            Changing the world . . . . . . 
                                  One greyhound at a time.



Our mission is to rescue retired, racing Greyhounds, provide for their health and welfare,
educate the public about the availability and desirability of greyhounds as pets and
place them through adoption into loving home. 

 

        


The Larry Slotnick Memorial Award was presented by  Dan Griffin, President, Barbara Slotnick and
Trooper on May 4, 2008 to Walter Johnson in recognition of the years of service and
dedication to Greyhound Friends of North Carolina

Congratulations to the Sixth Winner of Volunteers of the Month ~

greyhound, Eclipse that is now 14 years.  Plus now, Marisol( 12 yrs old) and Class have joined

HomeAgain
The Home Again Microchip is partnering with our adoption program.
GFNC has added a safe guard to our adoption package.  GFNC will chip each greyhound for a cost
of $30.00 and automatically process the registration form. The cost of Lifetime registration  is $14.99
paid upon completion of the adoption contract.  By registering through us, you save the $10 activation fee.  This assures that each greyhound has 24/7 reliable on-call information available, name phone, address,
phone number and any medical information . If lost they call 888-466-3242 at any shelter, veterinarian  or emergency clinic at the swipe of a scanner and returns your lost pet.   As back up, GFNC has our own database to view to help locate a lost greyhound.We also have the paperwork to transfer a prior owner to your names.  Clink on link above and read about all the advantages of Microchipping!


 

  

 

     Check the Calendar of Events section of our website often.
We need lots of volunteers to attend these events. They always include your greyhound
that creates a great way to promote our Adoption Program.


May 3 & 4, 2008  See you again next year.

If you live in the Guilford County-Triad Area and are interested in volunteer work with Greyhounds, consider becoming one of our kennel volunteers.  It is a wonderful opportunity to help, and a chance to interact with greyhounds. 
 Kennel volunteers are trained and work under supervision until we feel a volunteer is trained.  
Volunteers may work as much as one shift a week or as little as one shift a month, depending on how much time they have to give. 

We also have immediate openings for weekday evening (5:30-6:30pm) turnout volunteers.
     Don't be shy about volunteering; there is always room for another volunteer
 

If you are interested in volunteering at Greyhound Friends please contact Blanche Fedor, Volunteer Coordinator a 336.707.8530 or 336.852.9739 or email: greytvolunteer@earthlink.net

 

Because we are a non-profit organization, we rely on donations to feed and house the greyhounds and to cover the costs of any medical expenses beyond the norm.  Our adoption fees only help to cover the basic medical requirement for adoptive placement:  spay/neuter, dental cleaning, shots, worming, etc.

LICENSE PLATE
Click on Link for the application

In order to complete the requirements for Greyhound Adoption License Plate, we
have  to sell 300.  Click on the Link to Print and Complete the License Plate Application. 

You can now have a Greyhound Adoption License Plate from the State of North Carolina.
Help get the word out about greyhounds.  The license plate is sponsored by GFNC. All it will cost you is an extra $20/50 over what your yearly license plate costs-the same as any specialized or personalized plate.

Before the order can be placed with NCDMV, 300 applications (along with payment of the fee) must be collected.  This is a requirement of the NCDMV.
All monies collected will be held in a separate bank account and IF 300 applications have NOT been sold, the money will be refunded.  Applications and Payment should be mailed to:
Greyhound Friends of N.C. ~2908 Oak Ridge Road ~ Oak Ridge, NC 27310

There is no time limit for collection these applications, but the sooner we get 300, the sooner we can get the plates out.  It doesn't help to wait to see if we get 300 before you apply - if everyone does that, we never will.  Please help us made that total- you don't have to keep them in the future if you don't want to
