days
- Rescue walks and meet-and-greets
- Charity fundraisers
- Awareness campaigns
Each vest can be printed with logos, QR codes, social handles, and messages — helping rescue groups connect with potential adopters and raise awareness in their communities.
We recently worked with PRIV Greyhound Adoptions to develop a custom vest that helps promote their rehoming efforts during public events and walks. The results speak for themselves — visibility makes a difference.
Why It Matters
Adoption groups across Australia work tirelessly to give greyhounds a second chance. Visibility at events and in public spaces can mean the difference between overlooked and adopted. With a clear message on their back (literally), these vests help greyhounds get noticed for all the right reasons.
Interested in Adoption?
If you’re considering adopting or fostering a greyhound, we encourage you to connect with a reputable rescue organisation:
Or visit PRIV Greyhound Adoptions on Instagram to see more about the amazing work they do.
Help Spread the Word
If you’re part of an adoption or rehoming organisation, or just want to show support, our Community Awareness Vests are a great way to raise visibility and start conversations.
