GOOD NEWS! - Isolation Kennel Building Approved!

The GPA Mass Isolation Kennel has been built and is finally approved by the state. We can now bring in dogs from out of state and provide them with a safe and greyhound friendly isolation experience. We want to thank everyone who donated to the cause, without your help we would be very limited to the number of dogs we could bring in due to the high cost of isolating them at another facility.

THANK YOU!

"The Star Thrower" by Dr. Loren Eiseley.

     One day, a wise man was walking on the beach before beginning his workday... As he walked, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He walked faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that the figure was that of a woman, and that she was not dancing at all. She was reaching down to the sand, picking up small objects and throwing them into the ocean.
     He came closer still and called out, "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?" The woman paused, looked up, and replied, "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
     "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man. To this, she replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."
     The wise man commented, "Do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach, and there are starfish along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"
     At this, the woman bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, she said, "IT MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR THAT ONE."
