Wynonna here: Wanting to give a special “bark out” to some very generous pups who raided their toy bins and picked out some gently loved toys (and even lots of new ones!) to donate to my 3rd Annual After the Track Greyhound Adoption Toy Drive.
Generous pups: | Pet parent: |
Wendy and Pugsley (donated twice!) | Mary |
Daisy and Chief | Robyn |
Lady Gaga | K.P. |
Brogan, Casey and Emma | Norma |
Charlie | Sandy |
Sharon (grammy!) | |
Cooper and Storm | Lindsay |
Josiah, Keiko and Olivia | Holly and Jim |
Clooney & Crew Beamish & Crew |
Tina (GTA) Jen (GT&A) |
Gee and Cricket | Lisa and Jason |
Killa | Yolanda |
Vanille | Sophia |
Hennessey | Linda and Ralph |
Diva | Joanna (22 toys!) |
Bailee and Macey | Judy and Jim |
Becky | Donna |
Magnum | Dawn and Doug |
Amber | Sherill |
(Also a big thank you to all the anonymous donors!)
Some pups even donated multiple times! “Bow wowsers” each and every one of you understands how important it is to cuddle and play with toys ~ share the toys, share the love I say!
With the help of your pet parents, After the Track collected 163 toys! These toys will be divided amongst our foster homes who will make sure that every greyhound retired from racing and moving to Canada via After the Track gets a toy of their very own to take along to their “furever” homes.
Here’s hoping some toys can be sent to my furry friends in West Virginia waiting to be adopted from Greyhound Pets of America, Wheeling Chapter. My momma promised to bring toys when she visited GPA Wheeling’s adoption centre last year…she doesn’t like to break a promise so I think GPA Wheeling’s greyhounds can look forward to some toys heading their way!
Special thanks to some special clients of L.A.H. who donated toys in honour of their four legged family members who have passed on to the rainbow bridge. What a “woofer–ful” way to pay tribute to a beloved furry friend…
One final “paws” before I sign off to say thank rooooo (that is a very unique sound that a greytful greyhound makes!) to my grammy Sharon for her ongoing donations to support her grand dogger (that’s me!)
Stay tuned for my next dog blog ~ if you don’t have Easter plans you will by the time I’m done barking my next “pee mail” B O L!
Love,
Wynonna: Ambassadog of After the Track and Spokesdogger for Greyhound Adoption in Canada
