In honor of International Dog Day, show us your hounds and their friends. We love to see those happy faces!
Join us at Debonne Vineyards in Madison, Ohio on Wednesday, 8/28 from 5pm to 8pm. GAO will receive 10% of food purchases, 50 cents per glass and $1 per bottle of wine purchased. Well-behaved hounds are welcome too!
If you have applied to adopt but it has been quite a while because we had few hounds, would you send an email to [email protected] to let us know youโre still interested?
Weโve contacted several people who have told us they chose to adopt elsewhere instead of waiting. We understand. However we have several hounds now and would love to find homes for them so please circle back with us.
Beautiful brood mama Wobbles (Wobble Baby) would love to meet you.
Say hello to Patch. Heโs a four-year-old hound from Ireland looking for his forever home. As you can see, heโs one smart and playful boy.
THE GREYHOUNDS WOULD LOVE TO GO FOR A WALK!
If you have time to play with the dogs in the front fenced area or go for a walk, you'd make a greyhound very happy! This invitation's open any time the weather's nice! Just give us a call!

Rumor has it that Rapunzel is doing well in her foster home and she loves going out on the boat.

Ever wonder why so many greyhounds are blood donors? The greyhound is known as a Universal Donor! Over 85% of the greyhounds have a blood type that allows their blood to be used in all other dogs. Add that to the fact that a greyhound's blood is unusually rich in red blood cells and they have a generally calm demeanor, making them excellent donors!
For more information on blood donation visit https://greyhoundhealthinitiative.org/blood-bank/ or check out their page at Blood Bank - Greyhound Health Initiative
