ITEMS NEEDED

Crates! Greyhounds need crates that stand at least 35" high. These are no longer being sold in local pet stores. If you have a crate you no longer use and it's in good condition, we'll happily buy it from you or gratefully accept your donation. Our supplier is currently behind in shipments and crates are essential for many greyhounds to adjust in their new homes.

6' nylon leashes - we always seem to need leashes to walk the dogs!

Cheap laundry detergent and bleach

Driveway alarm - where an alarm or bell sounds at the house when someone pulls in the driveway

Someone with the capacity to make volume copies for us

Dog Treats - hard biscuits preferred

Paper For Computer Printer

Blankets (comforters from Salvation Army or Goodwill are great!)

Paper towels

GPS Collar(s)

Envelopes; Office Supplies; postage stamps

PineSol cleaner (pine scented, please!)

Please contact Linda Perko at 440.543.6256 or 800.269.1148 or rjrjlp@aol.com

Thank you for your support!


At Greyhound Adoption of Ohio Inc., our greatest need is for Sponsors for greyhounds awaiting placement in loving homes. The average stay for each greyhound at GAO Inc. after they retire from the racetrack is 2-4 weeks. This gives the greyhound time to be spayed or neutered, recover from the surgery, and begin to become acclimated to home life. Some stays are shorter and many are longer to allow an injured or neglected greyhound time to regain his or her health before placement.

Sponsors are always needed to help defray the significant costs associated with readying a retired racer for placement. Each dog arriving at GAO Inc. is spayed or neutered, given vaccinations for distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, parvovirus, bordatella and rabies, tested for heartworm, de-wormed, and given a thorough dental cleaning. Additional costs are continuously incurred until the retiree is placed in a new home. During this period, the cost of maintenance care is approximately $15.00 per week.

Sponsorship can be as limited or as extensive as you wish. You may sponsor a greyhound for a week or two of maintenance or for his or her entire stay at Greyhound Adoption of Ohio Inc., from surgery to placement. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
