All-volunteer group looking for people to adopt former racing dogs.

The Cross River-based Greyhound Rescue and Rehabilitation volunteer group is looking for a few good homes rescued Greyhounds. The group held it's monthly fund-raising and adoption meet-and-greet in front of Choice Pet Supply in Hartsdale on Saturday afternoon.

Local volunteers from around the region serving as temporary "foster parents" for some of the animals brought their hounds to the event showing people how docile the animals are, sharing information about the breed, the organization and how to go about adopting one of the dogs.

My Mom had a Greyhound Rescue back in the early 90's. He was in a shelter in lower westchester. She named him "Rescue"! He was one of the best dogs that she/we ever had! Don't let their size fool you. They are big mushy couch potatos!! Keep Adopting!!!

Wonderful efforts from a great bunch of humans! In the future, it would be a major help to them if you posted something in advance before the event, so that more people could see it and share it. Thank you!

I'm glad to see someone else put on paper some of the reaction I have had to being required to pay aRead More fee to park at WestMed. I think the fee is unconscionable! I was even more insulted when I received a tone-deaf response to my complaint about the fee from the head of WestMed. I understand that WestMed ended up paying considerably more for the parking facility than anticipated, but that's no justification for charging clients who have no choice but to park there in order to receive vital services. It's a gross insult to the patients. It's not our fault that WestMed had to cough up more dough. With new WestMed locations being opened every few months, clearly the company is not hurting financially. And, what's most ridiculous, is that they hired a staff of four or five parking attendants to issue tickets and instruct us how to pay for the parking! Why not use their salaries to help defray the facility's cost? You're right that it's pure greed because WestMed could have chosen to recoup the cost more slowly and not charge a fee. When I expressed my displeasure about the fee to my doctor, he posed an interesting question: when the facility's cost is paid off, will WestMed continue to charge for parking? By this time, WestMed has certainly recouped enough of the cost to make a dent in the overall expense. It's time to get rid of the fee and restore some dignity to what used to be a fine organization. In the past I heartily recommended family, friends and many others to WestMed. Now, I've got a very nasty taste in my mouth about WestMed! Shame on you, WestMed!

It's not true that parking is required. You could do as I do and walk there (assuming it isRead More actually the White Plains office you are referring to and not Harrison), or take a bus, or a taxi, or have someone drop you off and pick you up. And if you aren't happy with their service, go somewhere else. There are lots of doctors not affiliated with Westmed.

Clifford, thanks for your two cents! How lucky for you that you can walk to your doctor's office andRead More not have to pay to park!
