News Flash:  We're seeking someone to help out at the Whisker Walk on June 3^rd from 11:00-3:00. (We'd need help a bit before 11:00 to do the booth set-up.) One of our volunteers who was scheduled to be there the full time of the event has had to cancel his commitment that day, so we really need someone to replace him. We do have someone else who will be there the full time of the event, but would like to have someone join her. If you can help, please contact Cyndy - CCURLS @ aol.com.

 

Each year Greyhound Friends participates in the Whisker Walk. This year the Whisker Walk is scheduled for June 3rd, 11-3 at the Lancaster Fair Grounds. (More information and details at www.whiskerwalk.org). More information can also be found on our Events page.

 

Whisker Walk is all about families and their pets - promoting adoptions, teaching responsible pet ownership, and educating the community about rescue groups and shelters.

Part of the event is a fundraising walk where participants walk a course for the rescue group of their choice.  Participants would solicit pledges from friends and family for the distance they walk. If you are interested in walking for Greyhound Friends, visit www.whiskerwalk.org for a pledge form.

Questions on Greyhound Friends' participation in this event can be directed to Cyndy at ccurls @ aol.com. We are also looking for volunteers to help man our booth. If interested, email Cyndy.

Thanks in advance for your support.

 

Atlas, a young, 2 YO greyhound, went over the fence at Greyhound Friends adoption kennel last night (Sunday). He had just been returned from foster care, as he had been acting out with the other dogs in the household. But, he's a sweet guy, and help is needed to find him. Please call Louise Coleman at 508.435.5969 or 617.817.6706 cell phone.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our open house this weekend! Even though it was hot, we all had a wonderful time. The kiddie pool filled with water was a very popular place for all the dogs!

The Not Quite Westminster Dog Show was so much fun. It's great to see so many dogs and owners participate in all the for fun contests. The Find Your Twin contest and the costume contest were favorites.

Keep an eye on our facebook page for many picture posts.

Thanks again for helping to make our open house a success.
