Transition Retired Racing Greyhounds into Couch Potatoes. - Orientation Meeting

Save to Favorites

Whether you provide short term respite foster care for a hound recovering from spay or neuter, provide longer term foster care for a hound waiting for adoption, volunteer at our kennel in Marana to help feed and exercise the hounds at the kennel, participate in Meet & Greets at venues all over Tucson to introduce our fosters to potential adopters and promote our organization, or help on an as needed basis for special events or projects, you'll make a real difference in the lives of these greyhounds, meet others who love animals, and have fun!

We are planning a one hour Orientation Meeting on Saturday, January 31 at the Nanini Library. If you are a new volunteer, or you are thinking about becoming a volunteer, or you are a current volunteer who would like more information, this presentation will provide you with an opportunity to become more knowledgeable about the mission of Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption, the volunteer opportunities we have to support our mission, and the training and support we will provide to you to help you be successful. We will also discuss some of the unique characteristics of the Greyhounds. These retired racers have lived a unique life from the time they were born, through their racing career, and finally into adoption. Not only are their life experiences very different from other dog breeds you may be familiar with, medically, greys are just DIFFERENT in many ways. It's very important to understand and recognize these differences.
