CHANGING THE WORLD … ONE GREYHOUND AT A TIME!<br />

ROSE is a petite 66 lb.,<br />
honey fawn female<br />
who will be 3-years old<br />
in June. Rose tested<br />
small-dog trainable with<br />
a chihuahua and she is<br />
currently fostered in the<br />
Wilmington area. If you<br />
are the perfect home<br />
for Rose, please review<br />
the Adoption Eligibility &<br />
Requirements prior<br />
to submitting an<br />
application.<br />
ADOPT A RETIRED RACING GREYHOUND!<br />
Greyhounds are calm, easy-going, sweet, loving, intelligent, clean, good<br />
with kids and other dogs … and some even like cats! Most are between<br />
2-5 years old when they retire and have a life expectancy of 12-14 years.<br />
All Greyhounds are spayed/neutered, teeth cleaned, vaccinated, heartworm<br />
tested,de-wormed and groomed. A one-time adoption donation covers all<br />
these expenses. Meet our Greyhounds and learn more. For information,<br />
(828) 692-4986 or (828) 230-2917. E-mail: sherryc@morrisbb.net.<br />
Like dogs and cats, birds are now facing epidemic overpopulation and homelessness.<br />
There aren’t enough homes - especially good homes - for every bird bred! Because of<br />
their demanding needs, parrots, like the Umbrella Cockatoo, above, are often victims.<br />
Thousands of birds are displaced each year simply because their caretakers can no<br />
longer provide the time and attention they require - either because they are not educated<br />
about bird care or because their lives and interests change. The least fortunate unwanted<br />
birds are passed from home to home before dying from neglect or abuse, or they are<br />
euthanized. The lucky ones end up in shelters and sanctuaries are filling up fast!<br />
If you are ready to make a lifetime care commitment, you can help solve this problem<br />
by not breeding birds and by adopting a displaced bird rather than buying one from a pet<br />
store. Bird rescue, adoption, and sanctuary organizations can also use volunteers and<br />
donations to help care for their birds. Please spread the word to your fellow bird lovers -<br />
thousands of parrots and other birds will thank you!<br />
