2025 Membership Drive

A message from Joyce McRorie, President of FastFriends

The Dogs Still Need Your Help 2025

For many years, there has been a steady stream of greyhounds coming to rescue groups across the country. Thousands of greyhounds found homes through the hard work of volunteers and the financial support of donors.

Then, tracks began to close and, when Florida banned dog racing, the writing was on the wall.

At this point, there are only three tracks sanctioned by the National Greyhound Association: two in West Virginia: Wheeling Island and Mardi Gras..

What the future holds is anyone's guess. But what I do know is that greyhounds are still racing at Caliente and, when they "grade off" will be looking to us to care for them and find them happy homes.

Yes, there are fewer available dogs but the cost for getting them ready for adoption has, in some cases, tripled.

This Membership Drive is crucial to our ability to continue providing the best of veterinary care for every one of the Caliente dogs that wind up on our doorstep. So far, we have been able to do so, but every month we are in the red. That's why, more than ever, we need your help.
