Promoting the adoption of black greyhounds through their website dedicated to Black Greyhounds, which are sometimes hard to place simply because of their color. Too many people believe that a dog that is black is evil or their color indicates that the dog is vicious. Or perhaps black Greyhounds are harder to adopt than other colors because it is such a common color. Whatever the reason, many groups find it more difficult to find homes for their black dogs than any other color.

Embroidered ID collars from Lucky Pet

VAGA requires you to place an embroidered ID collar on your dog before you take him home. This collar should never be removed except to occasionally launder it. This collar is your greyhound's ticket home if he gets lost. It can also be a lifesaver if he is lost, injured, and requires medical attention from a county shelter. They will not treat an animal they can't identify and metal dog tags wear smooth in time and can't be read.

Order your collar by calling 1-800-543-8247 or online at www.luckypet.com. VAGA receives a donation when you mention you're a VAGA adopter at the time of order or when you enter "VAGA adopter' in the additional notes section of the online order form.
