“I love the smell of wet dog hair in the morning.”

with apologies to Robert Duvall, Apocalypse Now

What a wet and wild weekend it was. We started on Saturday with Days of Caring at the kennel and a wonderful crew of

volunteers from GEICO – all of whom trekked from the far southeast side to give our kennel dogs a spa day with shampoo, massage, hot towels and lots of love, cuddles and rubs. For many of these dogs, only days off the track, it was likely the first experience they had with love and care and gentle hands. And even though one or two dogs were not sure about the spray hose and the cold water on a cloudy day, by the end there were no two legged participants without a four legged participant wrapped around them.

Sunday was hotter and a whole lot wetter – our greyt volunteers brushed, washed, dried, nail trimmed, cuddled and pampered almost 100 dogs, from teeny held in the hand Chihuahuas to a 150 pound bulldog who was one of the sweetest dogs we saw all day (other than our beloved greyhounds of course – of whom there were dozens!) I am confident there were many fairly quiet homes in the afternoon as the participants napped and recovered from the activity.

This second dog wash kicks off the fall season for AGR. It is hard to believe that school has already been back in session for almost a month and our fall activities are kicking off. And even harder to acknowledge that the “new” board is already going into its third month… 100 shopping days to Christmas (sorry about that one – I couldn‟t resist!) We – the board –hope you are seeing some positive changes as we figure out our roles and continue our discussions regarding what AGR should look like. We appreciate your support, we value your feedback, and continue to marvel at how dedicated you all are to our greyhounds and to animal welfare in general – this certainly came through time and time again this weekend. And if you need any confirmation of how big a difference you make, just take a look at our Flickr link <www.flickr.com/photos/azgreyhoundrescue>. The Days of Caring pictures are up now. Look at the faces (people and dogs) and you will know how much you mean to us.

Thanks for all you do for our greyhounds!

Hounds not Gone Wild!

Both Pippi and Penny got the chance to meet with a couple of Tucson‟s most famous personalities; however, they weren‟t as interested in being hypnotized by their dashing good looks than

in thinking they really didn‟t want to share their limelight!

Pippi, greyhound to Terry Baker, is keeping a close eye on the bright red Toro‟s bull, Tuffy. Pippi met Tuffy on August 9

when AGR greys and owners got to take the field for a 7th inning stretch roo. It has since been

determined that the owners roo‟d more than the hounds!

Penny, greyhound to Dana and Steve Leanne, was the talk of

the town, well, talk of the parking lot...on August 21 at The United Way Days of Caring Breakfast Kickoff. Penny was overheard telling her handler, “I don‟t think I‟ll be chasing this gecko. He‟s a

tad bigger in real life than how he looks on TV.”

ARIZONA GREYHOUND RESCUE

Fiona is still searching for her forever home. She is our honorary greyhound mix and has become a great companion in her foster home. She is well behaved and very docile in the home. Not destructive, she can be left alone for a few hours without any symptoms of separation anxiety. She's getting used to unusual noises, like the vacuum cleaner, but is terrified of thunder and fireworks. Fiona is house broken and cat tolerant. A yard to play with squeaky toys and another dog may be sufficient exercise for this sweet girl and and to avoid any anxiety she has with the outside world. Fiona has had a very rough life and now wants to find that place where she is forever safe, loved and treasured.

Birdie is a sweet-natured Tuxedo-black beautiful girl who loves dog beds and food. She is house broken using a doggie door. She is smart and eager to please, but is still learning what's hers to play with and what's off limits: my socks spring to mind! This petite, gentle girl trots well on a leash, is very good with my other greyhounds and is cat tolerant. She is very fond of chew bones and squeaky stuffed toys. Birdie follows me everywhere - she loves people, needs to know what they're doing and if she can join in. Birdie will do best in a home where someone is home most of the day. I've taken her to work with me a few times a week and she behaved perfectly. She has been left home alone for a short while and nothing was destroyed. She is ready to move into a permanent home with people who will lavish her with affection. Birdie is one special lady! ~A special story on Birdie is on page 16.

Emily is a petite brindle gal seeking a forever home. No expensive grooming with her. Every couple of months during the warmer months, just hose her down in the back yard, shampoo her up, and hose her off. During the cooler months, you can take her to an inexpensive "do it yourself" dog wash parlor. Regular brushing keeps her coat shiny. Two cups of premium kibble twice a day, with a little sprinkling of chicken broth, followed by a biscuit, is what she needs to maintain good health. Not too many treats - she needs to keep her figure. Regular walks or trips to a safe doggie park will keep Emily in good shape. As Emily is an affectionate pooch, she needs an adopter who likes to cuddle with their furry family companion.

Foxy Roxy is doing exceedingly well in foster care. She is one energetic, playful and affectionate two-year old, and a tail wagger. She would do well with a family with children, but she has no experience with toddlers or cats. She wiggles when she walks and when she wags her tail. Roxy becomes anxious and barks if left alone for a couple of hours, but is not destructive in the home and, therefore, has not been crated. Roxy is not scared of thunder, rides well in the car and barks 'some.' She is housetrained without the availability of a doggie door!!! Roxy does not do well with food that contains corn meal and peanut butter. Continuing gentle training is necessary to groom

Roxy: clean the ears, clip the nails, clean the teeth, and teach her basic commands. Roxy knows her name and comes when called. Her foster Mom says, Roxy is "just adorable."

Speaking of Fosters…

AGR would like to extend the utmost appreciation to you all!

A foster‟s job is priceless as they take in greyhounds straight from the kennel, off the street, out of the pound, and from disrupted homes. The foster parents teach the hounds house manners, tend to their medical issues, take them to meet and greets; and, the toughest job of all…. they love the hounds away when they find their forever home. Next time you meet up with one of the foster parents, please let them know how much you appreciate their vital roll in assisting the dogs into their permanent placement! For information on joining the highly rewarding ranks of fostering, please contact Foster Coordinator, Cheryl Bennet, by calling 520.886.7411 or by emailing [email protected]. With the Phoenix racetrack closing at the end of the year, the need for this very special volunteer will be more critical than ever!

ARIZONA GREYHOUND RESCUE

by Cindy Hall

This summer, Jeff, the girls, and I rented a travel trailer and spent a week in southern Utah, volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. I wish I could share all the lessons we learned with everyone - here are just a few - that what you give, you receive ten-fold; how incredibly wonderful it is to watch animals not judge each other because of their disabilities; that when people are totally

committed to what they are doing, they cannot fail.

When we arrived we had to go through a volunteer orientation, we took a tour of the

3000 acres, and then we were assigned to our 'duties'. In the cat section, we cleaned cages, socialized with feral, neglected and FIV/FIB cats. We walked dogs every day, cleaned cages, scooped poop [okay, it wasn't much different than turn-out at the kennel!].

One of the really neatest things was meeting all the fascinating volunteers from all over the country - one of the ladies I met was involved with Mustang Rescue in Salt Lake City. Best Friends has this really neat

program where you can take one of their dogs [or cats] for a 'sleepover'. We chose Dixie. She is a 10-year-old pit-bull/lab mix. Sadly, she was found on the streets of LA at the age of 6 months and has spent the past 9 1/2 years at Best Friends, never knowing the joy of a home. She was so wonderful - mellow, housetrained, and loving. We would have considered making her an Arizonan, but she doesn't like cats, or other female dogs...so it just wasn't an option, but she is just too sweet. I guess if she had to live somewhere, this would be the place.

If you ever have opportunity to visit Best Friends, I would strongly

recommend it!

AGR would like to give a Special Thank Roo to:

Karyn Zoldan for the incredible idea of having Heather Rowe as the

guest of honor for the Greyhounds & Friends, Fall Festival Fundraiser. Thank you Karyn for not only the idea but also securing such great addition for the event!

Lizzie Mead, and her sister, Catie Mead, for saving

our greyhound mix, Charm. Charm was a few hours from euthanasia when her guardian angel, Lizzie, swooped in and gave her a second chance at life. Lizzie along with the other Beading Divas to the Rescue, raised $600 for her care. Thank you!

Glenda Taylor for her years of dedication to AGR

writing grants. Glenda secured thousands of dollars over the years ($40,000 to be exact) to help care for our greyhounds, including dental care and heartworm. Thank you Glenda!

Michelle Caillet (Greyt Escape), Carol and Terry

Sampson, Diana Hansen and Mary Freeman for donating collars and leashes for the greyhounds in the kennel. Our hounds will be going to their tabling sites in style!

Dale Peters and Jim Hoy for always having their door open to a hound in

need. Dale and Jim consistently take in the just-spayed respite foster females; and, then return our little sweethearts, after they heal up, to the kennel so they can do it all over again the next week!

The Geico staff who, as part of the United Way Days of Caring, came

from the southeast side of town to go to the kennel all the way to the northwest side of town just to give our hounds a very well deserved special spa day. From left to right: Rene Skinner, Stephanie A n d r e w s , A m a n d a Blankenbaker, Maria Morones, Craig Richards, Amanda Quintana, Sarah Rohrer, Breanna Pike, and Lori Stickley. Thank you, Geico!

For foster guardians and new adopters, here‟s a list of tips that may help you smoothly transition your greyhound from life at the track to life on the couch, and preserve your cherished valuable items, or sentimental knickknacks, not to mention your sanity! Remember: in many cases, you are caring for a puppy in an adult body. A lot of our greyhounds come to us under the age of four and, like a human toddler, require patience, consistency, vigilance, correction and love.

Before bringing home a greyhound to foster or adopt, inspect your

home for possible doggie targets: Hide or remove any electrical cords that are within nibble range. The same goes for TV remotes, eye glasses, cell phones, etc. Be vigilant and HIDE in a drawer otherwise the greyhound might think this is something similar to a Nylabone and its O.K. to scrunch, chomp, and annihilate. Training a greyhound also makes for a very tidy home!

Holiday Perils: Greyhounds should not be exposed to: holiday

decorations, especially tinsel, Poinsettias, Halloween candy, candles, and Easter Lilies.

Wagging tails: Greyhounds have long tails and, when excited, those

tails will whip around at such speed that Cat Woman will slink into retirement. If you have low coffee tables, one whip of that tail will clear whatever is displayed. Keep anything of value off the coffee table and place behind closed doors. If the tail wagging turns into happy tail tell the dog to „knock it off.‟ Stand by the dog until it settles down.

Indoor and Outdoor plants: Greyhounds may be tempted to nibble on

plants. Place inside plants out of reach – especially Sago Palm plants - and make sure your outside plants are also not poisonous to greyhounds. In Arizona, oleanders are popular as is potpourri in the home, but both are poisonous to dogs. Also, antifreeze, insecticides and herbicides are dangerous to dogs and need to be kept out of reach. For a more comprehensive list of poisonous plants and foods, log onto: www.entirelypets.com/toxicfoods.html or www.aspca.org.

Poisonous Foods: include: chocolate, grapes, mushrooms, baby food,

raisins, onions, tomatoes, caffeinated beverages, alcohol, garlic, Macadamia nuts, cat food, milk and other dairy products, raw eggs, raw fish, cooked bones [chicken, fish, turkey, pork, beef,] walnuts, and Xylito [sweetener in sugar candies, gum, etc.] Greyhounds are dogs and need dog food, not people food, so please don‟t serve the dog chicken enchiladas with beans and rice.

Early information regarding the closing

of Phoenix Greyhound Park

As you know, the Phoenix track is scheduled to close in December. A last-ditch proposal to state lawmakers to turn the track into a "racino" failed during the Legislature's special session this summer. The plan would have allowed horse and dog tracks to operate slot machines, video gambling and poker tables on-site; in exchange, they would have given 45 percent of the proceeds to the state. Current plans by the owners are to maintain the facilities in hopes that the legislature will reconsider the proposal and allow the track to reopen in 2010. We will obviously stay on top of this story. ~reported by John Clark

For the human companions of the greyhounds that

have passed, it must be painful to look at their doggie beds, their food dish, toys and collars . But remember, you saved them and offered them sanctuary, safety and love. They will never forget all you did to make their lives happy and joyful; and, for this, you have their heartfelt thanks and love throughout eternity.

In Special Remembrance to Chester by Jean Rettus

I found Chester at "At Home Kennels" 7 years ago while doing turnout for the greyhounds. He and Angie Mae, also at the Bridge now, were abandoned by their owner. I asked if I could have them and home we went. Chester liked to talk and would answer you if you spoke to him. He also liked to climb upon your chest and put his paws around your neck and cuddle; drooling like crazy. He was a ball of fur and love. In time, AGR was in need of a "cat tester" and I suggested, because of Chester's attitude, maybe we could try him. Mary Freeman and I did Chester's first group of dogs. There were quite a few, but the last one was the icing on the cake. The grey came into the trailer full speed ahead, Mary in tow, and almost took out Chester as well as Mary's arm. We think Chester might have lost a life that day; I know we both did! At that time Chester was on a leash which broke away as he literally ran up the wall of the trailer. Well, after that, Chester was not leashed and did a splendid job testing. Chester volunteered for AGR for about three years. He was 7 years old when I got him - 14 when he went to the Bridge.

We all feel *our* greyhounds are brilliant. Smarter, funnier, more aesthetically pleasing than any other greyhound in the world. I thought my first greyhound was a genius, she had a gazillion awesome little parlor tricks that she did and impressed guests with her great manners. Lace was a fantastic dog and very well behaved and quirky, but not the rocket scientist I always assumed she was. With a smarty pants greyhound, life isn't always a cakewalk - but It's definitely interesting and fun. The smarty pants greyhound in question is "Birdie" or "Birdie-Bird" or, as I have come to call her just "The Bird". Bird is my lovely Tuxedo black foster dog with the will and the way solve a number of puzzles in and around my home. I think she's awesome, and quirky, and certainly a smarty. When she first came to my house, she walked around for a few hours like she had lost her keys, exploring and figuring things out. She pretty much existed on a dog bed for a few days-getting up to go outside and eat. A model citizen for like a week, she watched everything I did and began to be a "velcro dog" which is my personal fave kinda hound. She was pleasant, charming, and attentive. She learned to sit right away, she learned the hand signal for sit just as fast. Then she learned to catch a biscuit just as fast, then "Bow" stretch with a signal.

These are really fun things, things that impress any potential adopter! I was thinking she would be adopted so fast, that I wouldn't get to enjoy her for long. She was watching me open doors, gates, cabinets, sterilite bins...all of these things she too could now open. Eh. Problem. Locks on the gates; bolt the front door;

child latches on cabinets; Problem solved. Then came the chewing...hmmm...never had a chewer before. Didn't know what to do about that either. I consulted the trusty internet and AGR volunteers and found several possible solutions. Here's what worked. Chewing on a CD? "NO, Bird" take the CD away, replace with stuffed bunny "Yesss, this is good...good Bird..." Repeat for every single object she chews on. See, Bird never repeats the same object twice- she learns with the replacement that she can't have that -one- item. While I am repeating the replacement behavior, she is repeating the "what about this?" behavior. Willful. Hmmm. Rotating out the interesting chewie treats works, Kongs work temporarily if frozen, nylabones in rotation, always having an interesting thing for her to do works for her. A new game that Mary suggested has worked really well, hiding a dozen or so treats all over the house. This keeps her busy all day, even after she finds all of them-she still keeps looking. One day at Petsmart, there was a beautiful noise and her ears perked up-she looked down the hallway and then looked at me, then darted back to where the noise had come from. She liked this noise, it was a clicker. So she was clicker trained in 2 days. She would play the "pocket full of treats" game all day if I had all day to play it with her. She is a great girl, very lovable, great shop dog at my store, and gets along with all animals (other dogs big and small, cats, ferrets, ect) I think she more so trained me, trained me to pick up my things, put my socks in the hamper, and put my DVD's and CD's away. So I'm all trained up, and so is she. Bird has been the perfect dog for 1 month! This supermodel type with the overbite is ready to find true love in her forever home. I'll miss her, but this is what it's all about! Most greyhounds are going to be easier fosters, but I wouldn't give up getting to watch her blossom into the awesome dog she is!
