He will not let them get near him and he has on a collar and tag. They live at Tatum Highlands. She is concerned that a coyote may get him. They are putting food out for him. Is there anything any of you can do to help her. We do not work with anything but greyhounds and have no place to put a little guy like this.

Our monthly nail trim clinic is this Saturday March 13, 2010 from 10-1 at Phoenix Greyhound Park. All proceeds go to support of the retired greyhounds up for adoption. The cost is $5 per dog and we have available a punch card that you can get and every 6th nail trim is free. We are in the paddock area of the track, where they used to get the dogs ready for racing. It is easiest to enter off 37th Street to avoid Park N Swap, park in the valet/VIP parking lot and enter the paddock through the large sliding gate on South Side of Wall, by the old trailer and follow the signs into the paddock. Only greyhound please, see you there.

Seems only a year or so ago that you got him, I remember well. These guys get old much too fast. Remember Dynamo & Country - both are gone now. Dynamo lived to the age of 14 and Country to 13.
