Watch the progress with our new trailer!

GC has purchased our very

own dog trailer!

From your assistance to our reality-- the first GC Dog Trailer!

ALL (100%) donations made toward this project will be used in transporting new dogs!

Your Greyhound Crossroads volunteers worked very hard last year, sponsoring many events with the focus of increasing our adoptions and bringing in much-needed funds.  As we discussed what could be done to help them be more effective, the idea of a trailer was suggested.  Just by coincidence, a dear greyhound friend was going out of business and needed to sell her 'old reliable' transport trailer.  Your volunteers are proud to announce our very first trailer!

She may look a little rough, but most used aluminum trailers do.  She's solid and ready to roll though!  With a little sprucing up and some loving shine, she'll work just great for transporting our dogs in comfort.

She's what they call a 'four-holer', meaning she has four doors and four extra-large transport holes inside.  In a pinch, eight greyhounds can be carefully chosen and transported for short hauls.  This will help GC move dogs quicker and more efficiently!  There's a rack on the top for hauling supplies too, where we hope to mount a toolbox and other supplies.

What we need to get her on the road right away:

3 new mounted 13 inch, five lug wheels (best price so far is $58 each at our favorite Greenwood tire place)

The tire size we need....apparently they come premounted on the rim as a 'trailer standard' from farm supply or tire shops.

a standard lighting kit for rewiring the lights-- donated by Anderson Auto Parts!

a jack and lug wrench-- donated by Iva Pawn Shop!

Other things we'd like to have to make the trailer as safe as possible to use:

a toolbox w/ simple tools--

a crank-up trailer stand like you'd use for a small boat trailer to keep it level-- donated by Lee's Marine!

5 or 6 keyed-alike padlocks--

safety flashers-- donated by Carquest of Anderson!

reflective tape-- donated by Carquest of Anderson!

license plate holder-- donated by Mathews RV Sales & Service!

carpet & repair work--

vinyl lettering for memorials

vinyl lettering for logo and GC info

spare wheel mounting bracket

flashlights-- donated by Carquest of Anderson!

Estimated price of the trailer and repairs:  $900

Total pledged from Sponsors:  $525

Remaining to Sponsor:  $400

Sponsorships are still available!  Help us pay for the trailer with a permanent memorial!

Trailer Project, Stage 2!

A wonderful man, Bonnie Johnson's father........, gave months of his time to overhaul the trailer for us.  He did many needed repairs, improved the usability, and made it safe for a bunch of ladies to drive to Florida.

Thanks Bonnie's Dad!  You're AWESOME!
