Donations: Donations of the following items are gratefully accepted: money, blankets, towels, crates (portable kennels that house a single dog), veterinary care, advertising, printing, and publishing.
Foster Homes: This is a critical aspect of GPA's successful adoption of ex-racers, and a chance for love. We need all the foster homes we can get, so we can take more dogs as they grade off the tracks. When the tracks open in May, there are almost always dogs that come off the track very soon thereafter. Racers are culled continuously, so this is a continuing need. We can work around your needs, and even if you only want to foster a couple of times a year, it is still a very big help. We feel strongly that fostering helps create the best matches.
Demos and Events: These events allow the greyhounds to help each other by simply being themselves in public and showing people who they are. They do the showing and we do the telling!
Grant Writing: Do you have the time and experience to fill out grant applications and/or write grant proposals? We'd love to hear from you!
Dog Washes: We do the bathing before the dogs get their first veterinary care. This is an opportunity to be among the first to give a newly retired racer a big hug (sometimes a wet one) and loving care, and share in the excitement of watching another beauty emerge.
Transportation: We need volunteers during the daytime to transport the dogs to and from vet appointments, or from the farms or tracks. Each ride is an opportunity to give a little more reassurance to a greyhound friend who is entering a new world.
Home during the day: Events or errands often need to be accomplished during weekdays when many of our volunteers are at work. Let us know if your schedule would allow you to help with weekday events or errands. Many fun greyhound surprises have popped up during the week!
Newsletter: Would you write an article, submit photos, poems or letters, or report an event for us?
Schmooze Kings and Queens: Do you meet people easily? Do you know a lot of people and businesses? Could you sell ad space in our newsletter, or find companies willing to sponsor an issue of the newsletter? Could you ask local merchants to donate raffle items for our fundraising efforts?
PR Assistance: Do you have a FAX machine and/or an email account? Would you be willing to FAX and/or email our event notices to the local newspapers and other media outlets? We'll do the writing if you can do the sending!
Telephone calling: We continually make telephone calls to remind people of upcoming Demo's, follow-up calls to foster parents or new adopters, or handling requests for information from volunteers. This does not involve soliciting for donations. If you enjoy talking on the phone and talking about greyhounds, this job is for you.
Other: Suggestions for promotional events that would introduce more people to greyhounds, fundraising events, good locations for Demos, donations of dog food or bathing supplies which you can arrange, eBay benefit auctions, whatever you like to do!
