Bath Brigades
Held monthly at the Pet Hotel, for all of the Greyhounds in our
care. We try to give our dogs that are available for adoption
just a little bit more attention, by bathing, nail trimming, ear
cleaning, checking for fleas/ticks.
E-mail
bath@gpahouston.org
to let us know that you can attend!
Did you know that
each time we hold a bath brigade, our pups tend to get more
attention and have resulted in adoptions the same
day?
A clean dog is a good looking dog, not that greyhounds
don't look good, but wow do they look greyt when just bathed.
The next Bath Brigade will be:
update--Saturday, Feb. 27 @ 9am!
We hope to see you there!
See
pictures from one of our bath brigades. Want to
participate?
Email us and we will be happy to put you on our mailing
list.
Volunteering on a regular basis helps us to help our pups, and is a
wonderful way to become acquainted with this amazing breed. Your
participation is very much appreciated--more than you know.
Here is
where you can check out the application.

Nail Clipping
On Saturdays, between 11 am and 2 pm.
Are you one that does not clip your own dogs' nails?
Don't feel bad as you are not alone. The good news is that we can help you!
Some one will be at the kennel to cut your hounds' nails
for a small donation of $6.00 per hound. Donations can go
to either the Building Fund or to a
Special Needs dog.
