April is Adopt a Greyhound Month
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.

GPI at Issaquah Salmon Days – Can you help?
The Issaquah Salmon Days festival is just around the corner! This is one of GPI’s biggest booths of the year and we need LOTS of help to staff this two-day event. This year the festival runs October 6th and 7th, 10AM-6PM each day.
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).
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080b4aa9a82dabfe3-gpibooth
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.
A Volunteer shirt is not required at the booth. If you would like to order one in time for Salmon Days, please follow the link below.

If you have any questions about the event (including scheduling), please feel free to call or email me, or Chris Nooney, for more information.
We hope you can join us for Salmon Days!
