Gearing up for the summer...

Summer is right around the corner, and with it comes GPA-Salt Lake's busy Meet&Greet season! Look for us at the Pioneer Park Farmer's Market, Park Silly Farmer's Market and Avenues Street Fair as well as our regular Trolley Square meets and Sunday walks at Liberty Park. It's going to be an awesome summer!

In other exciting news, GPA-SL will be welcoming three new greyhounds to Utah during the early morning hours of Saturday, May 1st. These dogs will be making a long journey from http://www.halfwayhomegreyhounds.com/ in Oklahoma, and our loyal volunteers will be waiting with open arms and clean collars when the hauler arrives! Haul days are always memorable, full of excitement and anticipation as we welcome in our newest retirees and start them on their journey to their forever homes with a luxurious 'spa day' where they get massages, baths, manicures and their first photo shoots. By the end of the day they will be settled in to their foster homes, where they will begin learning about all the perks of retiree life - treats, beds, stuffies, and all the skritches and pats their hearts desire!

If you are interested in volunteering at any of our events, or would like more information on fostering or adopting one of our awesome retirees, please visit our website for contact information.

It's all about the greyhounds...

GPA Salt Lake is proud to be a sub-chapter of Greyhound Pets of America. Our mission is to find loving, responsible homes for retired racing greyhounds and to educate the public about their fantastic qualities and availability as pets. We are an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(C)(3) organization with foster homes and volunteers located throughout the Salt Lake valley.

Stay tuned for spotlights on adoptable dogs, event announcements, fun photos and more!
