GAR34 Requirements in relation to notification of control and location of a greyhound (including as a result of a greyhound having its ownership transferred)
GAR34 (5)(a) A registered person must as soon as possible notify a Controlling Body that a greyhound has come into, or left, the person’s care or custody (and in each of those cases including as a result of a greyhound having its ownership transferred)
Mandatory Desexing
Greyhounds must be desexed before being retired to a member of the public.
GAR 24 Mandatory Sterilisation of Greyhounds retired as pets.
(1) Unless a greyhound is being accepted by an adoption agency approved by a Controlling body that undertakes sterilisation, the owner or person responsible for the greyhound at the time of such retirement as a pet must ensure that the greyhound has been surgically sterilised by a veterinarian before allowing the greyhound to leave their care and custody, except where a veterinarian certifies after examining that greyhound, to the satisfaction of a controlling body, that being surgically sterilised would be detrimental to its welfare.
(2) In submitting the required notification prescribed by rule 22(1)(a), a certificate of sterilisation by a veterinarian must be supplied for any retired greyhound to which this rule applies.
