Help us earn an extra $10,000 for the dogs

A very special friend to the dogs wants to DOUBLE your Giving Tuesday gifts, all the way up to $10,000! You don’t have to wait until December 2nd — make your Giving Tuesday donation now and help change TWICE as many lives.

Can you imagine being a Greyhound during their first holiday in a real home? Delicious smells come wafting, happy music plays, and new toys appear like magic. Love radiates from the smiles and gentle greetings you get from everyone who comes to visit. You are with your family, your very own heaven on earth.

The love and joy you give in return is endless! You’ve perfected the “Greyhound hug” and soft nudges when you want special attention. Your eyes shine with love, and you are so happy you can’t help but do a silly zoomie around the room.

As the holidays approach, we make special memories with our own dogs and remember those from years past. Please also keep a place in your heart for the dogs who don’t have homes, the ones who will spend their holidays alone, those who wait to love and be loved by a family of their own.

What does it mean to change a life?

When you make a gift to Fast Friends, you are changing a dog’s life. You are rescuing a dog from the meat trade or bringing a retired racer across the ocean to start their new lives. But while that may be one of the most dramatic parts of the story, it is still only the beginning.

Changing a life means so much more than bringing a dog in need of a home to Fast Friends. It means getting to know that new arrival, just like you do with your own dog. What do they like? What are they afraid of? What skills do they need to work on? How can I make they happy and help them blossom into their very best self?

Some of the dogs that come to us seem to step right off the track and into a home without missing a beat. Others, especially those from the meat trade or rescued from abusive situations, stay with us for much longer, learning to trust and healing from injuries.

No dog should be alone on the holidays, or any other day.

Here at Fast Friends, we have adopters waiting to open their hearts and homes to a Greyhound or sighthound. With your gift, we can continue to bring these dogs from around the world to Fast Friends and find them the loving homes they deserve.
