Photos From Pet Day 2017!

Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine's annual Pet Day celebration was yet another GREYT day for our Greyhounds!  Two greys (Biscuit & Bubba) found their "forever" homes, with the possibility of a third being placed in the near future.  Considering we only had three Greyhounds to place this time, we feel we did pretty well!
