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.

we need are two things from you.

your electronic written consent allowing us to

volunteering at Greyhound Friends please

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.
Don't be shy
about volunteering; there is always room for another volunteer
Adopt a Greyhound on CBS The Early Show
April 28, 2009
Adopt A Greyhound - CBS News Video
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.
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.

Support Greyhound Adoption 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
