Ways You Can Help Greyhound Friends

 Greyhound Friends is always in need of supplies (our Wish List is located lower on this page) and donations. Your generosity helps us to care for our greyhounds and for our kennel where they live while they wait for their permanent, loving homes.

Ideas for ways you can help are included below:

Weekly and Monthly Automatic Gift Subscriptions Through PayPal!

We’ve had requests from our supporters for a way to make automatic weekly or monthly contributions. This option is available through PayPal, and we now offer the ability to contribute from $15/week to $25, $50, or $100/month.

Just go to our “Make a Donation” page, scroll to the bottom and click on the PayPal option you prefer. You can end the subscription any time by using the “Unsubscribe” button. 

Of course you can still make a one-time gift in any amount you choose – just click on the “Donate” button and enter the amount you prefer.

Donate Dog Food to Greyhound Friends - It's Quick and Easy Through PETCO!

As you can expect, Greyhound Friends goes through a huge amount of dog food. Through PETCO's Bottomless Bowl Program, you can order any amount of dog food (single bags to multiple bags) to be delivered to Greyhound Friends on a regular basis – determined by you.  If you're interested in doing something like this for Greyhound Friends, here are the instructions:

• Go to www.petco.com
• Set up an account
• Set up a Bottomless Bowl named "GF Donation" or a similar title of your choice
• Choose the product(s) to ship, the delivery timeframe, and the payment method
• Add the ship to address and specify it's a gift - a gift message will appear on the packing slip
• Include the Greyhound Friends email address ghfriend @ greyhound.org without the spaces around the @) and an email gift notification will be sent

That's it!  This is a great way to help Greyhound Friends at whatever level you are able.  The combination of many such gifts will feed our dogs every day!  Thanks for your consideration of this special program.

NOTE:  Of course, if you'd rather just bring a bag of dog food to the kennel on a one-time basis rather than doing the above regularly scheduled delivery, that gift would be greatly appreciated also.

Support Greyhound Friends with Any of Your Transactions on eBay

Do you use eBay? Did you know you can help Greyhound Friends when you buy and sell?  Here’s how:

• Sell your unwanted items on eBay and donate 10-100% of the final sale price to Greyhound Friends.  You’ll get a tax deduction and a credit on your basic eBay selling fees and we will get a donation.
• Buy items listed on eBay to benefit Greyhound Friends.  You’ll get a great deal on whatever you’re looking for, and Greyhound Friends will get funds from your purchase.
• Give at checkout, too.  Each eBay user can customize the organizations that appear to them in Give At Checkout. Users can create a list of nonprofits they care about through the "My Favorite Nonprofit" feature. Those nonprofits will then be featured at checkout instead of ones that eBay selects. Each buyer will have the opportunity to add a $1 donation (or more) to their favorite nonprofit from this list whenever they shop. They'll also see their favorite as a featured cause whenever they create a new eBay listing. Be sure to include Greyhound Friends in your list of favorites!

Support Greyhound Friends and We Come to You!

Have your school, club, or organization hold a fundraiser for Greyhound Friends or do a drive for items on our Kennel Wish List, and Greyhound Friends will come to you. We will present an educational program on the history of greyhounds, greyhounds in America, and Greyhound Friends. Included will be the process of adopting a retired racer and bringing him into a home. Accompanying the program will be at least one adopted greyhound.
