HELP HOUSE A HOUND

Help House a Hound

Have you reached your limit on household fur but would still like to help our hounds?

Greyhound Adoption League of Texas receives its greyhounds from many sources - breeders, trainers, owner releases, shelters, and strays. In addition to these sources, GALT operated for seven years as the exclusive adoption outlet for greyhounds retiring, grading out, and hurt at Valley Race Park in Harlingen, TX, a seasonal track that closed in April 2009.  

Providing quality care for the hounds-in-waiting simply requires a lot of money. The average stay for an adoptable hound is approximately 4 weeks. GALT's daily cost to board and care for hounds not in foster homes is $12 per day per dog which includes the following:

  • Food (twice daily)
  • Climate control kennel
  • Multiple daily kennel cleanings
  • Staff monitoring (4 times/day)

GALT provides each dog with the following items which are in addition to average daily expense per dog:

  • Kuranda Bed
  • Fleece Blanket (in winter)
  • Fleece Coat (in winter)
  • Tick, Flea, Heartworm and Internal Parasite treatments
  • Daily onsite health/behavior monitoring

There are several ways you can help GALT's hounds waiting for their forever homes:

  • 3 Days of Boarding - Sponsor Kennel boarding for three days at $12/day ($36)
     
  • 1 Week of Boarding - Sponsor Kennel boarding for one week at $12/day ($84)
     
  • 2 Weeks of Boarding - Sponsor Kennel boarding for two weeks at $12/day ($168)
     
  • 3 Weeks of Boarding - Sponsor Kennel boarding for three weeks at $12/day ($252)
     
  • 1 Month of Boarding - Sponsor Kennel boarding for one month at $12/day ($360)
