We have a surprise that came with our last transport....a greyhound puppy!!! Her name is Gia and she was playing with her litter mates a little too rough and ended up breaking her leg. The good news is that it's a chip and will hopefully heal quickly. She is on pain medication and has a splint and needs crate rest for about 4 weeks. She has had an initial vet visit with x-rays and will need a follow up. This is an unexpected expense but how could we say no to that cute little face
We are asking for donations to go toward her medical costs. If we end up making anything above her costs for her medical care, that would be a HUGE help and will go toward the medical care for her 25 other friends who made the trip to Maine with her.
Please visit our Facebook Page send a check to MGPS, ATTN Dawn Curtis 231 Old Belgrade Rd, Augusta, ME 04330--with Puppy Gia on the subject line or donate by clicking here
**GIA IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION**~ Please do not call asking for information about adopting Gia at this time as she hasn't been medically cleared. Thank you for your cooperation Dawn
Exciting news! MGPS will be getting 25 more greyhounds this weekend!! If anyone would like to help with transportation costs please click the donate button on our facebook page Friends of Maine Greyhound. Your continued donations are allowing us to continue to bring greyhounds to Maine!! Thank you all so much and please realize that any amount is a HUGE help toward the goal of making greyhounds available for adoption
Please donate if possible and share to spread the word! I will post pictures as soon as I can. Pictures posted are from our last intake... arriving at the kennel, on the scale to be weighed, bath time and some snuggle time with Elizabeth <3 Also, check out Petfinder for the available greyhounds for adoption. I will be adding more as they become available for adoption ~ Dawn"
