Hounds and Heroes Announces Contest Among Three Branches of the Armed Services
West Palm Beach, FL – The Hounds and Heroes (H and H) organization trains retired racing greyhounds as service dogs and donates them to veterans in need. This is a portion of Awesome Greyhound Adoptions, Inc.
H and H is running a contest to see who can donate the most – Army, Navy or Marines. We have a dog nearly ready for placement that is going to an Army veteran. We have another greyhound that just went to his trainer yesterday to begin his training for a Marine veteran. And we have a Navy veteran who is waiting to get a dog next. More applications are coming in every day. Training of these dogs takes approximately four to six months with the trainer, greyhound and veteran working together during the last two months.
We have extended a challenge to those who support the veterans and their need for a service dog and want to see whose dog will be fully sponsored first with the donations to the Army, Navy or the Marines veteran and service dog.
Please note that we accept all donations through paypal or propay on the web site AwesomeGreyhoundAdoptions.org but will need a note in the memo section that the donation was made for which branch of service. Or we can accept checks directly to Awesome Greyhound Adoptions and mailed to AGA at 226 SE First Avenue – Boynton Beach, FL 33435 with a note in the memo section as to the branch of service.
whether complete sponsorship for a dog or a partial donation towards the sponsorship. Sponsor the greyhound throughout the entire process is $4000 – taking the dog clear through from initial selection at the compound throughout training and the turning over of the greyhound to the veteran owner four to six months intensive training of dog and training of the veteran and dog together.
Sponsor the greyhound itself as it goes through training – $1000 – spay or neuter, dental, titers, shots, microchip, collar, lead, tag collar, glucosamine and chondroitin, fish oil tablets, six months heartworm meds, service dog coat, food for the four to six months the dog is in training and anything else the dog needs during training.
