Ok, maybe you can't adopt a retired racing Greyhound, but you would still like to help.  Please donate a bag of dry dog food or send us the money to buy a bag ourselves.  20 to 40 lb bags are preferred.  Your donation will help feed the Greyhounds waiting to be adopted.   If you can deliver the dog food to the kennel, please call Marchet Anschell at 206-310-8038 to make an appointment.  Otherwise, please contact the closest volunteer to you to make arrangements for pick up.

Money for dog food can be sent to our Treasurer:

Bunny Richardson
PO Box 891
Woodinville, WA  98072

Or, you may call her at 360-568-3773 to make a credit card donation for food.

Greyhound Pets, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit tax-exempt organization.  100% of all donations go directly to the care and upkeep of our ex-racing Greyhounds up for adoption.  

Here is some information on the pet food recall - www.itchmo.com

We can also use supplements at our kennel.  Occasionally, a dog comes in that can use a little extra TLC and FFAs.  Things like Missing Link, glucosamine (especially from the Greyhound Gang) and anything with FFAs such as fish oil, we would be happy to take.

Marchet says she'll take any pet food that doesn't have corn in it.  These are the brands we prefer and our adoption kennel and foster Greyhounds do best on:
