I am so excited to share our story about adopting our dog. We lost our wonderful pet of twelve years, Ben, back in March. It was a long road getting to a point where we felt ready to get a new dog. Our 10-year-old daughter was the first to be ready,...
I am disappointed that you would support Grey2k also. They are funded from HSUS for something like $300.000 a year. It seems that you have fell for their deceptive front also. They use tragedy for monetary gains for self survival and to pay other lob...
VERY disapointed to see the Daily Grommet supporting an organization that DOESN'T spend a dime for greyhound adoption. The only thing Grey2K does, is put a track out of business and leave the adoption groups to clean up the mess while they move on to...
@Hope: GREY2K USA is an organization dedicated to ending the cruelty of greyhound racing nationwide through public education and the political process, and most of its resources must be dedicated to that end. It does support greyhound adoption thro...
the links for volunteer, donate and adopt do not work....Just wanted to bring this to your attention as it is such an incredible cause....I have owned a greyhound and I agree that they are the most loving, tender, sweet creatures I have been honored ...
@Terri: Thank you for letting us know. We will get that updated! Here is a link to go directly to their site to learn more: Grey2K USA...

Give Rescue
Many of you may recall that The Simpsons' clever dog, Santa's Little Helper, is a greyhound that Bart and Homer rescued from their local dog track. In real life, the organization Grey2K USA is making that happen on the national level.
The dog track is not a pleasant place for the beautiful, intelligent greyhound. There, the dogs often experience stress injuries like bone fractures and soft tissue tears. They live in warehouse-style kennels, confined for long hours each day in cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around. And every year, as many as 8,500 dogs are killed when they are no longer able to compete. The members of Grey2K USA advocate for stronger dog protection laws and hope to close down existing greyhound racetracks. They also offer adoption referral information to help the tens of thousands in need of homes.
This cause is particularly close to the heart of Daily Grommet founder, Jules Pieri, who has a few rescue greyhounds of her own. "As the mom of two rescue dogs myself, I can personally attest that there's nothing more rewarding than giving a pet a safe, secure "forever home." If you're interested in Grey2K USA, you can volunteer, donate, or adopt. If you're loyal to another breed or species, use Petfinder to search for pets in need of rescue near you. Do you have experience with Grey2K USA, or do you know of any other great organizations that could use more support this season?
