Foster Dawn Heinemann
It’s not uncommon to get an email from Dawn Heinemann reading, “I’ve heard there may be new greyhounds who need a foster. I’m available!” Recently, Dawn reached out offering to provide foster care, but all our dogs had been placed in their forever homes. She must have ESP because a few days later, we had a rebound who needed a foster home. Along with Dawn, hounds Paisley and Honey welcomed in our boy Red.
Dawn has been a part of Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption since the early days. Over time, she has fostered approximately 15 to 20 greyhounds. Her current foster, Red, delights her with his antics. The recent update shared, “thank you so much for giving me time to work with him. He deserves an amazing life, and I’m grateful to be teaching him the ropes.” Her own hounds can be credited for teaching Red about zoomies and toys.
When not loving on greyhounds or selling homes with Long Realty Company, she is a talented potter whose work has been displayed at local galleries.
Many thanks to Dawn from SA Greys and the hounds she fostered and her help over the years.
