What's it like at our events? (view photos of our events)

They are fun for you and your hound(s). Our events are one of our best ways of getting new adopters for these wonderful hounds, we can always use more volunteers to help.

Please be responsible when out with your greyhound. When your greyhound is at the end of a leash, he/she relies on you for safety. Your greyhound will appreciate your efforts to keep him/her close by your side.

Please join us in helping to spread the word on greyhound adoption. We need help promoting our organization at local events. Can you spare a couple of hours one weekend a month to go to a pet store, a green market or any other location to let people meet your greyhound(s) and give out information on our organization? Check out the events listed below. Please contact Barbara at BarbaraMasi@comcast.net.

For any of the events without specific chairpersons you may sign up with Barbara at BarbaraMasi@comcast.net or (561) 737-1941

PetCo - our weekly visits to the store on Sunday have been an exciting place to meet people interested in an "up close and personal" visit with a Greyhound. This is an ideal venue for people to actually see and touch the dogs before submitting an adoption application. We will be at the Wellington PetCo on 441 between Southern and Forest Hill every Sunday from 12pm to 2pm. If you would like to volunteer please contact Kerry Friedman at 561-333-8298 (home) or 561-574-7756 (cell) or at mistykissesxo@gmail.com.

PetSmart - on US 1 in Jensen Beach every Friday from 12pm to 2pm and also Sunday from 11am to 1pm. This is ideal for those in the northern areas to have a place to visit with the Greys so potential adopters can get "up close and personal" with these magnificent animals. Contact Pete Thompson at ptflorida@comcast.net or 772-225-6868.

Channel 12 TV – WPEC – Weekly appearances by a kennel dog – during the noon news program – airs approximately 12:25 pm each day with Pet of the Day

Channel 25 TV – WPBF – Will be showing a 30 second Public Service Announcement promoting adoption. They will also make up the tag line for our local group and send it to the other stations to also air – no telling when or how often – but hopefully we’ll get airtime from this beautiful “ad” for Greyhound adoption.
