We are glad to announce that 26 Irish greyhound has arrived safe and sound in Modena Italy last 20 February and they are now enjoying a new life
All dogs were picked up by their adopters, as usual each of them had a family checked by our volunteers all over Italy.

We like to thank for the great collaboration
PAWS , Gina and her staff - 20 retired greyhound
Alma & Muriel Carroll - 6 greyhound
IGB for the transport contribution and for the general support
Ben McBride & Brendan Rogers our best driver
Our friends from the Slovenian Association SASIN
Vet. Scianti from the Clinica Estense in Modena for having checked our dogs and looked after them all day long
Posh&Chic Greyhound for the technical and fashionable stuff
We thank those trainers who provided to neuter, vaccinate their dogs and keep them in a great shape until the departure.
