"Paws for Life"
South Bay Doggie Walk

On April 5, 1997, a number of GPA/CA--OC&GLA volunteers participated in the "Paws for Life" South Bay Doggie Walk, sponsored by Wellness Community and Hospice Foundation. They enjoyed a beautiful day at Veteran Park in Redondo Beach, and answered lots of questions about greyhound adoption. Good going,folks!

1996 Puppy Shower
[Puppy
Shower 1]

On Sunday, June 23, 1996, we held a puppy shower for eight new puppies born to one of four greyhounds turned in to a Los Angeles area animal shelter. The shelter folks call us when they receive a greyhound so we can pick it up.

Shower 2]

Just a few days after we picked her up, "Julie" delivered these healthy, beautiful puppies by Caesarean section. One is a light brindle; the others are all white, or black and white. Because of the C-section and the costs of fostering eight pups for seven to eight months, we wanted to give our people a chance to donate to the cause.

Carol swears that these guys are holy terrors most of the day: sweet, loving, but each full of enough life for any two pups. But as you can see from these photos, by the time I got there all the playing with visitors had worn them out. Carol was happy for that!
