29 greyhounds were seized during a cruelty/neglect raid in Ft. Worth, TX last month. They were emaciated, COVERED in fleas and ticks, and very ill. Three of the dogs have died and many more are in critical care.
2 Hounds Design is hosting an online auction to raise funds for the rescue groups that are caring for these dogs. The medical bills could easily reach 50k when this is all said and done. It's absolutly heartbreaking!! This link is to a news story that details each of the dogs. It also has info on the online auction if you would like to check it out. (There is a BEAUTIFUL blue martingale on the block!!) http://www.examiner.com/x-7641-Dallas-Anim...orth-last-month |

4 have passed on to the rainbow bridge so far. He also had wolfhounds and some saluki's. None were spayed or neutered.

Ugh, those stories just make me soooo mad and disappointed in humans. I hope the remaining dogs will be okay and can have happy lives now.

Damn, I can't believe it - another 11 greyhounds were seized by Fort Worth Animal Control. Why don't people give up their animals if they can't/won't take care of them.
Per GALT's website: On August 10, 2010, GALT forwarded information received that day regarding an address in Fort Worth that was reported to have greyhounds in the back yard. Wednesday, August 11, FWAC Cruelty Investigators went to the address and found 11 greyhounds (4 tattooed, 1 untattooed, 2 greyhound/salukis and 4 puppies). They were turned over to FWAC and picked up by GALT on Thursday, August 12. Greyhounds Unlimited took three of the greyhounds. It's A Grey Area contacted GALT to take one of the greyhound/salukis. GALT's greys, Jitterbug, Sweet Pea and Red are in foster homes and being monitored very carefully, as well as the 4 puppies. Charges are being filed against the owner of the property. |
