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 Linda (Linda@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 Linda (Linda@weadoptgreyhounds.org).

New Arrival, George.
He’s a really cute 4 year old.. very calm and well behaved. Gets along well with other Greyhounds.
George was returned because his family could no longer care for him. He is good with children, cats and other dogs.
He will be celebrating his fifth birthday on July 8th.
He is definitely a chattery teeth boy!
Pray for George today 5/15, he goes in for a dental and is having some teeth removed! 
George in the waiting room..
Update 11:26 pm, George had one tooth pulled today..

He’s back home!
