The New Greyhounds Are Arriving!
We are receiving new Greyhounds into our program almost every other week now. It is a great experience to welcome them into retirement and be among the first to brush, wash, nail-trim, pet and hug them. After their baths, the dogs will settle into their temporary housing until they can be seen by the veterinarian for their usual surgery and treatments. We will be washing, trimming nails and giving TLC to each new group. If you want to come help with their retirement day, call us at 503-784-1285 or email Volunteer for information.
