GALT had just received an anonymous commitment for a matching donation for September events - STRUT YOUR MUTT and NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY!
This comes at a time when funds are desperately needed for the broken legs and injuries, strays and shelter greys just received within the last 2 months. It could be described as a Greyhound Soap Opera! Within 60 days GALT has received:
5 stray greys - Clara, Hydro, Tulip, Blossom and Jaxson
4 shelter greys (one broken leg) - Sunshine, Darcy, Ajax and Skywalker
6 farm/breeder greys - Beauty, India, Anna, Breeze, Brooklyn and Stella
5 injured at Gulf Greyhound Park - Asp, Kora, Vic, Sails and Travis
9 hoarded greys - Levi, Tyrion, Riddick, Petey, Heluka, Medley, Valentino, Christy Ellin and Countess Aliesha
Whew! That is 29 greyhounds! And over half needed medical care immediately before going on to a foster home.
Since 2014 began, we have take in
13 strays
5 shelter dogs
36 breeder/farm dogs
7 Gulf Greyhound Park injuries/fractures
20 owner surrenders
8 from other adoption groups
That's 89 dogs this year!
Please consider making a donation to the Miss Mesa Fund on behalf of these wonderful greys so we can qualify for the matching donation - every $5 helps!
