Mark became involved with Greyhounds after the death of one of his Collies in 1997. Something tweaked in his head about adopting a retired racing Greyhound. Three weeks later after much research, Mark adopted his first Greyhound, Spikey.

Mark continued his work with Greyhounds in educating the public and promoting their adoption/placement, while adopting more Greyhounds of his own.

In the Fall of 2002, other Greyhound adopters encouraged Mark to make a vision of Greyhound adoption/placement into a reality and start his own group.

With the overwhelming support of the people around him, a vision became a reality and SAGA was born.

Garth Hilton, a wonderful man and Greyhound adopter, continues to motivate Mark in his endeavours. "I thank him for his encouragement and guidance to do what is right. His spirit continues to be a major part of SAGA."
