A greyt big THANK YOU and many greyhound "roos" to everyone who made our 8th Annual Walkathon a success. Our goal was to raise $30,000 to help our hounds and thanks to the generosity of our GPI family, fans, and sponsors, we exceeded our goal and raised $32,433!

This is a crazy-busy location and booth so we need volunteers and their ambassadogs which are experienced with music, large crowds, other dog breeds, small dogs, other critters, children, wheel chairs, etc. (This is not an event for available dogs from the kennel.) We also welcome volunteers who do not currently have greyhounds as we need many voices to talk with all of the visitors to the booth. It takes about 30 volunteers (and almost as many hounds) to staff the booth for this 16-hour, two day event. If you are not familiar with Salmon Days, follow this link to see what it is all about: http://www.issaquahchamber.com/salmondays
**Once again we are utilizing SignUpGenius to fill the booth time slots. Please see the link below (and forgive the advertisements…it’s a free site).

Time slots are shown in 1 hour increments. If possible, please sign up for at least 2 consecutive hours of booth time. You can join us both days if you are really up for an adventure!
Each household attending is considered a team. In the comment section, please list the names of all team members attending, human and hound. Human-only teams are welcome to sign up! If you are able to stay longer than the booth time slot shows, please add a note in the comment section of the time slot that most closely matches your preference.
More info about the event, including directions and parking, a map showing our booth location, booth procedures and etiquette, etc. will be sent prior to the event.

Our dogs have often lived in more than one geographical area in the US but may also have come from other foreign countries. We have developed specific guidelines for the different groups of dogs based on where they came from. The recommendations are based on data from nationally recognized tick-borne disease authority Dr Cynthia Holland of Protatek Reference Laboratory. Please click to where your dog came from. The tick testing panel will be based on it.
