VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
There are many different ways to help WAG!
First and foremost, we always need foster homes.  But we also need volunteers for other tasks like driving foster dogs to/from vet appointments, events, for picking up new dogs from a hauler or transport, for helping to hold foster dogs and talk to potential adopters at events, etc.  If you would like to help with foster dogs or adoptions, please contact Lindsay (Lindsay@weadoptgreyhounds.org).
We also need volunteers to help plan, organize, and help at adoption events, fundraisers, awareness events, etc.  To help promote and publicize WAG and greyhounds as pets, or to raise money for WAG and the Yogi Medical Fund.  If you would like to help with events, public awareness, or fundraising, please contact Gianna (Gianna@weadoptgreyhounds.org).

REMINDER

RENEW YOUR WAG MEMBERSHIP!

It’s that time of year again.   Time to renew your WAG Membership for 2011-2012.   Click here .

Yogi Medical Fund Recipients

WAG spends a great deal of money on vet care.  Besides costs for spaying/neutering, vaccines, and dentals, last year this included broken leg surgery and rehab for several dogs, heartworm treatment for one dog, and the ongoing care of special needs foster dogs like Sophie (idiopathic epilepsy).   We thank you for your support!

Sophie


 

********************************************

WAG NEEDS FOSTER HOMES!

All WAG dogs are kept in foster homes, and we need MORE foster homes!  WAG can only take in a limited number of dogs because we are short on foster homes, especially foster homes without cats or small animals.

Check out the fostering link for more information, here
