December 2006-January 2007 GreySave Scoop

GreySave Adoption News –
The last 8 weeks have been very busy ones for GreySave. We have had “Home Comings” for seven wonderful greyhounds, including 2 puppies. So far three have already found their Forever Homes and two are back together again and in a Foster to Adopt home. Our 1st adoptee, Astro Duck, now named Contessa (Tessa) lives in Malibu with her adopted mom. Tessa is a pretty light brindle Arizona chick who has a great deal since she can go to work every day if she wanted with her mom. Scout, one of our amazing Bakersfield boys, has a new family too. He lives in Newbury Park and gets plenty of attention from is very own work from home dad and pre-teen sister. Owen (pictured above), a very handsome white and red boy picked out his new home in La Canada just a week ago and is well entrenched now. He has 4 people to love him, a dad that works at home just to keep him company, a big yard to play in, a little girl pug companion and a neighbor’s cat to tease him. Ace and Pilot, the other two Bakersfield boys, were re-united on Saturday and are living in Santa Monica with their foster dad, getting to go on many walks and just kicking back as greyhounds do. Who could ask for anything more?

As I mentioned GreySave has two quite precious puppies. Maverick our tuxedo fire ball featured on our website and Bandit the sweet and cuddly boy shown napping at the Sherman Oaks Meeting and Greet. Maverick will be available for adoption very soon since he is about to loose that last baby tooth and then can be neutered. Bandit is almost ready for adoption too but has a cough that he can’t quite shake. Both puppies are just wonderful examples of why we all love greyhounds. They are sweet, cuddly, playful and SOOO cute! If you are interested in having a puppy to love please send us a note through the website.

GreySave Home Coming News –
On Saturday the 9th GreySave took their first trip down to the Caliente Race Track in Tijuana Mexico and came home with seven lucky greyhounds that are now know as Santa’s seven reindeers. There are four girls, Comet, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen and three boys, Blitzen, Dasher and Rudolph of course! They are lucky because they will be home for the holidays all cozy and loved. Going to the track and actually having to select the dogs to take home was quite exciting and rewarding but at the same time un-nerving to think about the greyhounds we left behind. Since then, we have comforted each other with the knowledge that the greyhounds we left in the pet kennel are safe. However, they too need to have their Homecoming soon to make room for those about to end their racing careers and to find their safe entry into the pet kennel. To that end GreySave is planning their next trip to Mexico in mid-January so if course if you can foster them please send us an e-mail through the website or call Jeanine Yutani.

Meet & Greet News –
PetCo - GreySave has been accepted into the PetCo Adoption Partner’s program. As a member we are welcomed to hold Meet and Greets at the many PetCo locations and also participate in PetCo quarterly fundraising events, pet adoption days and Greyhound Planet day. If you would like to hold Meet and Greets in your local store and participate in the PetCo generous fundraising programs for GreySave contact Cathy Kiburtz. Cathy will help you get set up with the manager and provide you GreySave’s member number.

PetsMart – GreySave has been tentatively approved to be a member of the PetsMart Adoption Partner’s program. The application was filed with the main office in Phoenix and approved. The final step is to get the local store manager to do a home visit of our “kennel” or in our case a foster home. At this point, I am planning that to be done by the Pasadena store manager however if you have a PetsMart manager in your area that you are familiar with we may be able to expedite the process by having them do the foster home visit. If you think your local manager would help with this process please call the Meet and Greet Coordinator, Cathy Kiburtz.

Fund Raising News –
GreySave now has a Untied Way not-for profit organization number for any business who processed their company’s contributions through the Los Angeles United Way office. If you would like a contribution to GreySave through United Way contact Cathy Kiburtz for the GreySave charity number.
