BEWARE OF THE TEXAS HEAT!

 

With the weather quickly heating up here in Texas, combined with the high humidity,  a heatstroke can be lethal to our beloved greyhounds.  Please read the following article and DO NOT put your greyhound in this position:  Heat Stroke in Dogs.

 

GALT's GreytStore carries Cool Coats designed to help keep your greyhound cool in this hot weather, as well as the Cooler Dog Collar. Both of these products are designed to keep your dog cool through the power of evaporation.

 

Remember, your greyhound will feel the heat more intensely than you do. They cool themselves by panting, not by sweating.  

 

In loving memory of GQ, who tragically passed away due to heatstroke on June 7, 2014.

STRUT YOUR MUTT

Strutt Your Mutt logo

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:
