Can you feel that Breeze? Breeze, aka Turbo Breeze, is a 7-year-old brindle female born March 4, 2007. Her sire is Kiowa Sweet Trey and her dam is Turbo Wind Burn. Breeze has 29 races on record at Greyhound-data.com, mostly in Palm Beach, from December 2008 to April 2010. She then retired to a breeding farm, and proceeded to whelp 2 litters of puppies with sires Lonesome Cry and Dragon Fire.

Breeze should not live with cats.


Sweet, little Breeze is adjusting to home living quite easily! She'd be very happy laying around all day, with the occasional walk of course. She loves snuggling up next to you and just hanging out. She's a laid back girl, unless she spots a rabbit or squirrel, then watch out! Breeze is great on a leash, loves being petted by humans of all sizes, and adores treats. She has mastered going up the stairs, but somehow can't quite get the hang of going down.

One of the most fun things about her is that she still gets tricked by the noises from the TV. It's one of the only things that makes her jump up off of her bed! I think Breeze would do well as an only dog or in a home with other big dogs.

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. Of course, we can be with them in spirit, Register for our team to raise funds or donate to one of our existing team members here. Your donation is tax-deductible and all the money raised will go to help GALT's greyhounds. Together, 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:
