Greetings!
Mother's Day is coming up this Sunday, and we'd like to take a moment to recognize mothers of all kinds, including one who's available for adoption! Dedi not only had a racing career, but went on to be mother to five litters of puppies. Many wonderful brood matrons have come to GALT and have gone on to find their perfect forever homes with loving adopters.
Whether it's one of those special brood matrons, your mother, or a wonderful "dog mom" in your life, please consider making a donation to GALT in their name to honor these miracle life-givers!

FEATURED GREYHOUND
Silvia is a beautiful. 9 1/2 year old brindle female. She is untattooed, but but we were told when she arrived that she was born in June 2002. Silvia and Sammy are littermates! This sweet, lil 'ol gal is ready for a home of her own and how can anyone resist that face? Silvia is cat trainable and is getting along fine with a small dog in her foster home.
Silvia is a young at heart girl! She is so loving and sweet. She gets along with everybody, including my 12.5lb terrier mix and Gracie my greyhound. She has had no accidents in the house, knows how to tell you she needs to go out, just learned how to play with stuffies, take treats and eats dry kibble. She is learning the doggie door now. She will make an amazing sweet four legged friend and would love to have companionship during the day, either human or canine.
-Silvia's foster mom
