Greyhounds Visit Santa!



Our hounds, Wyatt & Presto, visited with Santa this week. Rumor has it they asked for new stuffies, liver treats and a baby sister.

The photo was taken at Long Island GreyHound Transfer (L.I.G.H.T.) Visit their website:

www.ligreyhound.org for greyt info about Greyhounds. You'll find F.A.Q's, photos, and even an online Adoption Application. If you live on Long Island or you're coming for a visit, be sure to check the event schedule. Come to a Meet & Greet to talk to their friendly volunteers and meet some of these greyt dogs!
