In memory of Okie Allison   May 8, 1995 - July 2, 2008
www.renewedlife.org/ebay

Okie Allison raced six times, her maidens, in 1996 at the Dubuque Iowa track.   Allison was adopted and twelve years later surrendered to the humane society.  Renewed Life received a call and Allison was sprung from the kennel.

  She was running a fever probably from the massive infection in her mouth - her teeth were awful and oozing blood, even her eyes had pus in them.  Her nails were long.  She was emaciated to the extreme, not eating, had diarrhea, and then the vet found a hard mass in her stomach.  So the hardest decision was the kindest.  We will never be able to understand people who have a pet for 12 years, let her live in such poor condition, and then leave
her in a humane society kennel to live in fear for the last days of her life.

Renewed Life for Greyhounds is running an Ebay auction where 100% of the money will go to pay Allison's expenses and to help other greyhounds in need, in memory of Okie Allison.  The items in the auction are FABULOUS....Sarah Snavely art work, unique jewelry - for both human and hound, a raised feeder from Trendy Pet (featured on ABC's Extreme Home Makeover)    - here is the link again

Or will you make a donation to help with Allison's vet work and cremation? Please use the PayPal link on the Renewed Life web site www.renewedlife.org or mail a check to

Renewed Life for Greyhounds,

Olive MI 49460.

Okie Allison, a beautiful brindle girl with a white tipped tail, who raced 6 times, is now a Renewed Life greyhound forever.  Please light a candle for Allison!

For the hounds,

Old Fella Senior Fund
The Greyhound Angel Network is proud to announce the formation of the Old  Fella Senior Fund.
This fund has been designed to provide financial assistance for greyhounds 10 years and older who may face medical conditions that result in higher veterinary care costs.  Although we are aware that in many arenas the age for a senior greyhound begins at 8 years, we felt that the older ones often face other challenges not necessarily seen in 8 and 9 year olds.
The Old Fella Senior Fund was named in honor of the beloved greyhound fellow, Old Fella, that touched the hearts of so many greyhound lovers.  This is truly a heartbreaking story that luckily has a happy ending.  For those who are not familiar with the story of Old Fella, or perhaps are looking for an update, please visit the Heart of Texas Greyhound Adoption website:  www.heartoftexasgreyhounds.com/oldfella.htm

Old Fella will also be the first recipient of funds through this special project as he continues to face some medical challenges due to his advanced age and treatment prior to entering the HOT program.  His extended greyhound family, his adoption group, would like to offer him some alternative care, acupuncture and chiropractic treatments, but they need some help in order to do so.  This wonderful boy deserves all the love and care possible so please help us help him.  For more current photos of Old Fella please visit the Greyhound Angel Network at: www.greyhoundvillage.com

The Old Fella Senior Fund will be an ongoing project and donations will always be accepted for it.  Many of us have opened our homes to senior greyhounds and found that they have touched our hearts and lives in some very special ways.  Your generosity will allow us to offer support to these gentle souls when they need us most.

Donations will be accepted via Pay Pal using GreySupport@aol.com.  Checks can be mailed to Greyhound Angel Network, PO Box 721465, Houston, TX 77272. 

Be sure to specify that your donation is for the Old Fella Senior Fund.  Requests and distribution of funds will be subject to the same guidelines as all other requests and donations through the Greyhound Angel Network.
