COGR and Touchdown need your help!
Touchdown is a red and white 3 year old greyhound that was rescued from the Fayette County Dog Pound after an owner surrender. Touchdown arrived at COGR underweight, un-neutered and was heartworm positive. This sweet boy is very friendly and does well with cats and small dogs. Since he was not yet showing symptoms of heartworm infection, we expect him to make a full recovery and be a greyt pet, but we need your help to get him there.

The treatment for heartworm is very extensive - it takes 12 weeks and requires Touchdown to be confined to a crate and kept quiet for the duration of his treatment. One of our wonderful foster parents has agreed to nurse Touchdown back to health while he recovers, but the treatment is also very expensive.

Please consider making a donation, no matter how small, to help us get Touchdown on the road to recovery and ready for his new home.

Central Ohio Greyhound Rescue was incorporated in June 2003. We are a nonprofit all volunteer 501 (c) (3) organization that relies solely on fundraising and donations to continue our work.

Our goal is promote greyhound adoption in the Central Ohio area.

Between the track and their new homes our local greyhounds live in foster homes where "foster parents" help them learn the facts of home life and become familiar with the personality of each dog.

COGR attempts to match dog’s temperaments to the lifestyles of the prospective adopters as much as possible.

Our goal is to make permanent lifelong placements for our greyhounds where both the adopter and dogs are happy and to provide ongoing support to our greyhounds and adopters after the adoption.

In addition to our own Columbus foster greyhounds, COGR is also working together with Greyhounds Adopting Families out of West Virginia to assist them in placing some of their retired racers.

Please make sure to stop by our Adoption Process page for more information.

COGR will only place dogs in the Central Ohio area.

Please visit the The Greyhound Project, Inc. site for a geographical listing of adoption groups across the country.

Please visit Pet Meds for more information about Pet Meds supporting rescue organizations.

 





COGR is a proud recipient of a Pedigree Foundation grant.
Pedigree also very generously donates the food we feed our foster hounds.
