Another successful open house
GAC's monthly open house went overtime! So many visitor's showed up we had to extend the open house hours. Many of our guests were repeat visitors, and they weren't disappointed. Lots of greyhounds, lots of petting, lots of fun. By the end of the day the greyhounds were pretty tired, but they all still need to go to their forever homes.
Our next open house is scheduled for June 17, 2012, from 1:00-3:00pm. The only thing you need to do is bring the family and show up. Best of all it's free!
If you can't adopt a greyhound, please help out with a donation. We can't do it without YOU. The greyhounds thank you.

The story of Carson
The (Lost) Greyhound
Three years ago today Carson arrived at the Greyhound Adoption Center having been rescued from an extraordinarily horrible hoarding situation. Two people were charged and convicted of 14 counts of animal cruelty. After the jury reached its verdict, multiple rescue groups were allowed to go in and seize 195 animals from the property. It took them six weeks to finalize the rescue project.
As you might imagine, Carson came to us with many social and behavior issues and has needed this time with us to enable him to become a well balanced dog ready for adoption. He needs a very special home which, unfortunatly continues to elude him. He's been with us a very long time and he sometimes has issues with other dogs. But Carson loves the people he knows. He makes cute noises for them and will try to get himself in your arms. He loves his caretakers and is very happy at GAC and our staff members and volunteers are committed to giving him a wonderful life with extra time out for runs in the agility field, long walks up the country road with greyhound friends, and field trips.
We are celebrating his "Gotcha Day" for the next month! Volunteers, have been giving Carson some special attention. He hints that he really likes stuffed animals and rawhides, (made in the USA).
You can help make "Happy Gotcha Day Carson" a real success by making a donation. Any amount will help this very special and loving greyhound, along with all the others that are still looking or good homes and families.
