Greyhound Friends annual Open House and Reunion will prove to be more than just an ordinary pet adoption awareness event. Owners of Greyhounds young and old are encouraged to come down to this event on the kennel grounds at 167 Saddle Hill Road, Hopkinton with their beloved canines to have them spoiled on location.

From 12:00pm - 5:00pm, activities have been planned for both days including pet pampering events such as Dog Massage, Pet Photography and the Not Quite Westminster Dog Show. The Open House will have food available, raffles, a silent auction, and of course, merchandise for the four-legged companion.

Four tracks will soon be closing for the season, making this a busy time for Greyhound Friends in finding placements for retired dogs. This is the perfect chance for potential dog owners thinking about greyhound adoption to come visit dogs in of need loving homes.
