Hi this is Cruiser. Just a week ago I was in a second foster home, working at meet-n-greets and still looking for my forever home. Now look at me, because of all the hard work and dedication of my GEM family of humans and fellow Retired Racing Greyhounds I am in a loving home with my new fur brother Pudgie!   I just wanted to sit a minute and say a really sincere “thank rooooo” to all of those who helped me get where I am today. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
