On May 11th GALT was notified of an adoption kennel closing at the Hialeah track in Miami, Fl. Friends of Greyhounds was given less than 4 weeks to disperse the 60+ greyhounds in their adoption kennel. GALT contacted FoG and said we could help. This Wednesday, June 4, nine greyhounds are arriving at VCA Preston Park Animal Hospital. They will be ready for foster homes after initial medical workups and cat testing. They are arriving already spayed and neutered with dentals, which makes it all the more important that we have enough foster homes.
Foster homes are GALT's Greytest asset as you all know - it is also our biggest need! If you have been thinking, maybe I should try fostering, please contact Jennifer Vilches. If you can't foster at this time, please consider making a donation to help with their care.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF GALT'S GREYHOUNDS!

STRUT YOUR MUTT
It's that time of year again - when we strut our stuff for the GALT greyhounds. The best part is that you can strut anywhere - in your neighborhood, at the gym or even by just kicking back on your couch if that is your preferred style. You don't need a greyhound to strut; you don't even need a dog! The Central Texas GALT representatives will be stepping out this year in Austin on September 13th in the Best Friends Strut Your Mutt Walk and need our support. If you're interested in participating in the actual walk in Austin, please contact us for more details. We can, of course, be with them in spirit, Please join us for this fun-filled event either by registering for our team to raise funds or by donating to one of our existing team members. Your donation is tax-deductible and all the money raised will go to help GALT's greyhounds. Together, and through your support, we can live up to our standard of "No Grey Turned Away!" To donate via CASH or CHECK instead of CREDIT CARD, please make the check out to Greyhound Adoption League of Texas or enclose a note with the cash and send to: Best Friends Animal Society
