I am so sorry for the delay in posting an update on Gia! We have been busy taking care of her and the other 25 greyhounds that came in with her. Then we got six more greyhounds in right after that!! BUSY but it's great to be getting more greyhounds and we will have them available for adoption soon!

Gia has been doing great!! She stayed with me for the isolation period and then went to another foster home for her to heal up....thank you Mandy! Gia has been having her splint changed as needed, has her own potty space and even space on the deck!!

She was 29 pounds when she arrived, was 31 pounds the next week, then 10 days later she was 37 pounds!!! She is going to be a big girl!! To put that in to perspective....my Luna at one year old was 42 pounds--she is on the small side as she is 48 pounds now at 19 months. WOW--she is almost Luna size already!!

She gets to spend time on "crate" rest but also with many other greyhounds around to be able to socialize. She has puppy energy now and wants to be able to run!! She will have her splint on for a little while more and a follow up appointment soon.

Thank you all for the donations!! We were able to raise all the money that is estimated to be needed for her care. If anyone would like to donate to help with medical expenses for the other 31 greyhounds that arrived with or after her, please click the donate button at the top of this page, write a check to MGPS--ATTN Dawn Curtis, 231 Old Belgrade Rd. Augusta, ME 04330, or go to our Friends of Maine Facebook page .

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has donated and especially the ones to continue to donated. There is no way that we would have been able to get so many greyhounds to Maine without your continued support <3 ~ Dawn

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.
