Vallan was a longtime turnout volunteer, friend, and proud greyhound adopter for many years. He was a greyhound dad extraordinaire to GAC’s Mara, who came to us with her sibling Josh from a Kansas greyhound farm several years ago when they were just a year old. Both were intensely shy but found love and safety in their homes, Vallan and Klaus for Mara and Lynette and Katie for Josh.
Vallan passed away on February 28th, 2019 and is survived by his beloved life partner, Klaus Kitzmann. Klaus has requested GAC be the recipient of any memorial donation in Vallan’s name. He cherished GAC and will forever be in the hearts of those that cherished him in return.
