Greyhound Adoption League of Texas New Mexico

💯 In March 2023, we welcomed our first retired racer from Australia, Ann. She started a great thing and we have continued to work with Greyhounds As Pets, New South Wales, to welcome even more retiring Aussies. Our most recent group arrived on December 7 and included Billy, Fern, KJ, Lucky, Maddie, Marty, Oscar, and, drum roll please, our 100th Aussie retired racer, Zara! From A to Z, the Aussies have been wonderful additions to the GALT family. So far, 75 found their forever homes and 12 moved on to GALT Central Texas or GALT Arizona to continue their journey. Thirteen are currently in foster homes with us. We aren't stopping at 100. We are working on a transport of another group of eight for mid to late January and will continue to schedule transports, subject to the availability of foster homes, until the summer heat makes it unsafe for the hounds. Importing hounds is a complicated and expensive undertaking. We could not do it without the help of Greyhounds As Pets, NSW, which is a not-for-profit initiative coordinated by Greyhound Racing NSW. Their first flight landed in the USA in January 2023 and they have already helped just over 1,000 hounds head to America to find forever homes. GALT is one of about 25 American adoption groups participating in the program. On hearing that we welcomed our 100th Aussie, our liaison, Russ Feilen, sent us these kind words: To our friends and partners at GALT, congratulations on the arrival of your 100th "Aussie Grey." We thank you for your care, support and passion in finding the "Aussie Greys" the perfect home in retirement. We are only too happy to help! #Greyhounds #AdoptAGreyhound

Welcome, Aussie 8!.mp4

We are thrilled to introduce our latest eight arrivals from Australia! On October 26, Naz and Buddy arrived in New Mexico where they will stay in foster homes until they find their forever homes. Neither of them raced and both will turn three years old later this month. Buddy is an adorable brindle boy and Naz is a sweet black gal. On Halloween, we welcomed the remaining six hounds in Dallas: Art, Charm, Connor, Sandy, Skylar, and Tyler. Art, Connor, and Tyler are boys and Charm, Sandy, and Skylar are girls. Tyler, who is black, is the oldest, turning six in January. White and brindle Skylar is the youngest. She will turn three in February. All are retired racers, except for three year old Art. We are still working on getting photos together for their bios. Watch a slide show of them all here. These eight new arrivals will all be adoptable as soon as we get them check-ups, vaccinations, and any other medical care they need and also get to know them a little better in foster homes. You can help with their expenses by making a gift to our Nitsche Medical Fund. Remember we adopt nationwide to experienced adopters who can come pick up their hound. If you've been hoping you could adopt again, please put in your adoption application now so that we can get started working on it. More Aussies are expected in December! #Greyhounds #NewArrivals
