GALTx eNews: Help Out A Huckleberry Hound!

Welcome to our latest little puppy, Huck! Huck’s birthday is January 7, 2019, making him about four months old. His sire is OF Wagon Train and his dam is Underfire. 

On April 21st, Huck jumped from his breeder’s arms and broke a leg when he fell. As you all probably know, we never turn greyhounds away based on medical issues or the cost to treat them. So when we were asked if we could take this boy in, we said yes without hesitation. Huck joined the GALT family on April 22nd. As soon as he arrived, our vets evaluated the break and determined Huck needed surgery to fix it. Dr. Radash at Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center performed the surgery on Huck’s leg on April 26th. Now, his foster family is faced with the challenge of keeping a playful puppy’s activity restricted for several week’s while his leg heals. We understand that will be no small challenge. Huck is tiny in stature but huge on personality.  He loves to play with stuffies and will find a way to have fun even in a cast. Huck won’t be available for adoption until his leg heals and he can be neutered. We won’t know how he will be with cats and other small animals until he grows up a bit. But you can give Huck and hand right now. The cost of the surgery to fix his leg alone is about $2,800 and we will still have the expense of his neuter and vaccinations. To help out Huckleberry Hound, please consider a donation to Huck’s Facebook fundraiser or on our website to our Miss Mesa Fund. Thank you!

Stay tuned for more on this little cutie….

GALTx eNews: Help The Hounds Dig Out Of Snowmageddon 2021!

The record snowfall and frigid temperatures of Snowmageddon 2021 damaged the plumbing and shared water well at our kennel last week. We are still exploring our responsibility for, and the costs of, the necessary repairs, but we expect that our share will be substantial. And, although the kennel currently has running water from the city water supply, city water costs us much more to use than water from the well. We also anticipate that our bill for heating the kennel during the cold spell will be astronomical! The weather might be warmer now, but Snowmageddon 2021 isn’t over for us. 

Last week, we shared with you how our volunteers pulled together to keep the hounds safe during the cold weather. Now, we need your help too. Lori and Bill Elmer, Marcus and Sage’s adopters, generously offered a matching fund challenge to raise money to cover our Snowmageddon 2021 expenses and will match donations made to our House A Hound fund between February 19th and March 16th up to $5,000! As word got out, more help came along! Three more couples have joined the Elmers in contributing matching funds! Long-time adopters/donors Rita and Chris Wulke have pledged $2,500 in honor of their current greys, Slate, Fleet and Chill. Rick and Linda Vayo (founders of the Amanda and Emmet Golden Years Fund) are contributing an additional $2,000. And, Nicole and Mike Nixon just added another $2,500 in memory of their Rainbow Bridge Angels Keeper and Brandy. This brings our Snowmageddon 2021 Matching Fund total to $12,000!

As COVID-19 limits our fundraising to virtual, on-line events, we really need your help to ensure we reach our $12,000 goal by March 16th! Please act now to help the hounds by donating to our House A Hound Fund. Thanks so much to the Elmers, Wulkes, Vayos, Nixons, and all who help the hounds with this critical need!
