ALL proceeds from sales of "Let Them Eat Cookies: A Greyt Cookbook for All Great Dogs" will go directly to Greyhound Rescue Inc. The book features 136 recipes for meals, kibble add-ins, cookies, pupcakes, jerky, carob candies and so much more. There are recipes submitted by vets, greyhound owners and even one from Burpdog Biscuits! It is a truly unique cookbook and one your hound won’t want you to do without. Share a few copies with all your dog-owner friends and family!! These recipes are suitable for all dogs. Each recipe is featured in a full color photograph and has been tested for accuracy. All meals, treats and remedies in the book have been hound-sampled for tastiness and vet-approved as safe and healthful for your dogs. There are four chapters in this cookbook: Beastly Meals; Canine Cookies & Pupcakes; Holiday Hounds & Pooch Parties; and Special Needs Recipes. We have covered it all, from stews and suppers to even vegan, wheat-free and grain-free treats. And best of all, the recipes are all easy – some can be made in 15 minutes from beginning to end! As a special feature of the cookbook, there are also more than 75 full-color professional photographs of hounds being hounds in all their favorite places: the sofa, the beach, Meet & Greets and more!

Be an ambassador!

As a Greyhound owner, you have the opportunity to be a "public relations" representative for all Greyhounds. These dogs attract a lot of attention. I'm sure everyone has been approached at one time or another while out walking your dog by a neighbor or stranger asking questions about your Greyhound. Become knowledgeable about Greyhounds and help spread the word about them. Use these opportunities to hand out a business card or brochure from Greyhound Rescue, Inc. Even if you are away from home, pass out our brochure to anyone interested in adopting a Greyhound. We can refer them to a local adoption organization if they are out of our immediate adoption area. If you happen to have a picture of your Greyhound on your desk at work, keep a few business cards or brochures handy to distribute to anyone who stops to chat with you about your Greyhound. You also might discover that other co-workers have Greyhounds, too. Take your Greyhound with you wherever you go whenever possible. The more often they are seen, the more interest you can generate. Most people who have never been in the company of a real live Greyhound comment on how well behaved, gentle, and quiet they are. This will certainly dispel the misperception that Greyhounds are hyper and excitable. It also gives the public an opportunity to see firsthand what wonderful loving pets they are.

Volunteer

We can always use your help -- we depend heavily on volunteers to help generate interest, to prepare our dogs for their new homes, and to generate donations and grants.

If you have a special skill or if you have lots of energy and desire, there are many ways you can help. Your efforts will be truly appreciated and you'll get a great deal of satisfaction knowing that you're helping more greyhounds find loving homes.

Donate

Your charitable contributions are greatly appreciated and will be put to great use. We are an all volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and your donations are fully tax deductible.

Here's a simple way to gauge how your contributions help: it costs us about $1.00 per day to care for each dog awaiting adoption. But that doesn't begin to tell the whole story...

We don't usually rely on donations to cover our normal day-to-day operations. We use donations in ways that will really make a difference for special needs dogs - to help cover the cost of veterinary care for dogs with broken legs and other serious conditions. We also use donations for critically needed improvements.

Donate Online!

Donations are made easy now! We accept donations using JustGive, Network for Good, and PayPal - it's simple and you'll be doing a wonderful thing!
