Great Global Greyhound Walk - September 25th (Part One)

 Greetings WVGLs!

Question: What is happening on September 25th?
Answer: The Great Global Greyhound Walk of 2022!

Started in Great Britain in 2010, the Walk went worldwide in 2015, bringing greyhounds and their peeps together to walk in solidarity all over the globe. 
The aim was (and is) to celebrate Sighthounds, to raise awareness of hounds
in need, and to promote them as pets in a BIG way, particularly Greyhounds and Galgos.

While Greyhound racing is winding down in the U.S., there are still thousands of Greyhounds in need of homes in countries that still have racetracks, such as Ireland, Mexico, and Australia. Some of these dogs have been making their way to loving homes in America, including here in Oregon, where Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest has placed Greyhounds from both Ireland and now Australia.
 
Check out the details in the preceding post for the Willamette Valley Walk happening in downtown Eugene. We hope you will join us and other greyhound lovers in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Wales, Australia, Canada, and many more, to promote awareness for adoption and the Greatness of Greyhounds!

Cheers,
Kym
