Short-Term Foster Homes Needed
05/12/2013

We currently have 3 greys who would benefit from short-term (2-3 weeks) foster care. Adoptive homes are being prepared for them, but are not quite ready yet.  If you have a spot available on your couch for a couple of weeks, please call Louise at 508-435-5969 or email her at greyhndfds@aol.com. Thanks!

Donations Needed - Bedding, Food, Transport Costs
04/25/2013

If you're thinking of stopping by to visit Greyhound Friends, to run your hounds in our fenced field or just to say hello, we could really use more bedding for the dogs (blankets, carpeting, sheets) as well as dog food (Iams or other good quality kibble, rawhide chews, canned food, rice, olive oil, etc.). Supplies of both are running a bit low right now. Many thanks if you can drop off a donation!

Greyhound Friends' collar/leash/coat drive for Limerick Animal Welfare is ongoing. www.limerickanimalwelfare.com  Please bring or send to Greyhound Friends any collars/leashes and coats you would like to donate. We will mail them over. The items don't have to be new......we will send whatever is donated. Two large shipments have already been sent and received; LAW is very grateful that their greyhounds have warm coats during an unusually cold spring.
