In 1985, Claudia, with her afghan Jezebel, were vacationing in Vermont when they met two ex-racing greyhounds. Thoroughly captivated by their sweet, smart and calm demeanors, Claudia and Jezebel were appalled to find out that more than 50,000 a year, or about 150 greyhounds a day, were being killed. Killed because they were not making money for the people who owned them and trained them. Determined to make a difference, they adopted Eliminator from the Connecticut track, and worked with local groups to spread the greyhound word.

Jezebel and Eliminator left Claudia for Doggie Heaven in 1992. In 1993, Claudia left corporate America and the East Coast with her new greyhound, Slim. They left looking for land and freedom. Land to house rescued greyhounds and freedom to do some good and make a difference.

In 1995, in Kanab, Utah, with Slim and Beauty (Jeze and Eli are there in spirit), the Greyhound Gang was founded. Dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of ex-racing greyhounds, Beauty and Winslow welcome rescued greyhounds to their home every month. They show them how great a life lived can be. Claudia gets to clean, feed, fix, train, and, of course, love them. Slim and others watch all these antics from Doggie Heaven.

It all began with a chance encounter. It changed us, and we've changed others. That's all it takes to make a difference.
