July 2007
June 2007 In cooperation with Greyhound Pets Of America Melbourne Florida, 20 Homeless greyhounds are headed North to Connecticut. 2 weeks ago Melbourne closed the doors on greyhound racing with no notice to the kennels leaving GPA with over 400 dogs to find homes for. Crystal Zwart owner of TA'S kennel and Dennis Tyler President of GPA Melbourne worked through the night preparing these dogs for their 18 hour journey here to CT. 10 Will be going to Grateful Greyhounds of Long Island NY. President Lisa Sallie will be meeting the hauler in New Jersey around 4am on Sunday. The remaining greyhounds will then travel North to Stratford CT where Dr. Alan Busek has agreed to house them and perform all vet work needed prior to their placement as pets. When they arrive volunteers will be on hand to bathe and walk these dogs after their long journey. Grateful Greyhounds along with Pups Without Partners and Greyhound Rescue and Rehab will be advocating for homes for these dogs in the hopes we can get more towards the end of the month. Greyhounds are wonderful pets and are in need of loving adoptive homes. We need as much positive publicity we can get media attention would be a godsend. There are over 1000 greyhounds at any time in need of homes. With both CT tracks closed the dogs must come from other areas that are already saturated with greyhounds and are in need of adoption. There is a fee to adopt and an application process to assure the family and the group that the greyhound is getting a loving forever home. These greyhounds very lives depend on groups and individuals to help them many of their racing owners are standing by to help as well. In fact, one owner has given us space at his farm to house any dogs that we cannot place right away. Anyone who can help us when the hauler arrives at the Pet Hospital in Stratford on Linden Ave, please let us know. The hauler will be arriving between 7-8 am and anyone who can get some media attention would be well appreciated. These dogs need all the help we can get. We want to place as many in approved adoption homes as quickly as possible and get more.
