My wife and I share our home with 3 greyhounds, 3 cats, occasional foster dogs, and devote much of our free time to finding homes for retired racing greyhounds.

Greyhounds arrive for adoption

Bringing in new dogs off the track is always a great reminder of what Buffalo Greyhound Adoption exists to do. We get caught up in the business of Board meetings, the details of organizing events, gathering available volunteers to help, and it can get overwhelming. And then the van arrives with 4 new dogs and they are tired and nervous and beautiful. And we take them into a volunteer’s house and bathe them, trim their nails, check for ticks and flees, and clean their ears. We give them new collars, assign them to a foster home and send them on their way with food and meds. Hopefully in a few weeks they are headed to their new “forever” homes.

Some pictures of the dogs that came in this past weekend.
