GALTx eNews: Summer Is A Greyt Time To Adopt!

Thanks to our hard working volunteers and generous foster families, we successfully moved all of the hounds at Houn House to foster homes. In our Dallas program, we now have nearly 30 hounds in foster care waiting for their forever families to find them and more with adoptions in the works. Two of our Dallas hounds remain on Injured Reserve recovering from heartworm and tick borne diseases. They will be adoptable as soon as they are well. We can't wait to see them all move on to forever homes as soon as they are ready! 

If you’ve been thinking about adopting a dog, Summer can be a great time! But please make sure this is the right time for you before you go racing out the gate. First, consider some circumstances that indicate you might want to wait and carefully review all of our adoption requirements and policies here. If this is the time for you, be sure to submit an on-line application so that we can start working with you to find your new best friend. The process can take a little while because it is thorough and managed entirely by volunteers in their available time. So please be patient with us. If you are seeking a cat safe hound, they remain in short supply and you can expect a longer wait. Click here to see who is currently available for adoption and here to see who soon will be.  

Moving our hounds out of the kennel and into foster homes helped us reduce our near term expenses, but it certainly doesn't eliminate them. Keeping this many hounds current on their veterinary needs and preparing them for adoption is expensive. We are still critically short on funds needed to welcome additional hounds to the GALT family. Please continue to support us and the hounds with a gift to our Nitsche Medical Fund today!

Can’t find a ton of info on this subject but thought this paper was interesting and relevant-

“Feeding behavior of nectarivorous true fairies (Mediocris sp.) and suspected convergent evolution of angiosperm morphology” (Walker et al)

do y'all reckon fairies would be pollinators
