Chicagoland Pet Show

Our annual outing to the Chicagoland Pet Show had
a new venue this year - the Renaissance Convention Center in Schaumburg.
Once again, we had a wonderful turnout! Click

MS Walk
 The "Helping Hounds" of Greyhounds Only participated in the MS
Walk for the second time in as many years. We had a lot of people
coming up to ask about these well-behaved hounds, and generated a
lot of interest with our biggest turnout ever for the walk! Click

GO Volunteer Party

Dr's Karen Farnsworth Miller and Dr Richard Miller have been generous
enough for the past two years to throw a thank you party for the
Volunteers of Greyhounds Only. For many of us who freely give our
time, it is a nice way to relax and celebrate what we've accomplished.

Florida Greyhound Haul

Every so often,
Greyhounds Only has the opportunity to participate in Greyhound
rescue from other states.
Our previous story featured
on the web site included dogs from Oklahoma and Kansas in 2004.
We've participated in other "hauls" since then, but
we're always so busy, we forget to write things down and take
pictures!
There
is a lot
of work involved in making these rescue runs happen, and to do
it smoothly, there must be cooperation and coordination all the
way from Florida to Illinois (and oftentimes places beyond, like
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota!)
In the month
of June, 2007, Greyhounds Only welcomed not only these 9 adoptable
hounds (and
1 adopted hound!) from Florida, but nearly
16 hounds from Wisconsin, and two more hounds from Kansas! Plus,
in the last week or two of May, we count 13 more
Wisconsin hounds that joined our ranks, AND we had 22 adoptions
in the month of June ALONE! So if things looked busy
around here in June, you know why!
A big thanks to everyone who helps
these hounds on their way to retirement, no matter where they
are!

HAWS Celebration

In
celebration of the first anniversary of the Greyhounds Only
- HAWS partnership, HAWS threw a party, greyhound style! Finally
recovered
from our
First
Anniversary
party – that
was a greyt time, and I think the hounds agreed! (We all gained
about
3 pounds from cake, but, we’ll walk that off, right?!)

Bucktown
Arts Fest

Once
again, the troops from GO stormed the streets of Chicago, and
showed off some hounds! Our adoptable hounds managed to make
it to the festivities (and a few even got adopted!).

Meet
and Greets

The
folks at the Downers Grove Meet and Greet held a costume-themed
meet and greet at the end of October. The hounds all looked
so cute in their costumes, we had to add them to the site!

Sycamore
Pumpkin Festival Parade

Flavor
Gabe led the Greyhounds Only contingent of the Sycamore Pumpkin
Festival Parade! Organized again by Al and Mary Silcroft, Gable
and a few other intrepid hounds braved the 3 mile parade route
(in costume!) to promote greyhound adoption to the masses!

2007
Annual Reunion

Our 12th Annual Reunion was, of course, a blast!
At the time of the reunion, nearly 200 greyhounds had already
been adopted - so there were lots of new friends and old coming
together!
