As you know GO is committed to providing the best possible medical care to our retired racers when they come to us. On occasion we find ourselves responsible for some severely ill hounds that have not found their forever home, a foster. There was Val with idiopathic epilepsy, Kit with Addison/Cushings, Sis with meningitis and now we have sweet Daphne who has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer).

Let's all raise a glass, or in this case bottles of wine, to support Greyhounds Only's mission to rescue and adopt retired racers. We have partnered with Benefitwines.com, a respected winery that provides excellent wines and supports not-for-profit organizations to raise much needed funds.
