| Newsletter, SPRING 2011: Wow what a winter! It is April and officially spring, but winter is still lurking outside in the damp days and chilly nights. The greyhounds here are frisky! They have discovered their abilities to dig holes! Something that doesn't thrill us ... but they do really delight in it! We are in extreme need of homes without cats! We have some of the best looking, well mannered, charming boys of all time but they aren't cat-safe. Please consider adopting or fostering one. Many others are waiting for their chance to grab the life preserver, so please, you know you're used to having two or three or that you haven't fostered in a while, so extend a helping hand now. If you've kept up on greyhounds news, you know that things are happening all over the country that could add to the number of greyhounds in need of a safety net and somewhere to go. Your help is needed now! THE GREAT AMERICAN GREYHOUND GARAGE SALE....yes, we're having one but as I write this I'm not sure where or when...we have a couple of options. After last year's sale being so much bigger than expected, we will be selling trash and treasures for at least two days - maybe three. SO SAVE YOUR STUFF! Mark your calendars for October 8, 2011. That will be this year's Greyhounds,Glamour & Golf! Such a fantastic day of good food, great music, golf if you choose to and lots of greyhounds! More info will be available soon. NEW SHIRTS! Please check out our new heather gray T-shirt with purple print, "Refuse to Loose Adopt a Greyhound (it's a win-win)" ANIMAL RESCUE SITE: SHELTER CHALLENGE...VOTE USA DOG! The latest campaign began April 4 and runs through June 19. Please vote for us. The prize would buy foster food! Vote for - USA Defenders of Greyhounds Carmel, IN GREYHOUND ADOPTER REMINDER: When you adopted your hounds from USA DOG, you signed an agreement to keep a collar with tags, including an USA DOG tag, on your hound at all times! Some of you seem have forgotten that simple step to ensure the return of your hound in the event of an accident. MOST GREYHOUNDS GET LOOSE FROM THEIR HOMES, those with tags are typically returned to their families. The reality of it is that if not killed by a car or truck, with proper identification will bring your hound home to you! If you have lost or misplaced your USA DOG tag, please let me know and we can replace it. As the weather improves and more and more greyhounds suffer from that dreadful disease ... Bunny Fever ... we have to step-up our precautions to keep them safe. Spring is all about the chase! So get those collars back on them as you agreed! That will be just one more thing for which they will love you! STORMS, STORMS AND MORE STORMS! Have you ordered your Thundershirt? These really help calm down nervous or anxious dogs. The greyhounds seem to enjoy wearing them! Please check them out in our PRODUCTS section. KEEPING IN TOUCH: If you have a new email address please let us know! Or if you move or change phone numbers, send us an email to help us help your info current. This is especially important in the event that your hound becomes lost. Remember those USA DOG tags, people DO CALL when they see those tags and we need current info to be able to contact you as quickly as possible! Keep your eyes on Florida, Arizona and Iowa; greyhound laws are on the edge of major changes ... GOOD CHANGES! Hugs those hounds, Sally Click here to read previous Newsletters |
