I would like to take this time
to introduce myself, I am Wanda
Abeyta. During your greyhounds
stay I will be their host.
In 1993 with the adoption of our first
greykid Lizzie, my love for greyhounds
started and grew. She forever
changed
my life and that of hundreds of
greyhounds. Up until 1999 my
daughter & I stayed active with
the
rescue that we adopted Lizzie through.
With my zest for this endeavor, I
decided that I would like to do more
and started my own greyhound rescue
in April of 2000. Countless greyhounds
received a second chance over the
years as GC has grown. With our move
to Sahuarita, I stepped down from my
board position and bid farewell to GC.
Today, Greyhound Connection is
thriving and greyhounds are living new
and exciting lives, thanks to the
many dedicated volunteers. Since
2000, with GC being in need of dogs,
a life long friendship was created
between GAL, Lorri Tracy and our
family. It only seemed natural to
retire to Tucson and continue where
I left off in San Diego.
Today, as with most days, you will
find that I am volunteering for GAL by
managing their website, also among
our greyhounds you will find our many
fosters enjoying a new beginning in
our home.
As the need arises I will make trips to
Yuma to transfer greyhounds to various
greyhound rescues or haul up to 6 dogs
to San Diego for 3 different rescues. I
also have a group of volunteers that
help me with kitty testing, photographing
and evaluating the pets at Tuscon Greyhound
Park and the Blair pet kennel.
