It is with great sadness that we bid a fond farewell to Michelle Anderson after eleven years as GALT’s exceptional Social Media Manager.

Many people don’t realize the immense time, dedication, and emotional investment required to manage social media for a large nonprofit organization. Michelle volunteered her time and gave her heart, sweat, and yes—sometimes tears—to ensure GALT’s social media presence was not only professional, but consistently above and beyond most others.

I personally, was incredibly fortunate to assist Michelle for many of those years. What I learned from her is invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside someone so talented, committed, and generous.

Please join me in thanking Michelle for her eleven years of dedication and excellence. These are shoes that truly cannot be filled, and she will be greatly missed.

Wishing you all the best Michelle!

💔 Our condolences to Tooch's friends and family on her recent crossing of the rainbow bridge (fka Nino's C Tooch, GALT #3451, May 8, 2013, to December 25, 2025). Tooch loved everyone and everyone loved her right back. She was her Mom's best co-wagger, always arriving early to ensure she got the best bed in the office. This sweet and affectionate girl will be missed dearly by Crystal Christensen and Matt Muise.

Mack knows 2026 is gonna be his year to find the perfect forever home. Can you give him a hand with a share? Read more:

According to his Wisdom Panel DNA, Mack is a combination of 9 different breeds, and he inherited traits from all of them!

The Sighthound Breeds (46%), made up of Greyhound, Borzoi and Polish Greyhound

The Guard Dog Breeds (39%), including American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and Perro de Presa Canario

The (non-sight) Hound Breed/ Herding Breeds (15%), and a smattering of Boxer, Catahoula Leopard Dog and Australian Cattle Dog

Even though he’s over a year old, Mack is all puppy! He has learned some manners in his foster home. He has never had an accident in the house and learned the dog door by simply following his canine friends on his first day! No one was more surprised than Mack to find himself outside!

He knows where his food bowl is and does happy twirlies when he sees his meals on their way to his spot. He will sit on command and even if not commanded to sit, will do so if a treat is on its way. He learns quickly and is very motivated to please his people.

Mack and his 25 lb foster dog sister put on quite a show at least twice a day when they play tug of war, King of the Couch, and tag. He will play growl, bark and leap over obstacles while playing, to the delight of all. He enjoys grabbing the handle of his playmate’s halter to engage her in play, and once he has her attention, it’s all fun for both!

He is a joyful, happy boy who would do best in a home with a fenced yard and lots of chew toys to play with, and if you have kids, Mack would love to have them play with him too. He is rambunctious, so no little kids, please. He doesn’t yet know his strength.

Mack can be overwhelmed when new people and dogs come to visit, so a muzzle and slow introductions are needed. He wants to jump up to kiss people on the mouth, and can bowl over anyone not ready! This exuberant behavior will decrease eventually with training and maturity. He loves all dogs and all people equally when he meets them inside.

Mack does have an affinity for paper products, so you will quickly learn that tissues, toilet paper, paper towels and paper can be irresistible to him. At first Mack shredded every paper product he was able to get his mouth on and had to be muzzled when foster mom was out of the house.This habit has started to ease up, and lately Mack has been trusted without a muzzle when left alone in the house. He hasn’t shredded anything in weeks!

Mack will alert you of any dogs or people at the door or on the other side of the backyard fence; he does listen well to verbal commands to “hush” and will expect praise and pets for his superior protection skills. Please, NO apartment living for Mack!

Mack loves to roach and will sleep startle at times, and has never been aggressive in any way.

Now for his most interesting quirk: Mack does not appreciate any animals who suddenly appear on his TV. If you watch Animal Planet, Dr. Pol or even some Subaru commercials, he will tell off the interlopers as if they are right there in his territory. Walking Mack can be challenging so leash training for both of you is needed. He will need a strong grip on his leash when other dogs dare to be sharing his sidewalk. He isn’t wanting to give any of them trouble, he just wants to be sure they know he is the boss.

If you want a dog that will look at you with the most adoring, almost human eyes, will want to spoon with you in bed and cuddle with you on the couch, (he thinks he’s a lap dog), play with you and be your best friend and protector in a goofy, non threatening way – this is your boy. Mack will do best in a home with an active family, a yard and other dogs who want to play. He is too excitable to live with young kids or older adults. Also, Mack cannot live with cats. He deserves a long, happy, healthy life in a home that will love him for who he is, quirks and all!

Greyhound Heidi is seeking a forever home without cats or small dogs. Read more about her: Heidi is a beautiful four-year-old girl who is waiting for the right home. Initially a bit shy, she quickly blossomed showing her playful side as she explored all the toys and darted around the yard. To ensure her safety during walks, it’s recommended to use a harness, as her high prey drive makes her prone to pulling if she sees a bunny or squirrel. No cats or small dogs for this stunning girl.

Heidi will thrive as an only dog, where she can be the center of attention. Not only is she a hearty eater who eagerly barks to remind you when it’s time for breakfast and dinner, her house manners are excellent. Heidi has shown no interest in chewing inappropriately, and she needed just one prompt to learn that potty time is outside. She doesn’t counter-surf and she willingly crates when we go out, displaying no separation anxiety. Storms and loud noises don’t faze her at all. Car rides are a highlight of her day. She jumps right in and out on her own, and either sits and looks out the window or goes to sleep.

Heidi is learning to crave affection and she comes to us for tummy rubs and ear scritchies more and more often. She’s a joyful girl, full of fun and enthusiasm for new adventures. If you’re looking for a girl who will become your loving companion, you must meet Heidi!
