Charity of the Month: Friends of Retired Greyhounds, April 2019

SHOPPING HERE HELPS HOUNDS! This month ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to FRIENDS OF RETIRED GREYHOUNDS

Friends of Retired Greyhounds is a 501c3 non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to working with kennel operators and other adoption groups to place retired greyhounds in responsible, loving homes. Our organization works with veterinarians to insure that dogs adopted from FOR Greyhounds are vaccinated, and in general good health before placing them in homes. In addition to this, we educate individual and groups about greyhounds, their history, their lives as racing dogs, and our adoption program.

BREAKING NEWS!  dateline FORG -

"We are three short weeks away from leaving for Spain to bring back some of the so deserving Galgos currently residing at Scooby Medina.  Although there are so many of these precious animals that need to be rehomed, FORG, along with Daphne Legacy Tours, has asked Scooby Medina to allow us to bring back 36 that have been in the shelter the longest.  There are some that in their short lives have spent more time in the shelter than they have outside the shelter.  Many of these galgos are under three years of age and they have only known shelter life.  
It averages $1,000 a galgo to get them to the US so your help is greytly needed and appreciated. Again - thank you for helping us help the Spanish Galgo."
