 Rodger Barr, DVM President
I have been a Board member since its inception in 1996.
I saw my first greyhound in 1975 while doing an internship at CSU. I adopted my first in 1975 also. I have owned many greyhounds over the years and currently have four residing at home: Bubba, Sophie, Whoopie and Penny Punch.
I am an enthusiastic passionate student of Bar B Que. My current (and likely forever) favorite is the Big Green Egg. I love to discuss the egg and its virtues.

Donna Barr, Adoption Coordinator, Foster Coordinator
I have been on the Board since 1996.
I adopted my first greyhound Katurah in 1977, and I have been involved with greyhound adoption ever since. Katurah was the very first racing greyhound to become a pet in Minnesota. Every greyhound we have placed over the years I have done in honor of her. I have adopted numerous greyhounds over the years. I currently share my home with four fabulous greyhounds-Sophie, Bubba, Whoopie, and Miss Penny Punch
I love to cook, garden, and travel. I am hoping to finish my last gemology class and become a certified gemologist.
