Thanks Furever Pets!

It was another great adoption event at Furever Pets! We always have a great time meeting new folks and catching up with previous adopters. Thank you Symon and crew for being such gracious hosts!

Chase, Chris, and Conga being social.

Big yawn from Chase, apparently this isn't as exciting as he hoped.

Wanda making new friends.

And Wanda again getting hugs.

Trudy came by to visit.

And got sweet kisses from Wahoo.

Snoop setting a great example for the other dogs, if you look pretty people will come to you.

Chris did really well at his first ever adoption event. From the shy puppy he was Chris has gained confidence and is becoming a wonderful boy!

Hey big spender!

Our good friends at Furever Pets are celebrating their 7th anniversary this weekend. That's seven years of support for numerous shelters and adoption groups with their donations, food-drives, and unwavering support for all the products that they sell!

On Saturday the 13th from 11am to 5pm head over for snacks, drinks, games, door prizes, discounts and donations. For one day only they're offering 20% off one non-pet food non-sale item and an additional 5% off if you wear their store colors (blue and orange). Maybe you've been thinking about buying a new luxury dog bed or a nice raised feeder system? Saturday is the day to take the plunge. What's more, 15% of all of their sales on Saturday will be donated to the adoption groups they work with, Oregon Greyhound Adoption included!

So head over on Saturday, stay for a snack, play a game, get your discount and make a donation all at the same time!

Thanks Furever Pets!

We would like to express our gratitude to our wonderful hosts at Furever Pets and to all the people who came to meet our adoptable greyhounds, thank you!

It was a really pleasant day to be out talking to folks about the joys of having a hound in your life. The sun was shining but we had plenty of shade and a nice breeze to keep us comfortable. There was even live music across the street!

We talked to a number of people about how wonderful greyhounds are as pets and at times we even have anecdotal evidence as some familiar faces and happy adoption alumni showed up to let all the volunteers see how well they're doing!

Thank you Symon, Furever Pets and all the folks out on Broadway yesterday, we had a great day!

Holiday food drive

I just bought pet food at 10% off and you can get that discount too! Furever Pets is having their annual holiday food drive. Last year they collected over 3,500 pounds of food for various animal non-profits and this year they want to beat that record. All you have to do is purchase a bag of food of 4 pounds or more to donate to the group of your choice (*ahem* Oregon Greyhound) and you will receive 10% off on both the donation bag and the food you purchase for yourself!
