Charity of the Month: December & January

SHOPPING HERE HELPS HOUNDS! These two months, ALL PROCEEDS  from the Handmade4Hounds Shop on Etsy, minus fees, will be donated to

 Galgo Podenco Support

Galgo Podenco Support (GPS), a volunteer non-profit entity, was established to support the Spanish licensed charity groups that rescue, rehabilitate and rehome abandoned and abused galgos and podencos. Inspired by the tireless efforts of those on the front lines, GPS offers assistance in the way of financial support, practical help, and facilitation of adoptions to the US. 

Are there obstacles to running an organization that focuses on the needs of dogs in a foreign country? Absolutely. In addition to obvious challenges such as language and distance barriers, one often hears "what about the dogs here in the US? There is plenty of need here". GPS believes that there are no borders defining dogs in need. What the Spanish hounds endure is a global condition that affects all of us, one way or another. The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. — Mahatma Gandhi

GPS would like to express our great appreciation to the US greyhound groups who have opened their hearts and homes to the Spanish hounds. We so appreciate their professionalism, support and passion for the plight of the galgos and podencos. For information about how GPS facilitates adoptions, please visit www.galgopodencosupport.org

Charity of the Month: October

SHOPPING HERE HELPS HOUNDS! This month ALL PROCEEDS  from the Handmade4Hounds Shop on Etsy, minus fees, will be donated to

THE AMERICAN LURCHER PROJECT

(formerly Ohio Lurcher Project)

The American Lurcher Project Team works on behalf of the lurchers (greyhound mixed breeds) to get them to responsible adoption groups. We believe these wonderful dogs deserve a second chance to live a life in a real home. Lurchers have a wonderful strong spirit and most of the lurchers adjust quickly and are very appreciative of their new home and family. We are not an adoption group, but we rescue and transport the dogs to groups throughout the United States and Canada. 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

GREYHOUND PETS OF AMERICA/LAandMS

GPA/LAandMS is located in Covington, Louisiana, and is a chapter of Greyhound Pets of America.  The purpose of Greyhound Pets of America(GPA) is to find responsible loving homes for Greyhounds, to acquaint the public with the desirability of Greyhounds as pets, and to inform them of the availability of Greyhounds for adoption.

Greyhound Pets of America was founded in 1987 to find homes for racing greyhounds when their racing careers were finished. Through the support of our volunteers and countless hours that they have given, GPA and its chapters, including this one, have adopted over 80,000 greyhounds to homes throughout the country.

With recent flooding in Louisiana and throughout the area, many homes have been flooded, and many foster dogs have had to be moved.  The most pressing need is for dog food, and if you feel able to donate directly, donations can be sent to GPA/LAandMS at 25 Pipes Loop, Covington, LA  70435-9509.

Meanwhile, any purchase you make this month in the H4H shop will also bring help where it is needed.

GREYHOUND ADOPTION CENTER

 

 

 

GAC finds loving homes for rescued track greyhounds and greyhound mixes. Our program focuses on each dog’s wellbeing, providing quality medical care and TLC as they transition to forever homes. GAC ensures that each dog is well matched to its new family. Transportation, food, shelter and medical care — often including extensive surgeries for broken legs sustained on the track — is covered by donations from greyhound lovers, grants and public contributions. Many dogs are housed in cage-free modules complete with air conditioning and dog runs. The dogs socialize with people, other dogs, cats and children, all in an effort to assess their behavior via our expert profilers. Trained adoption representatives profile each dog and each adopter to find the right fit.  Since 1987, we have placed over 6,000 dogs into loving homes.  With your help we will continue this important work.

NEVADA GREYHOUNDS UNLIMITED 

 

Nevada Greyhounds Unlimited is a northern Nevada non-profit organization dedicated to finding loving permanent homes for ex-racing greyhounds. We do not have our own kennel, but work with several other rescue groups that bring the greyhounds off the track and prepare them for adoption. We talk to prospective adopters, take in applications, conduct home visits, and then process applications through the adoption agencies that we work with. Most of the greyhounds we place are from the Caliente racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico or from Phoenix, Arizona.

We sponsor many events throughout the year that serve both to educate the public and to help us meet people who are interested in adopting greyhounds. We have many wonderful volunteers that help us with everything from writing our newsletter to helping us with all our Meet N Greets and social functions. Many of our greyhounds are trained as Pet Therapy dogs and we even have a couple of them that are certified as Service Dogs.

HALFWAY HOME GREYHOUND ADOPTION

Halfway Home Greyhound Adoption in Tulsa, OK, is a unique adoption team formed in April 2002 by Teddy Palmer to help greyhounds find adoptive homes that do not have access to track adoption programs. Teddy built a 16 run kennel in her own backyard to house hounds in waiting. The small group of dedicated volunteers is motivated by a mutual love of the breed and respect for the farms’ commitment to the dogs. Halfway Home is unique because they not only support local adoption, but they also organize hauls to transport greyhounds from farms and tracks to adoption groups all over the country. The amount of time and money that go into each haul is often enormous, and could not be done without the commitment of many people willing to provide their time and efforts to cover the expenses of each haul.

Halfway Home is a non-profit 501(c)3 that is currently celebrating moving 5,927 dogs into loving homes…Some of them could be in your homes right now!
