locks to raise money for greyhounds<br />
“Adyson really loves fostering,<br />
she’s always asking us ‘When are<br />
we getting our next dog?’,” Tania<br />
said.<br />
“She loves the different personalities<br />
greyhounds have, how<br />
gentle they are and how goofy<br />
they can be. <strong>The</strong>y usually only<br />
play for a few minutes then have<br />
a big sleep.”<br />
And as much as Adyson had<br />
enjoyed having long hair, there<br />
were some things she wasn’t<br />
missing, such as accidentally<br />
sitting on the ends when it wasn’t<br />
tied up, and having to make sure<br />
no strands were left out when it<br />
came to shampooing.<br />
Adyson’s fundraising for<br />
Greyhounds As Pets is via two<br />
avenues. As well as the $1000<br />
donated by supporters through<br />
a Givealittle page, Adyson will<br />
donate the money she gets from<br />
selling her hair for wig making.<br />
This amount will be confirmed<br />
once Adyson’s locks are assessed<br />
for colour, weight and length.<br />
Her supporters include <strong>The</strong><br />
Salon at West Melton, where she<br />
had her hair cut for free.<br />
Greyhounds as Pets marketing<br />
team lead Emelia Lake said Adyson<br />
and her family were “truly<br />
inspirational” in their support of<br />
the charity.<br />
“It really highlights how these<br />
beautiful dogs leave an everlasting<br />
impression on all they meet<br />
along their journey,” Lake said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> charity had many<br />
greyhounds in the South Island<br />
waiting for their homes. She<br />
urged anyone thinking of<br />
adopting to get in touch. <strong>The</strong><br />
charity was also on the lookout<br />
for more foster carers, donations<br />
and volunteers.<br />
• If you’re considering<br />
adopting, you can contact<br />
