FIFTH ANNUAL SUN CITY TEXAS NONPROFITS FAIR
AGA is participating in this Georgetown event for the second year in a
row and hope to make an even bigger splash this year. The fair will be
on Friday Feb. 17, 2012 from 9am-1pm. Fair organizers will not allow
our beautiful greys inside, so volunteers and their hounds are needed
to hold an “informal Meet & Greet” under the covered portico at the
building’s entrance. AGA will have a table indoors, so if you can
volunteer to work the table for an hour or two let Tish know. If your
talent is setting up a venue, she can use your help there, also!
Contact Ti...@Strandboge.com to volunteer.

REMINDER
AGA still has 2012 calendars for sale. If you can buy one for your
beauty salon, your feed store, out-of-town friends, etc. we would
certainly appreciative it. AGA works hard to provide the best
adoption experience in central Texas. Comments are often heard about
our friendliness, our desire to find the right home for our greys, and
the support we offer “after the sale”. We have this outstanding
reputation because of people like YOU. There are many ways you can
help. Check out the various ways on the “How You Can Help” link on
the website!

CTW Zingara aka Amber Joy
has been adopted by Herbert & Linda Heyman of Leander. Herbert sent
along this comment with a few pictures, “Here are some pictures of our
beautiful Greyhound, Amber Joy. It's taken her only a few short weeks
to have us completely trained!”

CONDOLENCES
Harry & Dayna Blazey are grieving the loss of their beautiful Katy.
Dayna reports that she was a Diva until the end. Katy’s loss is
especially touching for us because she and Abby aka “Mama” who we lost
last Spring were among the first greys AGA “rescued”.

BROODIES
The follow is a list of the old mama dogs at the Peck kennels. These
special ladies will make your heart smile as they adjust to being a
couch potato. If you feel one of your gifts is to care for these
“short timers”, do not hesitate to contact us. They are waiting
patiently in their pen for someone to call their name.
