WARNING to other rescue groups

Be very careful of any large donations you may receive.

GRA recently received a donation by check in the amount of $3,780 from a law firm in Louisiana. A few days after deposit, but before the check cleared, a representative from the law firm contacted GRA, stating that there had been a bookkeeping error and the check was supposed to have been for $2,000. Could GRA kindly remit the balance by cashier’s check right away?

Both the law firm and the representative seemed to check out, so GRA issued a cashier’s check for $1,780. Needless to say, the original check did not clear and GRA lost funds that were much needed for medical treatment of two elderly greyhounds who recently entered our program.

We have since learned that the scammers have used this law firm’s name to commit the same fraud against multiple other rescues. The “representative” has never been affiliated with the law firm.

We all know that scams are out there and we do our best to be vigilant. This operation was smooth and plausible, so be very careful with your donations and never issue a refund before the original check clears.

We are sharing this in hopes it may save another rescue from making the same mistake.

Star is available for adoption in the greater Orlando area! This beautiful boy is black with a white chest. Born in May of 2016, he is the sweetest, most calm, cooperative, and well behaved boy you could ever ask for. We think Star would do best in a home without cats or small dogs. For more information, contact Greyhound Ranch Adoptions.

Boots is available for adoption!

Boots is a 10 year old Greyhound/Great Dane mix. She is very smart and affectionate, and loves giving kisses! This sweet girl has special needs, as she is blind in both eyes. She needs a home or foster with a fenced-in yard and no other cats or small dogs, as she is unsure of her surroundings due to her eye condition.

Her adoption will be limited to the Orlando area only.

Meet Corey!

Corey is a male white and red fawn weighing in the mid-60s pounds. He loves to lean against your leg and is looking for someone who will show him affection and let him get comfortable at his own pace.

He is not suited for a home with cats or small children, but he does well with other greyhounds. A forever home with a female greyhound that is outgoing would be ideal for him.

LOCAL ADOPTIONS IN THE ORLANDO AREA ONLY.

Christmas Eve is Friday! Come let volunteers from Animal Allies and Greyhound Ranch help with your gift wrapping.

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year… donations will be so gratefully accepted. Last year we were unable to wrap gifts due to Covid, so like many other organizations, we are short on funds. Unfortunately, there are still many homeless animals needing help. And while racing has ended at the track, there are still greyhounds looking for homes.

Your support is deeply appreciated. ❤️

Ladybug is looking for you!

If you are out and about and need gift wrapping, we have volunteers setting up in the covered walkway next to the bookstore. You can still get your gift wrapping done while staying dry.

Donations gratefully accepted.

Wonderful post from Michelle at Friends of Greyhounds!! Thank you! 💜🐕💜

Dear Adopters, Donors, and Friends of Friends of Greyhounds,

Yes, Friends of Greyhounds is no longer getting greys to adopt to you. I miss them, too, but helping save 2400 dogs during twenty years of adoption work has left us slower and more financially challenged than when we started. We are letting the newer blood take over. We stayed with it until our local tracks in Hollywood and Miami were closed and we will always be here in case you need us. Things happen and dogs come back but we will be here to help.

MEANTIME!!! I have a good friend in Sanford (Orlando area) who was adopting out greyhounds before I even met one. Leslie Woliner and her husband founded Greyhound Ranch in Sanford and it is an awesome setup. We have had the privilege of getting Orlando area dogs through her off and on for 13 years now!

The other day, Leslie called and she is looking for good people who want to adopt greyhounds. She gets dogs from the surrounding tracks but she ALSO gets dogs from the dog farms that are very plentiful in her area.

The farms and kennels are sorting through dogs because this is probably their last season of racing. They are bringing in the young ones to see if it’s worth sending them to other tracks and when they aren’t super-stars, they are looking for homes. Leslie says she is overloaded and she tells me that she has the most wonderful assortment of dogs that you could ever want! She even has young ones and white ones and those have always been in huge demand. (I wish I could get Jerry up there!!)

So if you have been considering another greyhound adoption, please contact Leslie and make arrangements to meet the dogs she has in her kennels. Her setup is really great and she gets some amazing dogs. Her contact info is below so call her to meet the dogs. The house/ranch can be a little tricky to find but it’s worth hunting for. Remember that FoG will be here to help in any way we can no matter who you adopted the dog through. Please keep me posted if you go and I want pictures of your new dog. Or dogs!
