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.

Since the 5th and 6th century, greyhounds have been used as pets. In the past they were used for hunting due to their good eyesight. The "hound" portion of their name derives from the Old English word "hund" which meant "hound."

Greyhounds can reach speeds of 43 miles per hour. That's why they are used as the mascot for the American bus company! Unfortunately, their quickness means that they are also used for dog racing. This, within itself, wouldn't' be bad, but on occasion the dogs are mistreated and abused once they can no longer race. Luckily, there are many greyhound rescue companies out there who are trying to help the lovable dogs find good homes once they have retired from the business.

Along with being the mascot for the bus company, the greyhound is also a mascot for Eastern New Mexico University, Loyola College in Maryland, Assumption College, and the University of Indianapolis.

You can find a couple of different options when it comes to purchasing greyhound inspired bank checks. Most of the check series showcase beautiful photographs of greyhounds.

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.

It was expensive and time-consuming to order your personal bank checks in the past. After all, you have to make a special trip to the bank, where they may or may not have had the images that you wanted, and then you had to wait a week for expensive checks. Now, you can order them online and save as much as 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.
