The Greyhound Adoption League of Texas (GALT) celebrates over a decade of saving greyhound lives March 3 (6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.) with the 11th annual Greyt Gala Dinner and Auction to be held at the Hilton Dallas in Southlake Town Square.

This year’s theme Faith, Hope, and Charity, honors three of the many abused injured greyhounds cared for by GALT over the past several years; Faith, a female missing her right ear, was removed from a hoarder (along with her 8 puppies); Hope, a stray discovered cowering under a house near a busy highway on a freezing morning after suffering for months in the open without adequate food; and, Charity, found severely underweight at only 45 pounds due to starvation.
The annual event features cocktails, dinner, live and silent auction and a cadre of local celebrities and retired professional athletes who support GALT’s mission of “No Grey Turned Away.” Cost is $125 per person or $100 per person with the purchase of two or more tickets at the same time.
For over ten years, (GALT) has been the organization of choice for retired greyhounds requiring adoption services as well as the adoption organization of last resort for many injured, abused, and neglected Greyhounds.
The Hilton Dallas is located at 1400 Plaza Place, Southlake, TX 76092. For more information go to www.galtx.org or call John McQuade at 214-215-8216. Reception begins at 6pm, dinner at 7pm.
GALT is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit all-volunteer group dedicated to placing all greyhounds, primarily those that competed and trained for racing, into loving homes. GALT facilitates the adoption of greyhounds by providing kennel services and foster homes along with their medical needs, including spay and neuter, assisting them in the transition from track-life to home-life, and educating the public about why the greyhound has been a favored companion dog for more than 4,000 years.
