INCOMING GREYHOUNDS
 
Rylee is a 5-year-old, beautiful black female born in April 2007. Her registration number is illegible, so her identity will never be known. Rylee was originally found as a stray wandering the streets of Dalhart, TX. Rylee was adopted three years ago, but has now returned to GALT to resume her search for her forever home. She is a quiet and somewhat shy girl. Rylee is cat tolerant.
