Hi Lyle,

A friend recently brought me a copy of your Jan 20th paper featuring a cover article on greyhound adoption. While your coverage was quite informative and extensive, I thought it was interesting that you did not mention our rescue group, Greyhound Connection. We serve all of San Diego but are based out of North County, unlike the other groups you referenced. I'm sure our group would have been of particular interest to your North County readers.

I'm wondering if you would consider printing a brief follow-up in an upcoming issue, telling people about our group. Our website is www.greyhoundconnection.org and we are an all-foster organization.  Unlike the other groups, we do not have a kennel facility so all of our dogs are fostered prior to placement. This gives them a chance to learn to live as pets before meeting their new families, and also gives us a chance to get to know them a bit better before finding them a perfect home. Our adoption fee is $200 and includes spay/neuter, dental and vaccinations. Our small all-volunteer group prides itself on providing as much post-adoption support as is asked for, and we consider our adopters part of the GC family. We can be found holding regular meet n' greets at several north county pet stores and street fairs throughout the year.

I would be most grateful if you could give us any mention. If you would like more information on our group, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,

Lois Niven
