Now that cooler weather is approaching our event calendar starts overflowing. This is the time of year we really need volunteers to come out with their greyhounds and help promote adoption. Sometimes events come up or are confirmed at the last minute, so if you can spare some time make sure your name is on the notice list, either for calling or e-mail. Or just let us know if you can attend any of these events. For more information call Sharon at 602-971-6935, box #3 or e-mail sharon@arizonaadoptagreyhound.org.
