I wanted to take a moment and give an update to everyone who has come forward about the potential to foster long term for us.
As many of you may have seen, there was a horrible situation that unfolded in Oklahoma earlier this week involving greyhounds and lurchers that had been abandoned on a farm. The state of these dogs were beyond horrible. Some were found deceased on the property and some have since passed in vet care due to their already deteriorated condition.
Many individual volunteers, greyhound rehoming groups, transporters and vets, from multiple states, are involved to save as many of these dogs as is humanly possible. The survivors are fighting to live with every thing they have left in them.
The few survivors that could be easily transported and cared for, have been placed in close by greyhound groups and foster care homes. The remaining survivors, need so much more specialized care, have been transported where they can be receiving that care by specialists. They need it so bad. The vet bills are really stacking up in the thousands of dollars for the 18 survivors.
At this time, GPA LA/MS will not be getting a chance to foster a few of these desperately sick greyhounds. Thank you to everyone that volunteered to open their homes by applying to foster.
The care they need is expensive and long term. If you can see your way to donate, every penny will go to support and care for the Oklahoma dogs. It has taken the entire “greyhound villages” across the country that have pulled together and worked miracles for the survivors .
I’ve included links to our partners that are working in hand with the dogs that were confiscated. 🐾💔
If you would still be interested in fostering at a future time, we definitely welcome that, and are always looking for people willing to open their homes and hearts to these amazing dogs for a moment or a little longer.
Thank you, again, for being the amazing “greyhound village” you are! That is one thing that is so special about owning a grey- you are part of an entire community and are never alone. Please feel free to reach out to us if you are ever in need of something.
