Running Home
GALT receives Greyhounds from many different backgrounds - retired racer, injured racer, owner return or release and stray.  Many of these Greyhounds come to us in very poor health with critical medical issues. Driven by our mission "No Grey Turned Away", GALT provides the necessary medical care, nurses them back to health and helps them transition to a loving home.  The journey home for these Greyhounds is sometimes long and heartbreaking but persistence pays off in the end.  We would not have been able to assist these Greyhounds without your generosity and support.

GALT is proud announce for 2013......
