Old Fella Senior Fund
The Greyhound Angel Network is proud to announce the formation of the Old  Fella Senior Fund.
This fund has been designed to provide financial assistance for greyhounds 10 years and older who may face medical conditions that result in higher veterinary care costs.  Although we are aware that in many arenas the age for a senior greyhound begins at 8 years, we felt that the older ones often face other challenges not necessarily seen in 8 and 9 year olds.
The Old Fella Senior Fund was named in honor of the beloved greyhound fellow, Old Fella, that touched the hearts of so many greyhound lovers.  This is truly a heartbreaking story that luckily has a happy ending.  For those who are not familiar with the story of Old Fella, or perhaps are looking for an update, please visit the Heart of Texas Greyhound
