Dear friends,

on Saturday March the 2nd, we had the honour of welcoming 22 greyhounds in Italy, who are now enjoying their new life as pets.

As usual this was only possible thanks to great team work, and our thank yous go to:

the GREYHOUNDS who are very special beings, it's impossible not to love them

our adopters

our home checkers and all our volunteers

our vet Dr. Ileana Mainini (Castano Primo, Milan)

everyone at the Agriturismo La Cascina Selva in Ozzero (Milan)

the Irish rescues, trainers and owners for sending the dogs in such good shape

the IGB for their financial support

Kathleen whose usual all-round support is invaluable

A BIG thank you to Dominic and Tony for the great skill and care they have used to get the dogs to Italy.

The dogs arrived in excellent condition and they were all sociable and very happy to meet their new families!

We'd also like to thank all the people who sent dogs for taking the time and making the effort to provide spot on and reliable profiles. Thanks to this all the greyhounds have settled in immediately including the cat trainable ones.

We'll post links to pictures of the big day ASAP.

Your eGn Team

Well done to all concerned. I can't even imagine the time and coordination needed to organise an event like this. Thanks for finding a home for chunky.
