hear this...enjoy!
Jake
I
didn’t really want you, I wasn’t really
sure,
And I’ll admit I had my doubts,
When
you came through that door. Not small, or cute, or
fluffy,
With big, soft puppy eyes, But tall,
and thin, and bony,
With bald, pink, bulging
thighs.You weren’t the kind I had in mind,
Not
in any way,“ Perhaps it would be better if I took
you back today,
Before we know each other, It
really won’t be kind,
To keep you here for one
more day, And then to change my mind.
” But
against my better judgment, I decide you could
stay,
And quickly I discovered you were kind in
every way,
Your gentleness and patience, they
really stole the show,
“ Why these dogs are
wonderful,
I must let others know!”For you’re
my gentle giant,
Who just needed the chance, To
show us all what you could be,
To wipe away
that history,
And dispel our preconceptions,
which put us all to shame,
And so we come to
know and love,
What lies beneath that frame.
And now I’ve come to understand,
What I missed
right at the start,
That Greyhounds need that
big deep chest,
To house their generous
heart.

WHO ARE WE
Southern Alberta Greyhound Association
is where Greyhound adoption is so much more than
just placing Greyhounds in adoptive homes. SAGA
was founded by Mark Abrams in January 2003. SAGA
is completely run by volunteers.
BACKGROUND OF WHERE
OUR DOGS COME FROM
All
Greyhounds adopted through SAGA are born and bred
as National Greyhound Association, Greyhounds. All
have dual tattoos in their ears which can trace
their ancestry. These Greyhounds have all been
retired from their racing career. SAGA works
specifically with Kennel Owners, Greyhound Tracks
and American Adoption Groups, throughout the
United States to attain Greyhounds in need of
adoptive homes. To date we
have placed greyhounds from Kansas, Wisconsin,
North Carolina, West Virginia, Florida, Texas and
Connecticut.
