His name is David. He uses his 1 braincell to think about chicken.

Robert recently won first place at pups in the parks best dressed event 🐾

He strutted his stuff around the arena and went home very pleased with himself with his blue ribbon and new prizes!

We're saying goodbye to Mickey tomorrow as he's at the point with his illness that it would be completely unfair to keep him going on a load of meds. 

I'm glad that he's been happy and healthy for seven of the eight years we've had him and twelve is a decent age, but it's still a bit shit, as he doesn't deserve to be in any pain.

He was never the smartest dog, but he loved everyone he met, apart from squirrels...and Hansel...he tolerated small children I suppose. He hates squirrels and will do until his last breath.

My one wish for him is that he gets to come back as his true form; a sloth. Until then, I'm sure he'll enjoy haunting Hansel.

Adopting him was one of the best things we ever did 💜

Love is like a wildflower garden, there’s all sorts of colours to be found 🌈

Today is the last day of Pride Month, and what better way to mark it than a colourful rainbow of hounds in a rainbow wildflower garden! 🌸 Us Greyhounds come in all colours and sizes, and we don’t care who our humans love as long as they love us too! There’s no room for hate or bigotry in our Rescue Hound Pack (unless it’s hating Greyhound Racing of course! ❌)!

We hope everyone had a joyous Pride Month! Stay Loud and Proud 🌈

GALTx eNews: Twyla's Road To Recovery

Last week, our longtime supporter and stray savior called to let us know she trapped another hound, Twyla, near Mansfield, Texas. Twyla was in rough shape and went immediately to the local emergency vet for an overnight stay.

Twyla is about 2.5 years old. On arrival, she weighed an emaciated 31 pounds. She presented with anemia and demodectic mange. At 19, her hematocrit (percentage of red blood cells) was just barely above the level at which she would have needed a transfusion. She also tested positive for a heavy load of hookworms and whipworms. Her initial tests for tick borne disease and heartworm were also positive. A subsequent heartworm test turned out to be negative, so we will test again in a few weeks. We are still in the process of confirming her results for tick borne disease.

After her overnight stay, Twyla moved to her foster home where she explored a little and discovered the virtues of dog beds. She immediately started her treatment with dewormer, Bravecto, an anti-diarrheal, and two antibiotics. She eats a special diet of biome food with multiple small meals each day so that she can safely regain weight. She also receives medicated shampoos to help with her mange. After a few days, we added Apoquel and a calming mousse to her treatment plan to help with her itchy skin.

On April 17th, Twyla returned to the vet to stay for observation for a short time. The vet reports she is eating well and is comfortable. Her anemia is improving and her hematocrit is now at 26! She has also gained a few pounds, now weighing in at 34! She will soon move back to her foster home for the duration of her recovery. We are thrilled at her improvement and can't wait to share more photos of her progress!

Of course, stories like Twyla's only have happy endings because of the loving care of our dedicated volunteers and the donors who help us pay the vet bills. We send our sincere thanks to her rescuer, first foster family, and all who have already donated to help Twyla. If you would like to contribute, please consider giving to Twyla's Recovery Fundraiser on Facebook or on our website.

It’s an old pic I did to Christmas. And I know Christmas is over. But I like it. So here it is.

I'm trying to pack but my dog fell asleep on me looking like this so I watched two episodes of windbreakers instead. :)

Crazy dog.

Why is it so specific.
