NewsJoey’s Roo News! First Freedom Flight! The First Freedom Flight via Pilots N Paws is happening on Friday, May 28th. Four lucky pups will be arriving at Lunken Airport! Two mamas, ages 10 and 9, are on this very important flight. Applepie is the daughter of one of the moms, and she will be making the trip with her mom. We are eager to greet these lucky greyhounds from Naples, Florida. A huge thanks to our pilots, Janine and Mike, who are making it happen! Annual Spring Yard Sale Many Many Thanks to everyone who contributed items and who worked at the annual spring yard sale to raise money for the incoming greyhounds from the Florida tracks. Donations May has been an awesome month for donations from individual supporters. The vet bills, and other expenses associated with the incoming greyhounds has been higher than normal due to the deteriorating conditions at the racing kennels. We would not be able to provide for the incoming greyhounds if it weren’t for so many loving and kind-hearted people who love to help a retired greyhound find its forever home! Thank you! Thank you! Naples Track Closing for Season on May 31, 2010 Due to the track at Naples closing for the season, there have been a high number of needy greyhounds needing adoption groups. The situation at Naples is urgent. Several wonderful groups have stepped up to the plate and have committed to taking the Naples dogs. A hauler with 12 lucky pups will be leaving Naples the first weekend in June. This year promises to be a very busy year with many many greyhounds needing retirement homes! Please help by fostering/adopting/donating! Books-A-Million Fundraiser – June 5th We will be at Books-A-Million, Bridgewater Falls, Hamilton Ohio 45011 on June 5th. This is a big fundraiser for Joey’s. If you buy books at the store on June 5th, Joey’s will receive a percentage of each sale. Please plan to shop at Books-A-Million on June 5th. Mark your calendars!

If you took your greyhounds off heartworm preventative for the winter, please remember that now is the time to start your greyhound back on heartworm preventative. Those nasty little mosquitoes will be buzzing around again before you know it. Down in Sarasota, Pilots Janine and Mike are getting restless and are anxious to start flying more greyhounds north again. They love helping the greyhounds get a second chance at a new life. Janine and Mike adopted their first greyhound a month ago. They are now the proud parents of Sidney. We are expecting more girls to arrive from Florida on March 27th. Only this time the pilots will be driving and not flying! Their plane is currently undergoing maintenance. A huge thanks to Janine and Mike for saving the lives of the Naples greyhounds. Once again, Joey's is having a Spring Yard Sale to benefit the greyhounds. If you have items that you would like to donate, please contact us. Greyt NeedleNose News! The 2010 Travel Sports and Boat Show was a huge success! The greyhounds were wonderful ambassadors and a big hit with the public. The greyhound exposure was awesome and we hope for many good adoptions from the event. A very big thanks to everyone who took time from their busy schedules to travel downtown and attend the show. And, of course, a special thanks to all the greyhounds who attended. They are the big stars! Suzanne President Joey’s Greyhound Friends of Ohio Need a new collar to start the New Year off right?
