“This organization is wonderful. They are very experienced and they KNOW greyhounds. I was having behavioral issues with our greyhound that was NOT adopted from them and they gave me the advice I could not find from any veterinarian. There is a shortage of greyhounds so perhaps people are angry because their applications are not being processed. I understand this because we were rejected by several organizations or our application was ignored because we didn't live in Tucson.”
