Just by looking at the pictures your heart breaks.
"Donahue came to us recently from one of the farms here in Florida. The farm manager had told the trainer to send the dog back to her after he went down in a race at the end of May and there was a chance he had a broken hock. Instead of sending him back, he raced him twice more. Once Donahue did get back to the farm there was a question as to whether the leg was fractured or not. One vet determined that it was broken and placed the dog in a splint. When the farm manager took the dog back for a bandage change she was told to take him home, it was way too soon to change the bandage. The following week the dog stopped using his leg completely....he then tried to chew his leg and the bandage off."
Donahue is now living in a place called "Grey Haven" The couples who owns it, have saved hundreds of greyhounds. Just recently, the husband, Bob, died. Now, the wife has about 50 injured, abused, abandoned, or unwanted greyhounds. She is retired and doesn't have a job. I think she could really use some extra help. She now lives in a tralior shared with 15 of her greys. Litterally, the greyhounds are sleeping wherever there is extra space. The other 35 are living in an outside kennal right off her house.
As you would exspect, it's EXTREMELY expensive to feed 50 dogs, pay for vet bills, pay for extra expensive vet bills for the special needs greyhounds, and keep the electricity going in her house.
I have been there to help her out. Believe me, a few extra blankets would work WONDERS for her. Exspecially, Donahue who is a special need greyhound and has many vet bills.
Please have a heart!  |  |  | |  |
