This painting, "Home At Last" captures the essence of a greyhound's journey, culminating in the peace and comfort of a forever home. It features a graceful fawn greyhound resting with quiet dignity, symbolizing the resilience and beauty of these gentle souls. Stretched out elegantly, the greyhound’s serene expression and soft, soulful brown eyes gaze warmly at the viewer, inviting a connection. Painted in warm golden hues, the smooth, short coat contrasts with subtle shadows that highlight the dog’s muscular yet gentle frame.
The background is a soft blend of cool blues, evoking a dreamlike calm, as though the greyhound has found a haven in this tranquil space. Smooth, textured brushstrokes create depth while letting the viewer focus entirely on the noble figure of the dog. The muted background colors enhance the golden warmth of the greyhound, making it the heart of the composition and a tribute to the beauty of each dog’s journey to their forever family.
This beautiful painting holds special significance, as it not only captures the spirit of greyhounds finding their forever homes but also honors the legacy of a beloved artist who first brought this vision to life. The original artist, Denise Saleh, whose talent and compassion were the inspiration behind this program, recently passed away. Her art spoke to the journey of these gentle dogs, and her dedication to their welfare touched many hearts.
In a touching tribute, a new artist has stepped forward, raising her hand to carry on this meaningful work. With each brushstroke, she honors her predecessor's memory, blending her own unique style with the warmth and grace that defines this collection. This painting, and others in this series, stand as a testament to resilience—of both the dogs and the people who care so deeply for them. Each piece is a reminder of the love and dedication that continues to fuel our mission, making this collection a cherished part of our fundraiser and a tribute to those who give so much to these beautiful animals.
The painting, “Home at last" is a 30" x 24" oil painting on deep stretched canvas, with gallery finished edges by local artist and volunteer, Melissa DeCarlo. This piece may be hung as is or framed.
** The drawing will be held at the Frisco Meet and Greet on Saturday, January 11, 2025. You do not have to be present to win. **
** ONLINE SALES end at 10:00 PM Central on Thursday, January 9, 2025

Greyhounds Unlimited is in constant need of foster homes for our greyhounds. By opening your home to foster, you help these dogs transition from kennel life to the experience of living inside a home. It can be a deeply rewarding, albeit occasionally challenging, experience.
If you're considering fostering, please reach out to greytfundraising@gmail.com. One of our foster coordinators will connect with you to discuss fostering and how you can contribute. We'll address any obstacles together to ensure a successful experience for you and your new foster companion!
Chewy.com is deeply committed to helping shelters and rescues find forever homes for every pet. They have created a program where you can donate a “Chew Gives Back eGift Card” or purchase from our Wish List and have it shipped directly to us. You can help us make an even greater impact by donating items through Wish List or adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue near you.
