Guess What Is Coming In From Texas!!
Puppies AGAIN?!?!
We have five puppies coming in from Texas via a Kansas haul. There are four girls and one boy. They are all brindle, but the boy has a black face and a white stripe going down his nose. They were born on June 2, 2010. We will be announcing their arrival date soon.
Urgent Update: The hauler has decided to stay overnight. They will not be arriving until Sunday, August 29, at 8:00 AM. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The only boy in the litter. Cute as a button and loves to play!!
Two of the little girls. Can't you smell the puppy breath?
The other two sisters at play. Too cute for words!

Two Brood Sister:
Monarch (Bohemian Monarch) - 9.5 year old black female. She ran 158 races during her career and had 13 offspring as a brood mom. She is described as reserved (not shy) and laid back, a very sweet girl.
Regent (Bohemian Regent) - 9.5 year old black female. She only had 17 race, however, she was the winner of the 2003 Sarasota Derby. She had 22 offspring in her very productive brood career. She is described as active and happy.
The Boys Coming From Kansas

Are You Thinking About Adopting A Greyhound?
Greyhound Friends of Augusta (Georgia) posted a link from their site to a song called "The Race" by Matt Dahan. Matt wrote the song for his family's two adopted greyhounds. After listening to the song, group volunteer, Alan Jackson purchased it, wrote out the lyrics, timed the song and scoured the internet looking for appropriate photos to make a slideshow video. After viewing the video, Matt gave Alan permission to use it to promote greyhound adoption. The original video may be viewed on YouTube.
Please remember that adopting a retired racing greyhound is a life long commitment and your decision should not be taken lightly. We recommend that you read "Retired Racing Greyhounds For Dummies" by Lee Livingood. Come out to the kennel and talk to some of our volunteers. Call us with your questions, (856) 292-8780. Even if you adopt from another agency, try to get as many opinions and facts before you make the commitment. Greyhounds are pack animals and they bond very quickly with their new pack, your family. To adopt a greyhound and return them would break their heart and spirit, after all you have rejected them.
You can now fill out your application and submit it on-line. Go to the bottom of the "Adoption" page or the top of the "Adopt Me" page to submit your application on-line. Or print out our application at the bottom of the "Adopt Me" page.
Why are you lurking on the computer? Don't be afraid, come on out to the kennel and see the greyhounds for yourself. Are you afraid to fall in love?
Please Note: The Kennel will be closed on Wednesdays.
Hound Spotlight
Abney is a four and a half brindle male. He is registered with the National Greyhound Association and trained to race, however, he never officially competed at a track. He has tested older kid (10+) and other large breed friendly. Abney was in a home, but he had a hard time adjusting to being in a home with a small child. He is very playful and loves to go out for walks. We believe that Abney would do best in a home with older or no children living there. He would love to have a backyard to run around in or someone who likes to go out for long walks. Abney has been in our kennel for awhile, please don't make him wait much longer.
Abney is being sponsored by:
Reverend Marshall Shelly - Merry Christmas Love, Mike
Vicki Fannon - in loving memory of Blizzard
Planning Your Holiday or Summer Vacation?
Don't Forget The Furkids!!
Let Greyhound Angels Adoption watch your furkids for you. We provide boarding and grooming for all greyhounds and their other breed friends. We offer your furkids a climate controlled (air conditioned and heated), fully licensed facility. We also provide around the clock staffing for their safety and your piece of mind!!
All furkids that board with us will be able to play the day away in our indoor 20 ft. X 60 ft. playroom complete with toys, beds, and blankets. They will have a playgroup in the morning and in the afternoon. All playtime is supervised so that your greyhounds and their other breed friends are safe. Plus a relaxing leash walk before dinner. It will be their vacation while you are on vacation.
We do not charge extra for medication administration, to feed your dog a special diet, playtime, or to show them plenty of love and attention. Any greyhound staying seven nights will get a free spa day before they go home. They will receive a free oatmeal medicated bath, nail clipping, and ear cleaning.
Maybe your greyhound will find a friend to take home with them. We provide a pick your friend service. If you are looking for another greyhound, we will help your greyhound find a friend while they stay here. By the time they go home together, they are already buddies.
Space is limited for boarding so that we may provide our vacationing greyhounds with plenty of attention and love. Please call the kennel at (856) 292-8780 to make your reservations.
We also provide Spa Day Services for greyhounds. You can call to make your appointment or just stop in with your greyhound.

Help GAA Find Our Forever Home GAA is currently looking for a local property to open our forever home. Our ultimate goal is to have our own kennel with plenty of land to let our greyhounds do what they do best...run. We will also be establishing a fenced in Fun Run for all, no matter what agency they adopted through, greyhound adopters to bring their greyhounds for play dates. Please help us establish this "Greyhound Utopia". Click Here to print out the Land Fund Pages and Donate. |

Opportunities
We have an open door policy at Greyhound Angels Adoption. We love to have volunteers come out anytime to help with the greyhounds waiting for forever homes. We can use help at anytime of the day, seven days a week. Call (856) 292-8780 to find out all about our Volunteer Opportunities.
