Hi. My name is Powder Puff. I was adopted by the Jensky family last year. I came from a very sad place but look at me now! The best thing about my new home is my new friend Bella, the rescued Greyhound. We love each other so much. We even eat together! I can't imagine my life without her.

Did you know that greyhounds are bred for one purpose only - to be a racing dogs that make money for their owners?

Please look at these statistics:

* Only 60% of greyhound puppies ever get a chance to race.

* Of that number, less than 40% will survive two years.

* An estimated 40,000 greyhounds are put to death each year simply because they are not fast enough or are past their prime.

We just wanted to make you aware of this in case you are looking to save a beautiful greyhound. Please search for rescue groups in your area. I know my friend Bella would appreciate it.
