They became part of the GU family on February 28th from Australia.
On February 28th, Greyhounds Unlimited, TAGs, and GPA Oklahoma welcomed eight retired Australian greyhounds to Texas. Greyhounds Unlimited was honored to be part of the first Australian greyhounds arriving in Texas through the partnership with GPA National and Greyhound Racing New South Wales/Greyhounds As Pets NSW. The greyhounds arrived late in the afternoon on the 28th, all beautiful hounds and in great shape. GUs volunteers were there to meet them at the airport to help with the transition from the airport to the PawHootz Pet Resort, where they were overnighted. The next day, our volunteers were back out to pick-up the Australian greyhounds and transport them to the kennel. It has been a wonderful experience for all involved.
We are still in dire need of foster homes for our incoming hounds. Foster homes are the bridge that leads to a forever home for our adoptable hounds, giving them a head start on getting accustomed to living in a home instead of a kennel, teaching them all the new and wonderful things they will encounter in a home that they may never have seen before.
If you are ready to give fostering a try, please send an email to mickynielsen@att.net. One of our foster coordinators will contact you to talk about fostering and how you might be able to help, what your obstacles might be and how we might overcome them together. We all want this to be a successful experience for you and your new foster!
The most needed item is Shampoo.
