Volunteer
Donate:
You may sponsor a dog by contributing to its care or you can
choose to help with operating expenses. Contributions can
be made in memory or in honor of the person or pet of your
choice. Donations are tax deductible.
Foster Home:
Your family might want to foster a greyhound in your home
and help the grey become familiar with life inside a house
and all the new experiences that brings. HoH provides the
crate, food and medical care. You provide the home and the
love and teaching the greyhound about their new world.
Fundraising:
Fundraising is a continuing process and we are need of
volunteers to seek out new opportunities for product
donations, grant applications and other opportunities to
generate donations to our non-profit group.
Presentations:
Anywhere that a greyhound is allowed to go is an opportunity
to make a presentation to an audience whether they are a
group or one on one that might want to learn more about
greyhounds and adopting these wonderful retired racers. The
sky is the limit from schools to nursing homes to Home Depot
and anywhere that welcomes a visit. Your daily walk in your
neighborhood or park is an opportunity as well.
Show and Tells:
On various weekends, we show off our greyhounds at the local
PetSmarts and other locations in the Oklahoma City metro
area. We often need volunteers to pick up foster greyhounds
from their homes and take them to and from the Show and
Tells.
The Show and Tells at PetSmart etc. require at least 3 to 5
volunteers to greet the public, hold the dogs and answer
questions of potential adopters. This is also a great way to
meet other greyhound enthusiasts. New venues/locations are
always needed. If you know of a place where our greyhounds
can visit and do a Show and Tell let us know. Show and Tell
coordinators are always needed to commit to a regular time
and place.
Transportation:
Since we receive the majority of our greyhounds from farms
and kennels in the State of Oklahoma, we are in need of
individuals that would be able to drive to a breeder's
kennel to pick up a dog that was relinquished to our group.
All of our dogs require a visit to a local veterinarian for
their health care, therefore we could always use volunteers
to pick them up and drop them off.
