This year’s Pet Day celebration is slated for Saturday, May 4th 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 and MEET THE GREYHOUNDS!

See you there!
