LOOKING FOR LOVE? NEW GREYS ARRIVING ON VALENTINE'S DAY!   We are looking forward to welcoming 15 greyhounds who will be arriving on February 13th from Alabama.  They are lucky but we are fortunate to be able to take them into our Greyhound Friends family. Click here for Sneak Peeks. All of these dogs will be featured at the Valentine's Adoption Day on Sunday, February 14th.  If you are looking to adopt a first greyhound or add to your family of greyhounds, now is a perfect opportunity.   Please click here for Adoption flyer. If you have thought about fostering, now is the perfect time to help another greyhound.  Just look at your greyhound lying on his/her bed and consider opening your home to another greyhound, even just to foster.  You will make a big difference in their lives and I know that you will be enriched too. Contact Linda at 732-356-4370 or Lelyman10@comcast.net for any information.
