J.K Rowling Adopts a Greyhound
JK Rowling is keeping busy after finishing the Harry Potter books by adopting a rescue greyhound.
Staff at Celia's Greyhound Rescue in Scotland had no idea who JK was when she went along with her family to pick out a pooch pal for their Jack Russell terrier, Butch.
Owner Celia Fife only realised when JK signed a £1,000 cheque - £970 more than the home ask for - to adopt a four-year-old dog, called Sapphire.

Adopting a Greyhound
Countless numbers of greyhounds become available for adoption each year, and because the public are largely unaware of the magnificent warm and affectionate nature of these dogs they don't consider them as an alternative for a pet.
By generating a more positive perception of the breed, Greyhounds As Pets (GAP) aims to find responsible caring and loving permanent homes for these greyhounds who have truly earned their retirement.
All GAP greyhounds are Temperament Tested, Sterilised, C5 Vaccinated, Wormed, Micro Chipped and come with a lead, collar, muzzle and plenty of support from GAP.

2008 RSPCA Million Paws Walk
Help us win the largest corporate team for the 3rd year running!
Sunday 18 May
8am to 1pm
Sir James Mitchell Park, South Perth
The Million Paws Walk is one of the biggest publicity events that Greyhounds As Pets does so we want to make another HUGE impression this year. We've well and truly beat our efforts of 110 people and 50 greyhounds that attended in 2007.
At close of registrations we had 179 people registered - a HUGE effort, but it still may not be enough for us to win, so make sure you're there on the day and you register as part of our team!
Registrations have now closed, but it's still not to late to help us win the largest team for the third year running!
You can register on the day from 8am and don't forget to tell them you are proud to be a part of the Greyhounds As Pets team! |
