Friends of Greyhounds is a non-profit (501c3) corporation whose mission is to provide retired racing greyhounds with a caring environment and loving homes, and to educate the public about these noble loyal dogs.

Friends of Greyhounds is a final ray of hope for greyhounds that have no place to go after they retire from racing. Originally founded in Sunrise, Florida, Friends of Greyhounds adopts to qualified adopters throughout the South Florida area. In 2002 they were offered use of an adoption kennel in Hialeah, in northern Miami-Dade County and they now hold open houses there every weekend. They also try to work festivals and events in Delray Beach and Boca Raton in Palm Beach County as well as in Broward and Miami-Dade. In 2003 they were pleased to launch a southern group in Monroe County to service the Florida Keys. They have placed dogs all the way from Key West to Key Largo!

If you are in the area, please take a ride down and see the greyhounds at the weekly open house at the kennel in Hialeah where you can get to know the greyhounds that are available for adoption and ask the knowledgeable volunteers any questions you may have. They've placed retired greyhounds in great homes in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Pompano, Coral Gables, Hollywood, Boca Raton, Delray Beach and everywhere in between and they're very proud of the work they do. Remember – you don't have to own a greyhound to volunteer.

A Furry Fairy Tale
By Celeste Fraser Delgado/MOLI

Yesterday an enormous, affable golden retriever showed up in my front lawn. Oh, no, I thought, this is going to entail tracking down Pals-4-Paws, an organization affiliated with a nearby college that neuters feral cats and finds homes for strays. I'd already had a Do-Gooder adventure this week; I wasn't up for another one. But it turns out the dog came bearing only good will.

Dog Show
By Celeste Fraser Delgado/MOLI

Media-savvy animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has a knack for celebrity endorsement, signing on stars from Pamela Anderson, who stripped to protest fashionable furs, to Chrissie Hynde, who blasted Pamplona's running of the bulls. Yesterday's guilty plea by Atlanta Falcons star quarterback Michael Vick for felony conspiracy to promote dogfighting has served PETA as a reverse endorsement.
