PHOTO OF THE WEEK           
 
Our photo pick this week is Murray's snout!  Snout shots are always popular but Murray's smile makes this shot really special. Murray, fka Mercury, came to GALT as a stray and went to his forever home last May.  If you have a hound photo you would like to share in GALT's social media, please email it to socialmedia@galtx.org.

BLESSING OF THE HOUNDS  

On October 25, 2015, many hounds and humans joined GALT for our annual blessing of the hounds across from Les Lacs Linear Park in Addison, Texas.  Thanks to Rev. Melissa Bitting who conducted the blessing.  Attending dogs each received an individual blessing, a St. Francis of Assisi medal, and a blessing certificate. The names of all the hounds who crossed the Rainbow Bridge since the 2014 blessing were read aloud with a moment of silence to remember them. Please click here to see more photos from the blessing.
