Tillie is Greyhound number four! She is an older girl, and will be 11 years old in August 2007. We don't know a lot about her past, but we do know that she raced for several years in Wisconsin at their two tracks. She must have lived with someone for several years after her racing career ended.

In March of 2007 she was picked up by animal control while wandering near the railroad tracks in Congress, AZ. She was quite thin (even by Greyhound standards), and not in very good condition. Supposedly her owner called and said he would pick her up, but no one ever came for her. She was turned over to our adoption group (GPA-AZ), and was in foster care for 6 weeks before we adopted her. In that time, she improved a lot, thanks to the love and car that Bud and Jan gave her. She did test positive for heartworm, and has undergone treatment. She appears to be doing well, and we will continue to monitor her progress.

She was welcomed into our home and pack by all, and has blended into the daily routine.
