Big Paws Only Dog Forums

I got my new greyhound baby on monday. She is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I have done dog rescue for years and this girl beets them all.

First this web site about GG made me sick. Just the thought of all the dogs that are being miss treated makes me want to cry.

Second Not all rescue groups are bad. The small ones are just people with big hearts with big hearts.  I have done dog rescue for 7 years. I do it out of my home and try to always follow city dog limits. I try my best to get all vet stuff done before the dog is placed in a new home but the ones that need it most are always first in line. I have no funding and do it out of my own pocket. I also do training with the dogs. Some I get have problems with food agression and even other dogs. So some are in my care for a long time. The adoption fee is never ever enough to pay for anything. I have used fosters and yes the fosters do have out of pocket expences, But I do try to give what I can back to them. There is just never enough money to do that. Here is a good example. I had a female rott that came to me at 1 year old no vet records ever. The owners kept her locked in a room all the time. They wanted a guard dog. When I got her she needed shots and heartworm check and lymes test. Plus behavior training to make her liveable in a home. She was here for 2 YEARS before she found her forever home a month ago. That is two years of shot, food, training, lymes treatment, heartguard, toys, bed and her own dog house. I got a 100.00 adoption fee for her.
I could go on but i will not boar you. Just know that not all places care about the money. We care about the dog

Yes the funny thing is I do love her already. She Is a beautiful girl. My children are waiting just about as hyper as I am. We all can't wait. Do to the lack of good pet stores here we are making her a coat as self. I do have a pic of her that was sent to me. It is her and her last litter. They are 6 weeks in the pic.

Hi i am new here and am getting my first grey next weekend. She is 10 and was a track dog but then they made her a brood mamma. So now she is coming here to are home to live out her days. I am so happy. I can't wait to see her, she has a long trip to get to me. She is coming from Kansas to Minnesota so that is a long way for her. I was trying to see if there is any advice someone can give me on how to make her happyer here she has been through so much.

 Hello, My name is Maraih. I am 8 months old. I came to my foster moms home becasue I was not being treated very nicely. I am working on potty training, sit, off, and come. (I like to jump) I am very smart and learn quickly. I love attention and to be cuddled. I love playing with ohter dogs. I play with two English Mastiffs. They are my foster Moms puppies. I play better with large dogs that are not agressive. I do ok with cats. I am learning not to chase them. I also like horses. I am looking for a home where I can stay forever and be loved. 

That is what I say! I called and talked to her and she couldn't even answer the questions I asked. Do you know how you get that feeling that someone is just looking for the money. THat is how I feel. But who knows. I just thought I would post it here and see if anyone could help!

Ya I agree. I hate more the people who put a dog down because they don't want it. That is why I don't own more than one. I love dogs to much but I would rather be a stopping point for all dog that really need a home. I can find them a better place that fits them. It saves them from the pound or being put to sleep
