Greyhound Adoptions of Florida is participating in the e-Scrip program. This program works by having supporters register their grocery loyalty cards, debit, ATM, and credit cards with up to three charitable organizations. When supporters use these cards at participating merchants, the merchants contribute a percentage of the sale to the designated organization(s).

To sign up, visit www.escrip.com. GAF's group ID is 155001774. Please check out the website to see if merchants that you use frequently participate in the program. And tell your family and friends. The more supporters we have, the more money we can raise to help the greyhounds!

If you come across similar programs with merchants that you use a lot, or if you have any questions, please contact Jaimie Mann at matilda2368@yahoo.com or 610-539-3474.

The mission of PCAGR and it's outreach program, Greyhound Education Alliance, is to promote the greyhound as a highly esteemed companion animal via public education and to protect the breed by ending specific abuses including use as a racing dog and as subject of medical research.

The organizations listed below are dedicated to passing greyhound protection laws and ending the killing and cruelty of dog racing.

Pennsylvania becomes the 8th state in the union to make pari-mutuel greyhound racing illegal, May 21st 2004

Harrisburg: Gov. Edward G. Rendell signed House Bill 832 into law May 21, prohibiting pari-mutuel greyhound racing in the state.

Pennsylvania follows similar bans enacted by Maine, Virginia, Vermont , Idaho, Washington, Nevada, and North Carolina. Dog racing had been legal in Vermont, Idaho, Nevada, and North Carolina.

We want to thank all hounds and humans that contribute to a very successful Meet and Greet schedule each month. These volunteers are often the initial contact with many potential greyhound homes. Our best efforts and professional impression are the starting point for good working relationships with our adopters.

While M&G’s are an opportunity to see others, it is important that the M&G maintain a business focus. Its purpose is to give the public an opportunity to see greyhounds and ask questions about the greyhound breed. Our goal is to be courteous to the stores need to function as a business. This is accomplished by maintaining a reasonable number of humans and hounds at each event.

We ask that you contact the M&G coordinator to inquire about attending an event. We are guests and always want to be welcomed back to these establishments. GAFNE thanks all the businesses who welcome us to their stores in our efforts to help more greyhounds!

The M&G schedule is listed under the events page on the website at www.adoptagrey.org
