In 1997, Elaine and Joe Skidel adopted Lily, a tiny special needs greyhound that stole their hearts. They added a small kennel to their house and started the organization that is now Nittany Greyhounds. Adoptions were brisk throughout central Pennsylvania, events were numerous, and our volunteers were generous with their time and financial support.
Several years later, Elaine and Joe sold their home and left the area, but the board continued. It took six years to raise enough support for a down payment on a new kennel. With the help of Jo Hoy and Tom Cali, we were able to purchase our current home in 2008. Rooo Valley provides enough space for 15-20 hounds, which enables us to find homes for almost 100 greyhounds each year.
