Change is in the air!

As you can see, we have made some major changes over the last few days! We have decided to go in a new direction and change our name to James River Greyhounds. We expect greyt things over the next few months. You can still find us on the web at www.jamesrivergreyhounds.org or email us at jrg@jamesrivergreyhounds.org.
Rest assured, our mission hasn't changed. We are still working hard to place retired racing greyhounds from Florida in their forever homes! We will continue to have our normal meet and greets and local events. We have just chosen to go in this new and exciting direction! We hope to see you and your hounds in the future! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. If you have adopted from us in the past, your emergency line and support group still exists. If you would like to adopt from us in the future, please contact us soon!

Above all else, hug your hounds!
Sincerely,
James River Greyhounds Board of Directors
