Some sad news to pass along.
Long time volunteer for Greyhound Pet Adoption Las Vegas, Elaine Jones passed away on March 30, 2026. Elaine was 86 years old and lived the last almost 20 years volunteering for greyhounds in Las Vegas. Elaine began her post retirement "job" with us in 2007. She immediately began fostering and soon became a board member.
Elaine performed countless home visits of potential adopters (usually with her big boy, Hulk) and assisted with many of our meet & greets. She was always a very happy volunteer working at any of our events such as our annual picnic or at Wags, Whiskers and Wine. She and her husband Dale welcomed in our new retirees in their backyard to be assessed, bathed and photographed. Many adopters met their new household members there as well.
If you would like to make a donation honoring Elaine Jones and her dedication to greyhound adoptions please consider a donation to GreySave in her memory.
