Support the Greyhounds You Love with Your Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin

There are few dogs that are as sweet, loving, and intelligent as greyhounds. There certainly aren't any dogs that are faster. Greyhounds are easily integrated into families that have other pets and small children. They are extremely loyal to their human counterparts and will form attachments to them. If you have a greyhound in your life and wish to show support to him or her, then you might want to consider purchasing personal bank checks with greyhound designs.

Greyhounds have been loyal and working with man since around the 5th and 6th centuries. In the past, due to their keen eyesight, they were used for hunting. The "hound" part of their name goes back to the Old English word "hund" which means "hound."

Greyhounds are fast. They can reach speeds of 43 miles per hour-one of the reasons that they are the mascot for the American bus company. Their speed means that they are used for racing, however. While dog racing has its fans and protesters, the bad thing that can happen to a greyhound is that once it "retires" from racing it is sometimes not very well taken care of, and even abused. As a result, many greyhound activist groups have started up and there are various organizations that exist in order to rescue and adopt greyhounds in order to protect them.

The greyhound is also used as a mascot for several universities as well, including Loyolla College in Maryland, Eastern New Mexico University, Assumption College, and the University of Indianapolis.

There are a couple of different greyhound check options. The series generally contain beautiful greyhound photographs.

You can also purchase greyhound checks that support local greyhound rescue organizations. By ordering the "Support Your Local Greyhound Rescue" checks, you are not supporting a specific organization, but instead bringing awareness to all of the organizations that protect and serve greyhounds. This check series contains four rotating designs, each one with a lovely greyhound photograph.

You can also purchase a matching checkbook cover as well with these checks. This lovely checkbook cover comes inscribed with the words: "Adopt a greyhound, make a friend for life."

Some greyhound checks give you a place where you can write in your own special message. If you have a favorite quote or saying that is personal to you then this can be a good way of making your checks even more personalized.

Additionally, some check companies offer the "Security Photo" feature that actually puts a photograph of you right onto the check itself. This is a fantastic security feature and will mean that nobody can ever steal your checks and use them again.

In the past, it could be pricey and time-consuming to order personalized bank checks. You had to go the bank, sort though a limited array of designs, and then wait a week for your checks to come in. Today, you can order your checks online and even save 50%.

When ordering your checks online, all you need is your routing number and checking account number. Your checks should arrive to you in the mail in about 5 days. - 29895
