Dracula’s Story

I decided to adopt a greyhound when I started looking for my 1st home to buy in the Spring of 2016. I have always had a soft spot for special needs animals and was looking for a greyhound who needed me. I looked at every adoption group in the midwest! In August, I came across American Greyhound and saw they had a younger guy who was going blind, had lost most of his tail to happy tail, and had (has) the perfect name!

Why I Foster by Timon Nimtz

Why do I foster? Fostering takes a lot of work, but American Greyhound makes it convenient, and seeing the foster greyhound come out of his/her shell is beyond rewarding.   The reason why I foster is I love the feeling I get from knowing I've provided a safe place and...
