Joining our Love-A-Pet event on October 19th is Greyhound Friends. They have been joining us for many years and we look forward to them coming every year. They are a nonprofit organization and dog adoption shelter based in Hopkinton.
They started in 1983, and their focus is on helping purpose-breed dogs like sight hounds and sporting dogs who are overbred or discarded when no longer useful, and to make them useful and loved again. We love them because they are dedicated to placing greyhounds and other dogs in perfect homes that are ready to love and take care of the dogs. They also focus on educating the public about the Greyhound breed.
Over the last 40 years they have grown into a community that includes adopters, volunteers, greyhound rehoming advocates, and dog welfare supports working locally, nationally and internationally. With their
amazing community they have helped over 10,000 dogs and continue to grow that number.
Make sure to stop and visit them at the event. You can visit their sweet greyhound pups and join the community in supporting and advocating for purpose-breed dogs.
