HELP US GIVE GREYHOUNDS A HELPING HAND

On this Giving Tuesday, there are many causes vying for your attention.

Make Peace With Animals, with its proven ‘track’ record, is a charity worthy of your generosity.

Since 1988 we have placed over 5,500 Greyhounds—and we’re still counting!

We make the most of every dollar as we're an all-volunteer group.

And we take in all kinds of Greyhounds, from the old and the young, to the sick and the well.

Our adoption fee of $675 covers only about half of what we spend on the average dog.

Then there are those we take who have special needs, such as the female who required advanced dental care exceeding $4,000. Or the male who we took in for a routine neuter, only to discover that he was a cryptorchid (neither testicle descended). His vet bill was nearly $2,000.

Here’s the thing: we can’t continue without having you as our partner.

For over 35 years, we have extended a helping hand to these deserving hounds who bring so much joy and companionship and love into peoples' lives.

I hope we can count on you to extend a helping hand to us!

WE'RE ALMOST COMPLETELY THANKFUL
from Cynthia Branigan

If all of our available Greyhounds were safe and snug in their adoptive homes this Thanksgiving, we would be totally thankful. As it is, there's one still left in foster care and for the life of us, we can't figure out why. Perhaps this rreminder will spark the right someone to come forward and make Clover a permanent family member.
Clover (racing name CET Rover) is a darling 58-pound girl who just turned 4 in September. To say that she is joyful and affectionate doesn't come close to describing her personality. Love Bug pretty accurately sums it up. She is equally friendly to people and medium to large-size dogs. She is not, however, cat or small-dog friendly. On neighborhood walks, she is unfazed by other dogs of any size that she meets.
Clover is a girl who needs a good sprint, or to chase after a ball once or twice a day, just to burn off some energy. For that reason, a fenced yard is essential for her. After a burst of action, she's the typical Greyhound who loves to snooze. She sleeps in a crate when her foster people both go out and eats in her crate, too. Otherwise, she roams around and likes to follow her people to see what's going on.
Clover is doing beautifully with the two female Greyhounds in her foster home. The fosters have even said that if they were allowed to have more than two permanent resident dogs in their development, they'd adopt her. Can't get higher praise than that!

CLOVER IS A LOVER!

Think of all the fun you could have playing Count The Spots on Clover! Does she have a hundred? A thousand? There's only one way to find out!
Clover is the dearest, sweetest, most loving girl ever. She just turned 4 years old in September, and is more than ready to get on with the rest of her life.
Clover is doing beautifully in her foster home, gets along well with the two permanent resident female Greyhounds, is clean, eats well, and crates perfectly when her foster parents leave the house. No fuss, no muss.
While Clover is not good with cats or small dogs, she is great with everyone else, human and canine alike.

Clover has a lot of love to give and is hoping someone out there will give her some love in return.

GOOD, GOOD, LEROY BROWN

Four-year-old Leroy, who seems to have been named after the song Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, is anything but bad. In fact, he's more of a zen master or head of state--cool, calm, and collected.
In foster care, he's been the perfect house guest, clean and compliant. Lately he has discovered toys and enjoys quietly flipping them in the air. He's the only animal in the house and seems not to mind the lack of dog companionship. He has met another Greyhound and Springer Spaniel and was fine with them, too.
While Leroy did not pass our cat test, he has met a one-year-old baby and a Yorkshire Terrier and showed no interest in either. While we do not adopt to homes with children under the age of six, we pass along Leroy's reaction to a baby just as an example of his calm temperament.
To top it off, he is a really beautiful, elegant dog. More photos and details are on our Petfinder site:

ADOPTION PENDING! 💜GUESS WHO UNEARTHED A DINOSAUR BONE*?

Big Boy (Mamas Fired Up) is having a swell time gnawing away the hours in his foster home while waiting for his adoptive home to appear. Is yours the right home for him?
As a reminder, this two-year-old, 80-pound boy is loving, affectionate, and has been no trouble as a foster dog. While he might pull suddenly if he sees a squirrel or other small critter while on a walk, that is something that can be easily remedied with a little basic training or a no-pull harness. He's not cat- or small dog-compatible, but he's doing great with both the male and female Greyhound in his foster home.
Did I mention he's also a fine figure of a dog? He is!
*Not a real dinosaur bone.

MEET CLOVER!

We've never met a girl with more of a love for life than Clover (racing name CET Rover). She's so affectionate and outgoing that she kisses everyone she meets. Given half a chance, she might even try to climb into the lap of a stranger.
This 60-pound beauty turned 4 years old on September 20th and is eager to get on with her life!
Clover is housebroken and lets her foster people know if she needs to go out into their fenced yard beyond their regular turn-out times. She is crated when the fosters are not at home and does very well.
Clover is both loving and lovable—except to cats or tiny dogs. She has had no issues with the two permanent resident female Greyhounds in the foster home.
Her ideal home would have a fenced yard as she is an active girl with energy to burn!
She also might enjoy being an ‘only’ dog since her desire to give and receive affection and attention might make another dog feel left out.
Super model beautiful Clover has what it takes to be a loving, loyal companion.

MEET BIG BOY!

80-pound Big Boy (racing name Mamas Fired Up) is certainly big, but he's not especially fired up.
He's a calm, even-keeled fellow who knows how to make himself right at home. His beautiful buckskin-colored brindle coat gleams in the sun and he cuts a dashing figure.
2 ½-year-old Big Boy is getting along well with the two Greyhounds, one male, one female, in his foster home. Big Boy would not be good with cats or small dogs, but he is quite affectionate with people and readily gives kisses.
Overall, he walks well on lead but can pull abruptly if he sees a squirrel or rabbit. This is something that can easily be remedied with a bit of positive reinforcement training and/or a no-pull harness.
On days that his foster dad works from home, Big Boy plays with squeaky toys or rests quietly on a dog bed.

Big Boy has the endearing habit of leaning against your leg when standing, as if to remind you "I'm here!"

MEET LEROY

In French, Le Roi means The King. In English, it has become Leroy, a name not usually associated with royalty. In this case, though, we'll make an exception.
Leroy is generally a calm, dignified boy. When he was at the adoption kennel at the track, the ladies from the main office used to come to the kennel and bring him up to the office just to hang out. He loved it and they did, too!
FF Leroy Brown was born in July of 2021 and weighs about 80 pounds. He is not cat friendly (that's when he's not so calm) and can be strong on lead if he happens to see a rabbit or squirrel.
But Leroy is great with people and with medium to large dogs. He is affectionate but not in a needy way. He has been good when left alone and is a beautiful boy with dark, soulful eyes who goes with the flow.
