Be a GReAT Volunteer!
1. Consider adopting a greyhound
2. Become a foster family
3. When new retirees arrive, help comfort, clean, greet and bathe them
This is actually a fun event for a greyhound fancier. Although there are times when a dog arrives with a sad condition, like an infected paw or is much too thin, it is rewarding to help them move into their new lives.
4. March in a parade with us
5. Walk in a charity walk with us
6. Help at an outreach booth
Many of our booth volunteers have more than one greyhound and we always need someone to hold a leash while an owner takes anotherdog for a walk. We also can get swamped with people asking questions, once you know the answers, your voice would be helpful.
7. Help raise funds*
Buy an item for sale and/or convince others to make a purchase.
8. Make a tax deductible contribution to GReAT*
9. Join the Greyhound Underground Railroad
This group transports animals from the track to an area where someone wants to adopt them. Volunteers drive animals or provide temporary logging for drivers and their precious cargo, relocating greyhounds.
*Funds are used to help pay for::
* vet bills for greyhounds who arrive injured or ill and well-dog health care:.
* transporting the greyhounds:.
* "special needs" greyhounds:. These are older dogs that need homes or special care. People with really big hearts will adopt and love these dogs, but GReAT feels that the family should not bear all the dog's medical costs.
* advertising:.
