Charity of the Month: Greyhound Rescue and Adoptions of Tampa Bay, December 2018

SHOPPING HERE HELPS HOUNDS! This month ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to Greyhound Rescue and Adoptions of Tampa Bay, GREAT, Inc.
GREAT, Inc. is a non-profit greyhound rescue and adoption organization located in central Florida. We find homes for greyhounds that can no longer compete in racing. GREAT has placed over a thousand greyhounds since 1993. Although we are not affiliated with the racing industry, we do receive our dogs from the trainers and owners who want to place their retired racers in private homes. We also take in stray greyhounds that have been surrendered to animal shelters. The greyhounds we receive are evaluated through our foster care program. Foster care provides a temporary home for the greyhound during its transition from track to home.

We have no paid staff. The success of our organization depends solely on the efforts of volunteers, our network of foster parents, and donations from the community.

Learn more about us at https://great-greyhound.org/

We are forever indebted to the adoption groups who have taken these wonderful dogs and given them a second chance.  More information at www.americanlurcherproject.org

Charity of the Month: Greyhound Friends for Life, January 2018

SHOPPING HERE HELPS HOUNDS!  This month ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to GREYHOUND FRIENDS FOR LIFE 



Once again, we have chosen GFFL for our beneficiary group due to the repeated extreme disasters that have occurred in California.  First the wildfires (worst in state history), now devastating mudslides.
 
Some adopters were evacuated, some lost everything, and some are hoping that their homes survived. In the Tubbs Fire in October, GFFL lost it's van, office equipment, crates, sales merchandise, and our 2017 Reunion cash proceeds.

Not only will your donations help GFFL replace what we lost, but you will help our greyhound fire survivors as well as their adopters recover. We have received a tremendous outpouring and love and support, which has meant so much to those impacted by the fire. We will be eternally greytful for your donations, which will enable us to continue to find homes for ex-racing greyhounds and other greyhounds and greyhound mixes in need.
