YOU CAN HELP
AHGA is still in
financial crisis and struggling to stay open. Vet bills, feed bills and several
"abnormal" recent expenses have drained
our resources. Please help if you can!
There
are several ways you can help. One is by shopping
with Hound Mountain. 100% of all profits go to
support the Almost Heaven hounds. Check out the
collection of original sweats, tees and
gift
items made specially for Hound Mountain.
Another way to
help is to sponsor one of our Greyhounds while he/she waits to
be adopted. Details about the sponsorship program are here.
AHGA has joined two dogfood rebate programs.
If we clip and send in Pedigree Proof of Purchase
(POP) squares, or Purina weight circles, we receive
rebates of at least 8¢ per pound. That's $4.00
for each 50 lb bag, but we'll happily take POP's and
weight circles from smaller bags, too. If you
feed any Pedigree dry product, or one of several
Purina products (including Pro Plan, Purina One, Dog
Chow, Puppy Chow and Hi Pro), please clip the POP or
weight circle from the bags and send them to us.
They look like this:
 |
 |
| Pedigree |
Purina |
These things really add up.
Between our house dogs and the kennel, we usually use
170-200 lbs of kibble every week. I have rebate
requests ready to mail tomorrow for over $200!
That's going to help us a lot. So if you save up
several POP's and/or weight circles you can make a
nice contribution to AHGA without spending any money.
Please mail them to:
Almost Heaven
Greyhound Adoption
5340 Doc Bailey Rd
Cross Lanes WV 25313
So please, SAVE THOSE CIRCLES
and POP'S FOR US! Cutting them out only
takes a few seconds, but donates $$ to Almost
Heaven. |

affiliate agreements with several vendors of ebooks we

deeply appreciated and is put to good use for our
beautiful hounds.

everything? Consider making a donation
in his/her name. We will send them a nice card to
let them know that the donation was made by you.

| 9 year old Joker is one of
the sweetest dogs we've ever had in our program. He was
previously adopted directly from the track, then brought to us
when his family moved overseas and couldn't take him.
Joker is cat safe and loves kids. Click on his photo to

Our
Mission Statement
Almost
Heaven
Greyhound
Adoption
was
founded
by
racing
people,
is
currently
run
and
staffed
by
racing
people,
and
is
largely
supported
by
people
from
within
the
racing
community.
However,
AHGA's
function
as
a
group
is
not
to
promote racing.
We
love
racing,
but
we
love
our
dogs
more
and
they
will
always
come
first.
Our
threefold
mission
is:
1. To
educate the general public about the availability
and suitability of retired racing Greyhounds as
pets,
2. To find loving and qualified homes for
Greyhounds
who are entrusted to us,
and
3. To offer ongoing support to those who adopt
Greyhounds,
whether
from
us
or
from
other
sources.

"He is your friend, your partner,
your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love,
his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to
the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be
worthy of such devotion."
-- Unknown
Almost Heaven Greyhound Adoption was formed to help
fill the need to find homes for Greyhounds as they retire
from racing. We are based in Cross Lanes WV near Tri-State
Greyhound
Park.
We have adoptable Greyhounds in our Cross Lanes kennel and sometimes in
foster care waiting to find permanent families. We also often have a waiting list of dogs who are still in their
respective racing kennels or breeding/training farms. We
feed and care for the dogs in the kennel and in foster
homes, getting to know them as well as possible so that
we can find the best home
to
suit
each individual
dog's
personality. In the
process we teach them as much as we can about home
living, and "new" (to them) things like stairs
and house manners.
This website has four purposes:
- to give information (and pictures when
possible) of any Greyhounds that we have
available for adoption.
- to provide general information about living
with Greyhounds.
- to explain some of our adoption policies and
requirements (these may be subject to minor
changes as our group develops).
- and to celebrate some of the hounds that have
already been placed. Each one of these hounds
takes a piece of our hearts with them to their
new homes, and to us, they will always be family.
They are Almost Heaven's angels!
