April is Adopt a Greyhound Month

March 30, 2019

Shower some love on greyhounds during the month of April! Adopt a greyhound! This link gives you all the information you need to get started.

If you’re not able or ready to adopt a greyhound, there’s lots of things you can do to help spread the word about these wonderful companions. Here’s how you can help:

Wear Our Adopt a Greyhound T-shirt

Purchase a t-shirt or hoodie with our April Daffodil Greyhound design for yourself or a friend. This beautiful, exclusive design was created by artist, illustrator, and animal lover, Robin James. It’s available in lots of colors and sizes. All proceeds go directly to the hounds in our care. Find our April Daffodil Greyhound design in our online Rootique.

Volunteer

The 9th Annual Greyt Walkathon is coming up! And we’re looking for volunteers to help with our biggest yearly event. No experience necessary – just a love of fun and a desire to support our mission! Contact Chris Nooney.

Why not shop and help the dogs at the same time? Sign up for shopping programs that will donate a percentage of your purchase price to GPI, like AmazonSmile, Rescue Chocolate, Bartell Drugs. Find the details here.

2019 Spring Low Cost Tick Clinic

March 26, 2019

Our next low-cost tick disease testing clinic will be held at 1:30 pm, Sunday,
May 5 at the Hern Greyt Works (Kennel).

Please be prompt, we will take each dog in order of arrival to draw blood.

The Needle Nose ROOtique will be open from 1 to 3 pm in case you have some shopping to do. Mary Greenleaf will be present offering the Greyhounds’ favorite beds.

The online registration and online payment methods are very simple to do. Please pre-register your dog and prepay clinic fees by May 1 if you wish to participate in the blood draw. The payment is not refundable since the spot must be pre-reserved and all the paperwork needs to be done ahead. You may notice a slight price increase due to Protatek fee increase but what we offer is still the best deal.

Once again, we have a challenge. One of our wonderful volunteers has proposed we raise money to help support more available dogs get tested for tick borne diseases before they get adopted. The anonymous person will match donations we collect up to $500. With the matching funds, the amount could total $1000. You do not need to specify which dog to test or choose the test category. This fund will not just test but also be used to treat available dogs if necessary.
