"Unofficial Meet & Greet," Sat May 22nd, Brewer's Ale Fest, Rogue Brewery, Newport, OR 1PM-3PM

Join Barry, Cuyla, Tom (his first public appearance since his surgery!) and Cassi as they stroll around Rogue Brewery, sample some microbrews, and introduce folks to the wonderful world of Greyhounds at the 4th Annual Brewer’s Memorial Ale Fest at the Rogue Brewery in Newport. Bring your pooch…on a leash, of course!

This is a 21+ event. Your $10 admission gets you an event mug and 3 beer tickets. Proceeds benefit the Central Coast Humane Society and Oregon Coast Therapy Animals.

Again, this is not an official event, but we will have brochures and business cards available to anyone interested in Greyhound adoption.

This event is a blast! It is held annually with canines in mind. Sample over 50 microbrews and hang out with cool dogs! And don’t worry about the rain. Most activity is indoors.

We'll be there from 1pm - 3pm. See you there!

The Furminator is on sale!

If you've been thinking about purchasing a Furminator (I have one, and it's essential for greyhounds that shed!) but have been put off by the cost, Coastal Farm & Ranch has it on sale for $19.99...by far the best price I've seen for this item. Usually the Furminator sells for $40 or more. Highly recommended!

Here is a link to the Coastal ad. The sale is through Saturday, May 8th.
