VOLUNTEER
Would you like to volunteer? Please click the button below to fill out our online Volunteer Application. We greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer!
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.
