Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: A while ago you published a letter from Janet Huey from Racers Recycled in Houston.

I followed up with her and received the name of a Birmingham, Ala., greyhound adoption center.

Now I have a very manageable, loving pet that is neutered, housebroken and great with my 2-1/2-year-old granddaughter.

These people do a wonderful job and are to be commended. Thanks. - Joe Archer, Florence, Ala.

They are great and so are you! It’s wonderful to know you’re delighted with your pet. Janet has received lots of letters like yours and it thrills her (and my office) to know all those beautiful dogs have gone to so many loving homes.

There are more than 120 adoption groups in the United States and Canada. Racers Recycled will put you in touch with a group close to you.

For anyone interested in learning more about adopting these gentle, beautiful dogs, please write to Racers Recycled, PO Box 270107, Houston TX 77277-0107. They refer by ZIP code, so if you live near a large city in another state, please include that ZIP code too. - Heloise
