GREYHOUND WELFARE IS MOBILIZING FOR FLORIDA RETIRED RACERS
It’s All About The Dogs.

With the passage of the Florida Constitutional Amendment #13 banning wagering on any dog racing in Florida, retired racing greyhound adoption groups nationwide are organizing now to accommodate the anticipated influx of Florida retired greyhounds looking for adoptive homes.

Since our inception in 2002, Greyhound Welfare (GW) has been dedicated to finding forever adoptive homes for retired racing greyhounds.  GW is mobilizing now in preparation for retired racers from Florida.

You can help GW’s mission by volunteering to foster a retired racer, adopt a retired racer and/or make a financial donation to GW.

All of us who have adopted these wonderful dogs will have to work together and contribute support in order to find forever adoptive homes for these retired racers.

THE BEST HOLIDAY GIFT FOR OUR DOGS

As wonderful as the holiday season can be for we humans, it can be a tough and stressful time for our dogs.  Let’s keep our beloved doggies (and kitties) safe with these guidelines.

WINTER IS TICK AND FLEA SEASON TOO!
Guidelines Here

Ticks are a year round nuisance. Ticks don’t jump or fall from trees looking for their host. Rather, ticks climb up to higher places off the ground and wait for a passerby so the tick can grab on to the new host.  Although ticks are year round, Fall is a particularly bad time for ticks (and fleas). The cooler temperatures and shorter days cause these pesky parasites to seek warmer places to live. That means your greyhound is a prime home. Leaf piles, high grass, bushes, brush undergrowth are all prime places for ticks (and fleas) to hide.

 MORE GREYHOUNDS ARRIVING IN DECEMBER!
Check out all our beautiful greyhounds looking for fur-ever homes at Adoptable Dogs.

FOSTERING 

Curious about greyhounds but not sure you want to commit to full-time ownership?   Do you want to help a greyhound find his/her forever home?  Consider Fostering!  Greyhound Welfare has a well developed fostering program to guide our foster parents.  We provide the supplies and mentor…you provide the love. Please complete a volunteer application.  The retired greyhounds thank you.
