Volunteer Opportunities
Greyhound Crossroads is run entirely by volunteers so you can see why we value a person who wants to help us. What volunteer activities are there?
1. Help us transport dogs. We have to get dogs to the vet in Clinton. We usually do this when they come in from a dog haul, but sometimes the vet can't take them all and the dogs go into foster homes. When the vet has space, the dogs have to go to the vet and back to the foster homes. And sometimes a person will want to adopt a dog in another part of the state.
2. Help us staff meet and greets. These are usually held at pet stores - like Petsmart or Petco. We take fosters there to meet the public. We also educate people about GC.
3. Read newspapers and online for ads pertaining to selling, rehoming or lost greyhounds. We always keep a watch for greyhounds and will take them in - even if we didn't adopt them out.
4. Help us make connections with the organizers of local fairs and festivals. We try to be involved with as many of these as possible.
5. Shopping. Do you shop in thrift stores? Keep you eye out for items that we can use.
6. Carry business cards in your pocket when you are in public with your greyhound. Someone WILL ask you!
