Support Financially

The fee that we charge for adoption of each Greyhound does not begin to cover our real costs to operate our program. Rather than decrease the level of care we give each and every Greyhound, we have chosen to reach out to the community and ask for their support. We have two funds that you can contribute to that will directly support the care of our Greyhounds and the Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest program. You can make a contribution here Online or send it via postal mail. If you would like to contact our treasurer, please call 800-767-5139 or 503-784-1285 or email Treasurer.

General Fund

Our General Fund is used to provide all initial medical care, including spay, neuter, inoculations and dental treatment. This fund also supports our educational outreach and the organizational expenses of the chapter. These expenses include this website, the e-newsletter that we send out monthly and all of the printed materials that we provide to new adopters and the community. Donations into this fund are also used for outreach program expenses including travel and advertising.

The General Fund is also used to pay for medical care for Greyhounds that we take into our program. In this year alone, we have spent thousands of dollars to give our Greyhounds the chance to live a long happy life with their new families.

Ellie's Fund

We have created a special fund, known as Ellie's Fund, which is used for the care of Greyhounds in need of extraordinary medical care. This fund pays for the food, medical care and sometimes special housing needed for these dogs to reach their forever homes. Each year we spend several thousand dollars on this care and thanks to our generous contributors, we have never had to deny care to a Greyhound in need.
