Corvallis Adoption Event! Pet Day 2011 - Saturday, April 30th
This year’s Pet Day celebration is slated for Saturday, April 30th from 10AM - 3PM. Pet Day is held at Magruder Hall, located on 30th Street just west of the Merritt Truax Indoor Center on the campus of Oregon State University in Corvallis. As usual, Greyhound Pet Adoption - Northwest will have a booth, along with some greyt adoptable Greyhounds. The event is free, though some activities (pony rides, dog wash) will have a nominal fee. Pet Day activities include agility demonstrations, fun run/walk (with or without your pet), games, food, demonstrations, llamas, goats, ponies and dogs, dogs, dogs! Last year nearly 3,000 folks attended, so this is a greyt chance to educate folks about the joys of life with a Greyhound, as well as a chance to show off your pooch! Yes, leashed dogs are welcome throughout the grounds, though they are not allowed at the indoor exhibits.
Free parking is available across the street in the Reser Stadium lot.
Come celebrate the human-animal bond!

April Greyhound Walk - Sunday, April 17th
Let’s enjoy spring by looking for eggs and a stray bunny or two along the way on our walk around Walterville Pond at 1:30 on Sunday April 17th. Drive east on Hwy 126 from Springfield; at mile 13 there is a church on the right side of the road and the canal’s coming along on the left. Cross the canal and take a left. You’ll drive in the opposite direction from the way you came to a small parking lot at the pond. It only takes about a half hour to walk around the pond but we could also walk along the canal. See you there!
