Gillian Lee is a dog behaviorist/trainer with vast experience working with active and retired racing greyhounds. 

After years of waiting, she began the slippery slope into NGA world with her first greyhound, RJ's Theadore, that many may know as Teddy Lee on social media. Being a researcher at heart, she wanted to learn more about the amazing world of greyhound racing, and Teddy's trainers, the Piquettes, welcomed her into their kennel, home, and family. During her vacations from her full time employment, Gillian could be found at Steubenville Kennel at the crack of dawn doing kennel-hand duties and learning the ins and outs of the greyhound racing world.

She is the founder of Gillian's Greyhound Adoption located in Orillia, Ontario. GGA specializes in retirees that may need a little polishing and a little more assistance in the transition from professional athlete to professional pet. GGA also provides behavioral assistance to adoption groups throughout North America.

When not working, looking after her pack, and GGA affairs, Gillian works to support the greyhound industry in any way she can including legislation session support, education, and countless hours of Greyhound Data entry.

Mary Beth Clemons started down the “greyhound path” in 2018 when she adopted her first retired racer. Soon after, she started volunteering with GSTs Sun State Greyhound Adoption by doing meet and greets. The more she volunteered, the more she learned about the breed, the racing industry, and adoption. It didn't take long for her to start fostering. That lead her to meeting trainers and helpers at Derby Lane in St. Petersburg, FL. 

As fate would have it, one of the trainers needed help for a week while their helper was on vacation and asked if Mary Beth would be interested in working. What started out as "just a week" has turned into eight years. Currently, she’s an assistant trainer for Leon Giguere at On Line Racing at Tri-State. Leon sends his greetings, salutations and quiet regret for allowing Mary Beth to attend GRtB while he scoops all the poop.

Currently, Mary Beth has three retired racers, all of which are AKC registered with performance and foundation titles. Her first greyhound, Benelli, has earned her AKC Field Champion title.
