Friendly reminder to all

ALWAYS have ID on your hounds! This handy tip helped our lost girl get home!
Searchers were looking in a two to five mile radius of her home.

Where was she found?
EIGHTEEN MILES AWAY, and across a very busy interstate!
EIGHTEEN! An area that none of us had even remotely thought of heading towards to search!

Our Facebook posts, crossposts, flyers at businesses/ shelters/ vet clinics, etc were not what brought Think home. Nope, her ID TAGS!!!

If the jingling of ID tags bother you, there are tags that rivet or slide into/ onto the sides of collars. Have their info embroidered onto the side of the collar if you have a cloth or nylon collar.

Military style dog tags come in pairs and you can often order them with different things embossed into them. Some owners put their pets vet info on them, so if the pet is found and taken to the clinic, any emergency services can be pre-arranged to be handled immediately should the lost pet be found and brought in.

Hug your hounds!

Answers to "Think"

She is microchipped!

If found, please call the AGAC emergency / lost Greyhound / found Greyhound number 205 201 0131 so we can help her back to her frantic parents Joe and Donna!

Last seen at 134 pineview rd oneonta, AL (Blount County)

If spotted, DO NOT CHASE!!! CALL HER!!! She lives with cats and small dogs, and loves everyone! She will go up to anyone for attention! Think knows her name and she's more than likely already on someone's couch.

She SHOULD be wearing her collar with her ID tags (one in picture)

RETURNS, RELOCATIONS, RESCUES, and the "help, my hound from the AGRAC is ......"

We no longer have a kennel building/center, but WE ARE STILL HERE FOR OUR HOUNDS AND ADOPTERS!! We work via all volunteers and foster homes.

If you're looking to adopt, please contact Greyhound Pets of America.
When we do have an available Greyhound, we will let everyone know (we don't right now).

We have never and would never abandon our babies. We have always had a back up plan.

If you've adopted from us or have a Sighthound in Alabama, please join our group on Facebook, Birmingham Greyhound Owners.

Its official

Every one of the Greyhounds at the Birmingham Greyhound Racing has found a home or adoption program.

We have a few appointments left to visit with possible families. Should any of those families decline or no show, we will contact the next on the list.

We received probably HUNDREDS of messages, emails, and phone calls. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough Greyhounds to go around.

Thank you everyone

Just because they've found homes doesn't mean we're through.

We still have recuperating orthopedic hounds, a heartworm positive, a pair with idiopathic seizures, who are not medically ready to be available just yet who will still need medical care for a while longer.

We are sorry, but we cannot take anymore applications. We have hundreds right now and no where near enough hounds.

Please visit the National Greyhound Association website for NGA endorsed adoption programs.

Caution

There seems to be a massive flooding of advertising of really cheap Seresto collars from pop up FB companies. Selling them for $21.99 or $22 each plus shipping.

As someone who has ordered these collars through veterinarians, those prices SHOUT that you shouldn't trust them!

FAKE! NOT THE REAL DEAL!

Often times these are mimic knock offs with not the real medicines in them. They can cause massive allergic reactions, chemical reactions possible, or worse.

If you're not getting your flea and tick prevention from your veterinarian (the best), or a veterinarian trusted and recommended pharmacy, or your local pet store ... make SURE it's a trusted online store.

The fake products could mean your pets life!

Having personally witnessed the affects of a fake product and the chemical burns the dog went thorough at a vet clinic, we just wouldn't want it to happen to your pet!

Hi everyone

Jenn here. We have had several folks asking us what's taking so long??

Covid-19 has done more than cause everyone, including us, challenges.

Our awesome veterinarians are busier than normal with the high influx of hounds.

Dr Darcie Odom with VIP has even done spay and neutering through a back injury because of her love for the Greyhounds!

Dr Mark Jandrlich at Central Valley Animal Hospital has been working on our hounds headed to groups

Dr Trammell and Dr Metcalf at Mercy Animal Hospital have been working on hounds headed to groups too

A giant THANK YOU to our vets and vet staff who have been caring for our babies! Thank you for getting to our hounds through all this insanity

Thank you, adopters, who have been patiently waiting through all of this and your understanding for our wonderful veterinarians!

Today one of our unsung heroes has retired.

Church served us well for several years as one of our four "tester cats", helping us figure out who was cat tolerant and who wasn't.

Happy Retirement Sir Winston Churchill-Vinson!

Mushu, Kung Po, and Terriyaki will continue to "work", and will retire to their forever homes later this summer.
