This book features a very special painting of Strider Paulsen by artist Valarie Wolf -
Valarie wrote this about her experience painting Strider from a photo provided by Judy:
'The painting was an experience filled with all sorts of emotions: Happiness when I completed a part of the painting and 'got it right'. Nervousness when I thought 'oh...what if it doesn't turn out 'just right'. Frustration when I had to redo sections over and over. Awe as to what a beautiful creature Srtider is and how I MUST do him justice! Crying when you told us that he was at the vet. Elation and gratitude when you received the portrait and liked it, for giving me the opportunity to paint your beloved pet, and for putting faith in me to do the job.
I will always be grateful for the experience.
Please give Strider hugs and kisses from me. I love him from afar.'
Please join us in supporting this wonderful cause, and become a proud owner of ‘Retired from Racing, Not From Life’.
Meet Maggie!
Maggie was surrendered to us by the person who purchased her when she was a puppy. She is now 2 years old. Her father and mother were both racing greyhounds, but for some reason the litter was never registered, nor tattooed.
Maggie is a large, timid girl. She gets along great with other dogs, though she is somewhat intimidated by new dogs at first, as she had been attacked by a pit bull mix at her previous home (scars on her neck are evidence of a brutal attack).
She had been kept outside in a pen, so she is just now learning how to live in a house and enjoy the comforts of doggie beds and lots of affection.
Once she learns to trust someone, she becomes a Velcro dog quickly!
If you are interested in giving Maggie or any of our other beautiful adoptable greyhounds their well-deserved forever home, please click here to complete our online adoption application.
Please help us raise funds for our veterinary expenses!
In honor of Greyhound rescues, Simple Dog Fundraisers is featuring their new 'I Love My Greyhound' bumper stickers and magnets:
You can choose between an All-Weather Bumper Sticker OR a Car/Fridge Magnet - they are 3.5" x 6" in rich, full color.
When you purchase your greyhound bumper sticker or magnet, $5.00 of each item purchased goes directly to Greyhound Companions of New Mexico!
Simply select us when prompted to choose a charity.
It’s a fun and easy way to help us, while showing your greyhound pride.
And, there are other breed sticker/magnets, too. If you want to select another breed besides a Greyhound – for a friend, relative or yourself - you can buy ANY available breed, including “mutt”, and $5.00 of those purchases will also go to GCNM!
So please help us today and click HERE to support the GCNM greyhounds.
We appreciate your support!
