Please explain:

I would like to help in these specific areas:

Daily turn‐outs
These involves letting each greyhound out into the pen, checking /cleaning their crates, giving fresh water, and some love and attention. This is done 4 times a day so we always need help.
Participate in hands‐on time with the greyhounds available for adoption
This would involve petting, giving baths and trimming nails when needed. These hounds need and want human contact so badly, and there are just so many hands to go around!
Attend special events with your greyhound or an adoptable greyhound.
Walk the greyhounds around the property; this helps with leash training.
Help teach the greyhounds the basics (sit, stay, lie down, etc.).
Fostering a special needs greyhound.
Help with sales of merchandise.
Help with food donations for the greyhounds.
Help with kennel repair or construction.
