Ambassadors of Love

Greyhounds are now successfully being used as therapy dogs because of their quiet disposition, and their affection towards people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We invite you to visit with us and meet some greyhounds at any of the following events!  (Although we may have available greyhounds with us, we won't be able to conduct on-the-spot adoptions.)  You are welcome to fill out an application to adopt or foster at any of our events!  If you have a greyhound and would like to volunteer to help us at any event, contact us!

Walk n’ Talk

Meet greyhounds and their owners for a Sunday stroll at Liberty Park!  Local greyhounds and their humans meet each week (weather permitting) to walk around the park.  Whether you already have a greyhound or are just interested in seeing some greyhounds and getting to know the breed, everyone is welcome!

  • As of October 1st our meeting time is 10:30 a.m. We usually begin walking at 10:40 just in case there are stragglers!
     

  • Enter Liberty Park using the North Entrance at 900 South 600 East.  Pull in and park as soon as you see a space.  Look for the greyhounds at the northernmost end of the park near the first section of parking spots as you pull in
     
  • You will often meet lots of greyhounds at the walk, but there are times when attendance could be low due to scheduling conflicts or inclement weather.
     
  • Non-greyhound pets are welcome to walk, but be advised that your pet may be overwhelmed being surrounded and sniffed at by 6 or more greyhounds.  (They always have to inspect the newcomers!)
     
  • All pets walking need to be on leash and friendly with other dogs.  And don’t forget the poop bags!

*We are happy to list any and all greyhound walks on this page, so if you know of a scheduled walk or would like to start one please contact us!
