  RETIREMENT DAY - Saturday. TBD 2010 - Volunteers & Foster Homes Needed The next retirement day has been scheduled for Saturday, TBD 2010. We bring in as many greyhounds as we have foster homes. If you would like to foster one, please contact Shelly at (714)255-9913. Let's make this a happy retirement day for as many hounds as we can. More Information is available in our Foster Manual. A retirement day is a greyt experience for experienced greyhound companions and first time volunteers alike. Each dog will need a friendly human guide through exams and bath time. Please join us to see these dogs taking their first steps off the track! The dogs usually arrive around 11 AM. Volunteers that would like to help set-up are welcome to arrive after 10 AM. We provide lunch for volunteers. If you are just interested in seeing the dogs just arriving from the track, you are welcome to join us and see the most recently retired greyhounds. This will be their début as a pet and they will be bewildered, but enjoying the attention. Directions to the location are available by clicking Here. For more events, check the event pages. To volunteer for any of our events, contact us. |

Show and Tells: Come see what all the fuss is about! We have so much fun talking about our favorite subject - greyhounds! If you have never attended a show and tell before, the only things you need to bring are your hound, and a bed for him or her to lay on. We provide the rest! Most show and tells last about 3 hours, and are over before you know it. We get the majority of our applications for adoption from people who saw us at one of these events, so you can rest assured you will be doing your part in helping find homes for the beautiful hounds. If you are interested in attending an event near you, please call Beverly Mila de la Roca 626-963-8693. For more information on helping staff a show and tell, click here. |
