Caliente pet kennel been filling up fast

11/4/2015

In spite of three trips to Caliente lately by So CA greyhound groups there are still 20+ greyhounds waiting to come back to the states.

On Oct 24th Fast Friends brought in 8 or 10. On October 31st the Greyhound Adoption Center picked up 13 for them, Homestretch and Greyhound Friends for Life. And today Fast Friends picked up 3 broken leg greys.

We will be going to the track on Saturday however because of the holiday we are VERY short on foster homes. I think we have only 5 signed up so far. If you are a greyhound adopter and can help by fostering please contact Sandy at 714-342-4193 or Cathy at 626-354-8476 ASAP!! We have to give the track the final count before race time Thursday evening.

Thanks for considering helping for this holiday season.

I am the director of Star City Greyhounds in Roanoke, Virginia. I have a brood that has pups that are racing at Caliente. I don't have to have them, but would really like to see them get into groups. They are Coach Hero(396 races) and Coach Hellion(407 races) I have no idea which kennel they run out of, but would really appreciate them finding a home.

A 5 1/2 year old brindle male named "Hero" came to Greyhound Adoption Center from Caliente on December 4th w/a broken hock. As Coach Hero's last race is listed as November 10, 2015 in Caliente, it seems like a good match. He's on their FB page https://www.facebook.com/Houndsavers/ and more details are at www.houndsavers.org under adoptable dogs. I'm not seeing a good match for Coach Hellion however unless she's on medical hold. I thought age 5 was the "mandatory retirement" age for greyhounds! Greg Geter is listed as their owner.
