Meet 'n Greet is "Greyt" Success for Hound-Loving High School Student! 
Ashley Watkins, a senior at Seneca Valley High School, has been working hard on a year-long project which profiles greyhounds in the racing industry.  On March 29th, she organized a meet 'n greet at the Cranberry PetsMart to raise  money to benefit the greyhounds in the Steel City Greyhounds adoption program.  In addition to raising money to help the hounds, Ashley is also very interested in increasing public awareness of the need for greyhound adoption.  Several volunteers were on hand with their hounds to help spread the word about greyhound adoption and an amazing $143 in donations were received to continue helping hounds find homes.

 

 

Upcoming Events:

Greyhounds at Station Square!
Please join us for our monthly meet-n-greets at the Buckhead Saloon.  Come down and have a few drinks and eat dinner while our volunteers greet the patrons at the front door!  Watch our events page for our upcoming dates.  If you want to volunteer to greet with your greyhound; please contact Liisa Stolar.   

All year long, we can use recycled canine items.  Please donate gently used leashes, martingale collars or coats back to SCG for some needy galgos in Barcelona, Spain.

SCG's own Bob Pazehoski can engrave wonderful unique items for your friends and family.  Check out his website and see his greyhound "Marley" as the model and inspiration for his artwork.  Go to:  genesisengraving.com for more information.

 

 


History

Greyhounds are the oldest pure breed dog and date back to the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt.  It's also the only dog to be mentioned in The Bible.

Life's Good

These purebred athletes enjoy many years of good health.  With proper care, they have a life expectancy of 12 years or more.
