Canine Cancer Can be Beaten!

 Please support this worthy cause:

Do you know what you would do if your greyhound was diagnosed with cancer?  Would you want to know about the various types of cancer, treatment options and where to go for help? Would you want to know that there is hope, and how you could help your beloved companion?

Join the Greyhound Supporters of the NCR http://www.gsncr.ca/ and enjoy a learning event with Dr. Guillermo Couto, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and professor at the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences of the Ohio State University.  Not only is Dr. Couto one of the world’s leading veterinary experts in oncology and hematology, he is a greyhound enthusiast who regularly provides veterinary advice and guidance to greyhound owners all around the world.

Dr. Couto will talk about cancer in dogs, signs to watch for, ways to treat cancer, which cancers may be more prevalent, current research into the possibility that cancer may be genetically predisposed, and more. Dr. Couto will also talk about various cancer-related research projects and ongoing cancer treatments at the Ohio State University (OSU). Included in his talk will be information about OSU’s Greyhound Health and Wellness Program - its purpose and benefits, and how greyhound owners can get involved. Dr. Couto became involved in Greyhound Rescue over 15 years ago when he adopted his first greyhound. Since then, Dr. Couto has become involved in assisting the SOS Galgos and Scooby Medina (Spanish Greyhound Rescue Groups). 

Dr. Couto visits Spain once a year, where he assists local Galgos rescue groups with a number of tasks related to health care in rescued hounds. This event is proudly sponsored by the Greyhound Supporters of the National Capital Region.  Anyone with a dog, or who is interested in learning more about canine cancer is welcome to attend.   Tickets are $45.00 per person and are available by contacting Tina Kelly via email at greyaddicted@hotmail.com or Laura Simmermon via email at info@gsncr.ca.  Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions when reserving your dinner tickets.  The meal choices are beef, salmon or vegetarian.  Please let us know if you will be bringing your greyhound (on leash).  Visit our web site for more information about this event as it becomes available.
