Busy summer for GPA-SL!

GPA-Salt Lake will be hosting a booth at the Downtown Farmer's Market this Saturday, June 26th from 8am to 1pm. It is a fun, fast-paced Meet & Greet and as always, adopters and hounds alike are welcome at the booth, and we will have treats and water for everyone. If you are available to offer help during setup or teardown, we can always use an extra set of hands. This will be the last booth at the Market for GPA until mid-August, so don't miss your chance to visit and browse the vendors before the real summer heat arrives!

As we head in to the month of July, the GPA Meet & Greet calendar offers more fun opportunities for you and your hounds to volunteer. Our monthly Trolley Square meet will be held on Saturday the 3rd between 1-4pm, and we will be at our usual location next to the glass elevator. We will also be hosting a booth at the Park Silly Farmer's Market in Park City on Sunday the 18th from 9am-6pm. This is a great chance to escape the valley for some gorgeous scenery, amazing vendors and great food while spreading the word about our awesome dogs.

Our regularly scheduled Sunday walks are another great way to get out and enjoy the company of our wonderful adopters and hounds, and we will continue to meet at 9:30 and make our way around the park, albeit using a more wandering route due to the continued cleanup efforts around the pond. We always have water and treats for the hounds at the 'finish line' and as an added bonus Faith has started offering a 'mani/pedi' Dremel service for your dogs for a small donation towards the GPA-SL foster hounds' care. Dremeling is a great way to keep your greyhound's nails nice and short, without the pain of 'quicking' or the rough edges you get with nail clippers, and most hounds accept it readily when treats and pets are involved. If you have never tried it, this is a great way to see how it's done while supporting our fabulous fosters!
