VOLUNTEER 

GreySave is staffed entirely by volunteers. It has no paid positions. Most of our volunteers have worked in greyhound adoption for many years. They give of their time and money out of love for the dogs and commitment to the goal of saving greyhounds. Here are a few of the ways that you can become involved. Check out the Event Calendar for opportunities to participate, and e-mail us with questions to learn more about how to make a difference in the lives of retired greyhounds.  

BE A GREYSAVE AMBASSADOR OR JOIN A GREYHOUND WALKING GROUP 

Spread the word -- Pass out GreySave business cards while you walk your dog. Spread the word on social media. Tell everyone you meet what great pets greyhounds make! Email us for more information on volunteer opportunities.

FOSTER A GREYHOUND 

GreySave has three types of foster homes - One takes in new and healthy hounds from the track and helps them to become a canine companion. Another takes care of  injured hounds and a third that takes in the post-spay hounds for about 48 hours after their surgery before returning them to their foster or Foster to Adopt homes.

We are always looking to add new foster homes!  And we do provide an experienced foster home partner to help as needed.  GreySave tries to being in new greyhounds from the track once a month or every 5 weeks but how many we can bring in depends largely on how many foster homes we have. 

HELP AT A SPA DAY FUNDRAISER 

One of the many perks of adopting from GreySave is SPA DAY! Bring your needle-nose pal for a day of treatment like a king or queen. We do the work so you don't have to! 

HELP AT AN ANNUAL EVENT

Every year GreySave has two large fundraising events.  The spring event is our Race to the Park & the fall event is Oktoberfest.  We need volunteers to help at these events.
