Greyhound Angel Network Guidelines:

The Greyhound Angel Network has been created for the sole purpose of offering a place where retired racing greyhound fundraising efforts can be organized and maintained. It is a central location where those involved with retired racing greyhounds can come when there is an out of the ordinary medical or emergency expense incurred and the adoption group that has custody of the hound(s) needs some additional support.

The Greyhound Angel Network also offers a place where groups and individuals can request and coordinate GUR’s (Greyhound Underground Railroad transports) and we have opened a Senior Center devoted strictly to greyhounds in their golden years. If you are experienced with fundraising efforts and/or have knowledge to share with others, or you have a question about fundraising activities, there is a specific forum just for this information.

Participating on this Forum:

Please refrain from posting and/or becoming involved in greyhound racing discussions/debates. This is primarily a fundraising and support forum and there are other venues available for those types of discussions.

Violation of terms listed in these guidelines may result in the member’s suspension or termination from this forum. The decision to suspend or terminate an individual is at the discretion the Greyhound Angel Network Administrators.

Administrators reserve the right to change these terms at any time. Members are encouraged to review these terms from time to time.


Guidelines for Fundraising Activities:
Fundraising activities must be for legitimate non-profit greyhound adoption programs and efforts, and for special needs hounds that are currently in a non-profit adoption program. Other emergency greyhound related situations may be considered, must be legitimate and able to be verified. Fundraising for the greyhound racing industry in any part will not be accepted and any posts regarding such activities will be deleted at the discretion of the Administrators. The administrators of this forum have the ultimate right of refusal of any fundraising activity if they feel that it is not greyhound related or falsely represented. Administrators will do their best to maintain a safe and honest board but are not liable should a fraudulent group or individual represent themselves here. If you have a question regarding the authenticity of a fundraiser or request please send a private message to an Administrator.

Fundraising activities are, but not necessarily limited to, auctions, raffles, e-bay auctions and donation drives. All fundraising activities must be greyhound related with all or a portion of monies and/or materials collected going to support retired racing greyhounds.

The Greyhound Angel Network has been set up to be able to offer itself as a donation collection location. Donations for this type of fundraiser would be collected via PayPal or through snail mail contributions. The Administrators of this forum must approve all fundraising activities wherein use of this forum for donation collection purposes has been requested.

All donations collected through PayPal will be subject to PayPal fees, which are automatically deducted when the transaction is made. The Administrators of this forum are not responsible for making up these fees. An e-mail address will be available for those who wish to make donations through PayPal and can only be used for this purpose or other purpose offered by an administrator of this forum. Administrators of this forum are not responsible for any problems that occur with PayPal or the bank holding the funds after the transfer.

The Administrators of this forum will manage and distribute collected funds as appropriate based on the current fundraiser, and do so to the best of their abilities. Collected donations will be distributed based on information provided by the initiator of the fundraising activity. The administrators of this forum are not responsible for incorrect or false information provided by an individual or group. Donations received as a result of general fundraising activities initiated and managed by the Greyhound Angel Network and will be distributed as deemed appropriate by the administrators of this forum and based on existing needs, requests, etc.

Requesting Assistance (Hounds Needing Help)

The sub-forum, Hounds Needing Help, is a place where groups and greyhound adoption individuals can post their requests for assistance for out of the ordinary greyhound medical expenses, emergency expenses (i.e. Hurricane damage, fire, etc) and for transport of a greyhound(s) to an adoption program (emergency situations only please). Requests may be posted in this forum but will not appear as an active post until it is approved by an Administrator. The Administrator has the right to refuse a request for assistance if it does not meet the above criteria.

The Flea Market:

The Flea Market was opened as a place where greyhound merchandise exchanges such as a collar or coat exchange could be requested and coordinated. The Greyhound Village Mall is available for vendors and greyhound related merchandise but you are welcome to post your greyhound items for sale here as well.

Vendors and individuals who wish to offer ther products or items for auctions are welcome to post those notices at The Flea Market.

Welcome to the Greyhound Angel Network!!!
