The Greyhound Adoption League of Texas (GALT) celebrates over a decade of saving greyhound lives March 3 (6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.) with the 11th annual Greyt Gala Dinner and Auction to be held at the Hilton Dallas in Southlake Town Square.
This year’s theme Faith, Hope, and Charity, honors three of the many abused injured greyhounds cared for by GALT over the past several years; Faith, a female missing her right ear, was removed from a hoarder (along with her 8 puppies); Hope, a stray discovered cowering under a house near a busy highway on a freezing morning after suffering for months in the open without adequate food; and, Charity, found severely underweight at only 45 pounds due to starvation.
The annual event features cocktails, dinner, live and silent auction and a cadre of local celebrities and retired professional athletes who support GALT’s mission of “No Grey Turned Away.” Cost is $125 per person or $100 per person with the purchase of two or more tickets at the same time.
For over ten years, (GALT) has been the organization of choice for retired greyhounds requiring adoption services as well as the adoption organization of last resort for many injured, abused, and neglected Greyhounds.
Greyhounds make great pets and are fun to watch run in events like Lure Coursing.
