Dear Members and Friends of GPA/MD,

Adoptions are down everywhere and this has increased the number of Greyhounds needing to be moved from various tracks across the U.S. Another concern is tracks that have closed for the season where there are still many Greyhounds left in limbo.

Since January, 2006 our group has been bringing in extra Greyhounds and boarding them until homes can be found. We have been successful in finding good homes in a reasonable amount of time and our hope is to bring in more of these Greyhounds so they, too, can experience the joy of becoming beloved companions. Foster homes are desperately needed in order for us to continue these efforts.

If you are in a position to foster or you're thinking about adopting a new family member, please let us know. If our foster dogs should incur medical expenses, we will pay those. We supply heartworm meds, provide a crate if needed, and we will also pay for dog food. Our representatives are always available for any questions or concerns. Working with Greyhounds and those who care for them is important to us.

Our commitment to accept Greyhounds found in shelters and those from families who can no longer keep them has not changed. Many of these dogs are older, have special needs, and are fortunate to be well cared for in the foster homes we currently have.

Please help us further. There are so many track Greyhounds that have no place to go.
