In Memory of Greyt Greys

Our friends at GALT want you to 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.
By Denise Dubarbier, Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare, London


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.

MANDATORY READING BEFORE ADOPTION
Free, 20 page Greyhound Guide about helping your dog become a happy pet in their new home. To download a copy Greyhound Manual, Children and Greyhounds.
