Yesterday at OSU, a gentleman from our area of NE Ohio had driven the 2.5 hours with his lovely greyhound named Val, and brought her in to give her scheduled blood donation. We had a nice conversation with him in the waiting room. He belongs to a greyhound rescue organization and Val is his dog. He said greyhounds are most often the 'universal donor' blood type, and because of their large size and calm temperament they are perfect for donating blood. A greyhound can donate just less than a pint at a time.
He brings Val to OSU for scheduled donations and in return they provide her with free food all year, vaccinations, frontline and heartworm preventive.
Val was so happy when she came out to the waiting room - everyone there seems to know her! She had a hot pink bandage around her neck, and they brought out a trolley with her new bags of food on it. :jump:
