Plus fun photos, a greyhound poem, and other cool stuff.
Los Angeles Times on Increased Need for Greyhound Adopters
The January 5 story begins: "Seven dog tracks halted racing across the country last year, forcing hundreds of greyhounds into an uncertain future. With fewer tracks available for them to race, the sleek long-limbed dogs are now flooding the adoption market at a difficult time." See the complete story at: As more greyhound racing tracks close, adoptive homes are needed for retiring dogs.
January Dogs
We took in 14 greyhounds on January 2, including 12 from the Caliente track: Tristan, Carrie, Leon, Daphne, Blizzard, Rhoda, Ricardon, Walter, Ruth, Dyra, Ellie, Joy, Theresa, and Redd. They're settling into their foster homes now. Their photos are rotating above. Go to the bottom of the Adoptables page to see all of their photos and vital statistics (Tristan is in the Medical Hold section). We'll post their profiles as their pet personalities emerge. See how their day goes from the time we get them from the track at The Last Lap.

Be a GreySave Benefactor
GreySave is placed a lot of greyhounds in 2000. That's the good news. The not so good news is that our costs, mainly due to dogs coming off the track with broken legs and other onjuries, are much higher than our adoption fee. Read more about how you can help us meet this challenge. Go to the Benefactor Fund Drive 2009-2010 page to read about how the generosity of our benefactors helped make a wonderful new life for Gracie, an injured greyhound. See also the cool things you'll receive for helping the hounds, from having your name immortalized on our Benefactor Walk of Fame (see the 2008 Walk of Fame page), free admission to our events, free raffle tickets, and free spa treatments, to custom embroidered polo shirts and jackets.
