GALTx eNews: January Starts Off With A Bang!Last week was a block buster for our intake team with 25 new hounds arriving! On January 3rd, we welcomed 16 retiring racers from West Palm Beach: Abe, Maddie, Vibes, Shine, Lassie, Ginger, Stella, Bailey, Eva. Kisses, Ashley, Gypsy, Riddle, Hickory, Homer and Ira! Four of these hounds are boys and 12 are girls and they are all between one and four years old.And the retiring racers didn’t stop running in the door there! At 3:30 in the morning on Friday, we welcomed another seven retiring racers from West Palm Beach: Silver, Butter, Candy, Oden, Togo, Haddy and Harry. Four of these hounds are male and three are female. They are all around two or three years old. We can’t thank our volunteers enough for the sleepless night helping these hounds get settled in our kennel.On Thursday, we welcomed two sweet Greyhound mixes, eight year old Essie (pictured) and Marcie. These sweet girls were surrendered by their owner as he was not able to care for them. The hounds had been living in a shed without a lot of interaction for a couple of years. Their owner had taken them in when their prior owner passed and they had no where else to go. They are both super sweet girls much in need of some tender loving care. We suspect that they are Greyhound mixed with Rhodesian Ridgeback, but DNA test results are still pending.Look for these hounds on GALT’s available list once their medical procedures are completed and a foster home secured. The typical retired racer costs GALT nearly $800 in veterinary expenses before adoption, and we suspect Essie or Marcie might have some health issues needing treatment. We anticipate our veterinary costs for these 25 hounds will exceed $20,000. Please consider helping them on their journey home forever with a donation here.Donate1/15/2021 -- source link
