   Join us on Saturday, October 30th, at the Avalon Manor, in Merrillville, Indiana,
as American Greyhound hosts our 1st annual auction, “Winning Hearts, not
Races”.  The evening will begin at 5:00 PM, with a spectacular silent auction,
champagne fountain, and open bar. Following the silent auction we will be seated
for dinner and begin our exciting live auction.
   
   This event is going to be the most important event in our organizations
history.  Please join us and help us improve our rescue efforts on behalf of the
racing greyhound.

You do not want to miss being a part of this exciting and fun event! Please make
your reservations today. ~
Reservations~

American Greyhound has seen an unprecedented increase in the number of retired racers
we are able to rescue and place into permanent homes in the last 6 months.  By the end of
July we expect to be very close to 100 dogs rescued for the year.  Our prison partnership
with Second Chance at Life has also seen a steady growth to 9 dogs in the prison at all
times and those coming off the prison moving into adoptive homes quickly.
As a result of this fantastic growth, we are looking for more people who want to be a part of
this burgeoning organization.  We can always use your help, and maybe some your skills
are exactly what we need!  A few of the positions we would like to see filled are:        

-Mentoring- We already have a few people in place, but would like to add a couple more.  
Mentors would help our adoptive families with problems that arise with their hounds.  
Maybe you’ve experienced some of these issues with your hound, and now are able to
pass your knowledge on to someone else.

If you are interested in any of these positions, give Jeff Coggins a call at (219)771-0892
or e-mail at president@americangreyhound.org .  We are becoming more and more
successful at what we do, and want more and more people involved with doing it.  In the
past there has always been a small group of big gears turning the American Greyhound
machine.  In the future, we want dozens and dozens of small cogs turning that machine.
And remember, this is “YOUR” rescue organization.  Here are a few of the things you can do to help:
ADOPT  
- Consider adopting  ( Adoption Form ) one (or more) of our available greyhounds.  I’ve found that when no one else likes me, they still do!

BECOME A FOSTER
- Even if it is just once or twice a year.  You’ll be making a difference in some wonderful hound’s life. ( Foster Application )

ATTEND OUR EVENTS
- As always, we’ll be out at the Petco stores and local fairs and fests.  Take a look at our events page for times and locations.

- Make plans to attend our 1st Annual American Greyhound Auction on October 30th.,we’re planning on a greyt time!

-And, of course, don’t forget our annual picnic.  If you’ve been to one of them, you’ll never want to miss another (sometime in mid-September)!
