GreySave is a completely volunteer-staffed Southern California based 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Public Benefit Charity. All donations made to GreySave are tax deductible. GreySave is supported primarily through fundraising events and donations/gifts from individuals, organizations and businesses. If you would like to help GreySave through a donation, please use the button below. Our adoption fee of $275 does not cover all of the costs associated with getting and preparing a greyhound for adoption. It costs GreySave an average of $450 per dog, excluding the few that need serious medical attention, to prepare your dog for you. We have spent thousands of dollars on some dogs needing special medical attention. The "Donate" button below will take you to PayPal. You'll be able to choose to pay either with a PayPal account or, by major credit card. You don't need a PayPal account. You may also send a check to: GreySave Donations
(Image at right: an x-ray of the repair of GreySave greyhound Annette's broken hock, showing the inserted metal plate/screws.) GreySave has established a special fund for dogs with extraordinary medical requirements. It's called the GreytLove Fund. Monies donated to this fund are used exclusively for our foster greyhounds with special medical needs. We need your help to make sure that they can get the care they so desperately need and deserve. Eight to 10 percent of the greyhounds we take in have extraordinary medical needs that can cost $1,000 or more per dog. The majority are broken legs. Breaks come in several degrees of severity, requiring different levels of treatment:
Exceptional illnesses are somewhat less common than broken legs. These illnesses include excessive post-surgical bleeding, Valley Fever, Tick Borne diseases, and exposure to toxins. Veterinary services and medicines in these cases are expensive and recovery time varies greatly. But our costs average $2,500 per severely-ill greyhound. Each greyhound, each injury, and each illness is unique, but our goal is always the same: restore the animal to health so he can become part of a loving family and lead a full, exuberant life. We need your help to do that.

At times GreySave brings in a dog with extraordinary
medical needs -- whether for a broken leg, a long-term illness, or
due to some other injury or accident. The medical costs for healing these greyhounds can be very high. In fact, it may cost 15 to 20 times more to prepare one of our special “medical” greyhounds for adoption than it does to prepare a healthy dog. But leaving these ill and injured dogs behind is not an option since we know that once they are healthy again, they can lead long, happy lives.
To do so, go to the Ralphs Community Program page at
