About Us

Aid 4 Greys was founded in 2005, because we felt there was a need in the greyhound community for a company that was committed to both supporting the greyhound rescue groups, and greyhound owners as well. Aid 4 Greys President, Lee Tauriello (AKA Mother Bunny) had been working with an organization for several years, making bunnies.

Pat Lewandowski became her helper shortly after adopting Alibi. This was Pat's first greyhound, whereas Lee had been adopting for quite a few years. After witnessing Pat's sewing prowess, Lee brought her an old collar, and said "Can you figure out how to make one of these?"

So out came the scissors and the measuring tape, and the components were soon laid out on the table. It probably took Pat about 2 minutes to figure out how it was made, so the next task was to find out where to get all the parts. Dozens of fabric stores and hardware stores later, we had at least an idea of what we were getting ourselves into.

The first production run of collars was obviously small, using materials purchased locally.  We took these to a local rescue group for their reunion, and sold almost $300.  We knew then, that we had done something right!

Now, 5 years later, we have sold thousands of collars, each and every one sewed lovingly by Pat.  Thank God she is retired, because she has a full-time job with Aid 4 Greys.

Pat's husband Stan has become the reluctant Webmaster, still struggling with HTML, and has even learned to put the webbing in collars, stuff Bunnies, and make soap.

We have travelled East, West, North and South, met so many wonderful folks in groups across the nation.

Our product line not only includes our Mother Bunny Bunnies, and AnyWear Collars, but has expanded to include Leashes, Soaps, and Ornaments. 

Please check out all of our merchandise pages, and remember, we are all volunteers.  Every cent of profit goes to greyhound rescue.
