Hollydogs


About two weeks ago, I decided to volunteer on Saturday, when I usually volunteer on Sundays. Well, as I arrived, I found out that on Saturdays another organization is there. They are called HollyDogs. They are an organization that specializes in adoptions for greyhounds. Although they have a variety of ages, many of their dogs are retired racing dogs.
Hollydogs is a non-profit organization relying soley on volunteers and donations. They are dedicated to saving greyhounds that would otherwise be euthanized because they are no longer fit for racing and educating the public on caring for greyhounds, as well as the importance of spayinng and neutering animals, to prevent over population. They have a greyhound sanctuary, located in Bonita springs, FL, and their main adoption center is located in Hollywood, FL.
Hollydogs' dedication for their dogs is shown in the adoption process. To make sure that their animals will be in a safe and loving home, all future adopters must fill out an application, agree to a home visit, and have their applications approved. As I was looking through the Hollydogs website, I could definately tell how dedicated they were to finding loving homes for their dogs and educating the public about the breed.
