Donations
Greyhound Crossroads is a 501C3 non-profit that depends on donations to re-home and vet our greyhounds.
We ask adopters to give a minimum donation of $450 for their greyhound, which goes directly to the dogs in some form. Most of our dogs require about $500-$600 in vet care (spay/neuter, shots, teeth cleaning, complete physical, etc.) but sometimes they come with injuries which cost far more than that amount. A trip to the specialist vet for broken legs or severe health problems has cost us $3000 to $6000. Some racing owners are able to help out with expenses for their racers and get injuries repaired before we get them, but many are unable to. We take greyhounds either way.
Sometimes we get older dogs with really bad teeth (greyhounds tend to have bad teeth that require frequent cleanings). Many times we have to remove teeth or do major work to improve their dental health. This alone can cost up to $800.
Our volunteers often have to drive long distances to pick up greyhounds from their previous owners. Our volunteers also have to get the dogs to and from our greyhound vets across the state. We are glad to reimburse them for their travel expenses. We also supply our foster homes with food for their fosters or reimburse them for food.
You can see why donations are so important to us. You can choose to make donations toward our general fund that covers all vetting or give to our special foster fund that buys food and pays for transportation for our fosters. Just specify what fund you want your donation to go into. We accept Paypal donations at GcPaypal@yahoo.com.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization, which means you get a tax deduction every time you help us! For donations above $250, you'll need a statement for your income taxes with our name and information. Just ask!
For donations below $250 you may document with your own receipts or a statement from us - whichever is easier. Again, just ask!
(If you're in doubt, ask your tax accountant because we know more about dogs than taxes. Also - adoptions fees are not deductible because you are receiving goods with value for your donation.)
You can pay us with Paypal to the account "GcPaypal@yahoo.com" or by sending a check to
