feemandvm Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I read this email in the Yahoo group "Greyt vets". It was not made by anyone affiliated by OSU: Hello fellow Veterinarians, Veterinary Technicians and Greyhound Adoption Volunteers, I am emailing the group as an appeal to keep the OSU Greyhound Health & Wellness Program alive and thriving. Rumor has it that the money in the program is at an all time low. This is not surprising due to the state of our economy and budget cuts across the board for all Universities in the country. I personally could not imagine greyhound practice w/out the use of this program and the assistance I receive from Dr Couto and his staff at OSU. As I searched the OSU Greyhound Health & Wellness site I found out just how easy it was to make a donation to this valuable program. All I had to do was click on the site below, fill in the info and the donation comes right from my credit card. Please join me in keeping this program alive. https://www.giveto.osu.edu/igive/OnlineGivi...amp;Fund=310050 Quote Bill Lady Bella and Sky at the bridge "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." -Anabele France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KennelMom Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Is this the same as what Hope for Hounds raises money for or are the funds different? OSU was fantastic in responding when our girl Harmony was so ill. I will make a donation directly to the program today, but for future donations I'd like to know how H4H and OSU H&W are related...in other words...do donations to H4H help the Health & Wellness program?

Yes. H4H donations go directly to this program. You can see the H4H page here: Hope For Hounds. The H4H page refers to the program as the Health and Welfare program, but it is actually the Health and Wellness program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenwinniesmom Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks for posting this, Dr. Bill. When we had our Meet and Mingle auction at Dewey last year, we donated all the proceeds to Dr. Couto. And The Greyhound Project matched the donation, so it was doubled! If there are any groups out there who want to get as much bang for their buck as possible, I'd check with The Greyhound Project to see if they are still doing matching funds. They may not be, but if they are, that's great!

Guest VaGreymom Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I am a huge fan and supporter of Dr. C. Our group had 3 fundraising events last year just for OSU and the Greyhound Wellness Program.

HopeForHounds Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Is this the same as what Hope for Hounds raises money for or are the funds different? OSU was fantastic in responding when our girl Harmony was so ill. I will make a donation directly to the program today, but for future donations I'd like to know how H4H and OSU H&W are related...in other words...do donations to H4H help the Health & Wellness program? Yes it is Heather, but our funds cover the oncology side of things. This allows Dr Couto's team to provide treatment to greyhounds with cancer, as well as consult with vets accross North America about their cancer patients. They also provide free chemo to retired racing greyhounds. One of the things I am doing this year is using Hope for Hounds as a platform to raise money and awareness not only about the cancer research, but everything OSU does for us greyhound owners. I am speaking at Sandy Paws about the Greyhound Health and Wellness Program and Hope for Hounds. I just got some data from Dr Couto yesterday and Dr Marin is sending me pictures. I'm hoping this is something I can get invited to do at other greyhound events. This program is so important, and we are very lucky to have it. I'd hate to see it compromised by lack of funding. One of the goals of Hope for Hounds has been to give greyhound owners a presence. By donating to Hope for Hounds, all the $5.00, $15.00 and $30.00 donations add up to become one BIG cheque. Often when Dr Couto says he can get money for a project the Dean will say okay but how? Dr Couto tells him you don't know greyhound owners! Since HfH started making regular donations, we prove him right with every cheque. The last few have been sizeable too. Together we make a big difference.

Jilly and Josh Us three! I wanted to respond earlier this afternoon, but I got emotional at work thinking about everything Dr. Couto, Dr. Marin, and the whole OSU team has done for us. Bonnie got AMAZING care between our local vets and OSU. It certainly took a load off knowing that the chemo medications were going to be sent at no charge. We will be making a donation again in honor of Bonnie. BTW, you can submit memorial donations. OSU set one up for Bonnie. Here's her page- Bonnie's Memorial And here's where you go to submit the memorial- Memorial Donation Form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullMetalFrank Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I just donated, that was easy. Thank you, Dr. Feeman for bringing this up. I have never had to rely on the OSU team (thank God and knock on wood) but for everyone here who has, and for my own peace of mind, I can't imagine what things would be like without them!

Guest manymanyhounds Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 OSU has been and will continue to be a recipient of Sandy Paws grants as well. Dr Couto's dedication to the greyhound is amazing.

Guest jeannejj Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I will be sure to make a donation on behalf of my Mack. My vet Dr. Barnett got her veterinary degree at OSU, and knows Dr Couto. She is one of the kindest and most compassionate vets I know. I feel very lucky to have her, and appreciate all that Dr. Couto does for greys. Thanks, Dr. Feeman.
