Meet and greets take place at pet stores, art fairs, farmers markets, bookstores, and anywhere we think might be a good venue to promote greyhound adoption.
You'll have the opportunity to meet some fabulous adopted hounds and our wonderful volunteers. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have regarding our volunteer's experiences with their beloved pets, or about the breed in general.
At our meet and greets, we have dogs, people, brochures, adoption applications, and a donation jar. Our dogs love the attention, though they are very tuckered out the next day because of all the effort they expend being charming! We often also raise money at these meet and greets via donations, which in turn helps us to rescue more greyhounds.
It is gratifying for our volunteers to share the experiences they've had with their hound(s) with potential adopters. Oh yeah - and we get to show off our hounds!
Many of our meet-and-greet locations may also have an Available Hound book with pictures of all of our available hounds!
