Greysave Scoop Newsletter for Summer Now Online!
The Summer 2010 issue of the Scoop is now on our newsletter page. It will help you catch up with what's new in GreySaveland in the last couple of months, including recent adoptions, and recent additions to the GreySave website such as the Rainbow Bridge. GreySave President Cathy Kiburtz talks about two key greyhound health issues: weight and dental hygiene. You'll learn about hiking with your greyhound and random fun facts about greys. We also provide links to the greyt vendors at our picnic in case you didn't buy something you wish you had. Plus lots of other fun stuff.

Rainbow Bridge Webpage
We have just added a Rainbow Bridge page to recognize the lives of greyhounds adopted by GreySave members who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Send us tributes to any greyhound who has passed on since you adopted a dog from GreySave, whether or not you adopted the grey who has passed on from us. Go to the bottom of the Rainbow Bridge page for submission guidelines.

History of the Greyhounds Page Updated
We have added a number of new images to our Illustrated History of the Greyhound page.

GreySave Website Gets a Spring Cleaning
We've just finished reworking and reorganizing this website to make it easier for you to find the information you're looking for. The site had outgrown its design in the last year or so. We moved the Home button to the left column, just under the logo. That gave room for a new drop-down list of articles called "care." With an extra drop-down menu at the top of the screen and a bit of rearranging, you can now see nearly all of our pages (the rest are accessible as links to the pages in the drop-down menus). Some items that you may be used to finding in one column have been moved to another--we apologize for any inconvenience you experience as you get used to the new structure. You can also find information on our site by typing key words into the box under "Search GreySave" in the left column.

August Dogs
We brought in 11 greyhounds on August 7: Benz, Gal, Grady, Julia, Keystone, Lady, MeMe, Sam, Sherlock, Sparks, and Viv. Their photos are rotating above. They're settling into their foster homes now. Go to the bottom of the Adoptables page to see all of their photos and vital statistics (injured Golden is in the Medical Hold section at the bottom). We'll post their profiles as their pet personalities emerge. You can see how their day goes from the time we get them from the track at The Last Lap.

Veterinarian Page Updated
See our new and greatly expanded veterinarian page. We are often asked to recommend veterinarians that have experience working with greyhounds. The vets who partner with GreySave may not be near all of our adopters, so we have added to the list vets who GreySave members tell us are experienced with greyhounds and provide great service. Thanks go to all of the members who took the time to help us compile this list!

Be a GreySave Benefactor
GreySave placed a lot of greyhounds in 2009. 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.
