[NAME],
Hello from DallasDogLife!
I hope everyone survived the crazy weather we had last week and has their power restored! I must say, I was very proud of the DallasDogLife testing team. I'm really lucky that my dogs are not bothered by thunderstorms or fireworks and that they slept through most of the storms, even the tornado sirens. If your dog becomes aggitated or nervous during storms, be sure he's wearing his collar and ID tags in case he gets spooked and runs away so he can be reunited with you as soon as possible.
Featured Review: Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, Inc.
www.galt.org
Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, Inc. - or GALT - is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation operating in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and throughout Texas. GALT was established in 2001 and operates entirely through volunteer efforts and donations from the public. Their mission is to "facilitate placing Greyhounds in loving, responsible, forever homes" but that doesn't even scratch the surface of what this organization does on a day-to-day basis.
