WHERE DO YOUR DONATION DOLLARS GO?
Several years ago, Karen, a non-greyhound friend made an interesting observation. After patiently listening to me going on about whatever situation we were in at the time, she said "I think the hardest part of what you do is that it never ends". She could not have been more right. As long as there is greyhound racing, there will be greyhounds in need. As many of you know, for the past several years, Greyhound Companions (GCMO) has worked closely with Teddy Palmer, the founder and director of Halfway Home Greyhound Adoption in Tulsa, OK. If you have adopted a dog from GCMO within the past five years, it almost certainly came through Teddy.
Teddy works harder than anyone I know. Besides operating her own adoption group, she arranges hauls, visits farms and when necessary, helps to close farms. I think that is probably the hardest part of what she does. She is always looking for places to put displaced dogs. One of those places is her West Kennel. The past few years, GCMO has been helping by providing food and boarding for the dogs at that kennel. Teddy often tells me what a relief it is to know she doesn't have to worry about finding the money to feed those hounds. Because of your donations to GCMO, we are able to continue to provide food and shelter for all the dogs at the West Kennel. In the coming days, we will be providing information and pictures, when possible, about some of the dogs your donations have saved. This is only one of many ways GCMO works to save dogs. If you would like for your donation to go directly to this project, please let us know. We would like to thank you for your support in our continuing efforts to save and care for greyhounds in need.
