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 here to see more pictures.

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 here to see more pictures.

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. Click here to see more pictures (thank you to Phil Seils who took all of the pictures!)

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!

Wisconsin State Fair

Our Wisconsin folks had their time to shine (again!) on August 6th at the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

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!
