Greyhound Gala 2012: Volunteer Meeting

We are pleased to announce the date of the 2012 Greyhound Gala: March 10, 2012!

We need to begin securing Sponors and Donors for the event so please check back for details about Sponsorships and Donations.

Any volunteer is welcome to join us on a Greyhound Gala committee and we'd love to have you on the Gala team.

There will be an open volunteer meeting on Sunday, January 8th at 3:00pm at Lighthouse Lutheran Church (in the basement) in Edmond. Lighthouse Lutheran is located at 325 S. Boulevard, Edmond, OK 73034.

The meeting will last about 1.5 hours - we will pass out information about the event and what we need in terms of event volunteers, donations and sponsorships.

Last year we raised over $6,000 - more than twice our goal! We hope we can blow last year's results out of the park and help raise funds for what matters most: our foster greyhounds!

We hope to see you at the Volunteer Meeting on January 8th at 3pm!

Spotlight on Steady!

Steady, or "Lonestar Steady," just came in from the track in Orlando. He has a lot to learn about living in a home but is adjusting nicely. He is very hesitant on experiencing new things, but takes guidance from other dogs very well. He will need a buddy to show him the ropes and make him feel more confident. He will also need a friend to keep him company during the day, he doesn’t like to be left alone. Steady is a quick learner, but will require a patience. Once he feels comfortable he loves to play, run, and really loves a good neck scratch. He has not yet been cat tested but will be soon. Steady is the offspring of HOH’s YooHoo Canoe and Ace’s baby brother.

DELUXE hosts HOH as featured Charity!

This Saturday, December 10th Hounds of the Heartland will have a booth at the DELUXE Indie Craft Bazaar at the State Fairgrounds - Centennial Building in downtown OKC {11am-5pm}. While we have secured all our volunteer spots and are at our maxiumum greyhound limit, we'd love for you and your family/friends to stop by to visit our booth and enjoy the event!

DELUXE is free to attend and ALL items are 100% handmade. We will be raffling off some exciting prizes so be sure to stop by to buy some raffle tickets and support our adoption program. You don't have to be present to win the raffle!

Stop by between 11am-2pm to meet Charley and Polly, both adoptable greyhounds, or come by between 2-5pm to meet Frankie, also currently adoptable and ready for your love!

We hope to see you there!

Special thanks to Sara Cowan and DELUXE for inviting Hounds of the Heartland to the event as the Featured Charity and supporting our hope to find a home for every hound!

Spotlight on Robin!

Robin is a sweet, shy little girl who is coming out of her shell more and more each day. She would do great in a home with other dogs to show her the ropes. She is a real doll and will need someone who is willing to work with her on her shyness and show her that retirement is a greyt time!
