Our next walk is announced. Let you hound run free safely! Interested?

posted in Walks |

Information on our next walk:

Sunday, July 25th from 9am-10am.(Take note of the earlier start time) 
Wegmans Good Dog Park
Onondaga Lake Park
2500 Cold Springs, Liverpool, NY 13090

Directions can be found HERE.

Well, after some doing and negotiation, our next event will be held at the Good Dog Park in Liverpool. Instead of walking our hounds, we will have one whole side of the dog park to ourselves. Yes, the kind folks at Onondaga Parks are allowing our club private access to one of the two fenced in areas for an hour. This is all happening FREE OF CHARGE! This means our hounds can play, explore and run free while us humans can hang out, watch the fun and socialize. I want to make this an event to remember. I will have a table setup at the entrance promoting our club,  and most importantly, promoting Greyhound adoption. If any of the local adoption groups would like to have literature on that table, please feel free to email me.  I am also going to try and get one of the local TV stations there to cover the event!  We will also be doing some raffles for Greyhound Walking Club Merchandise.
In order to make the event as incredible as I know it can be, I will need your help. Please tell as many Greyhound owners as you can. The bigger the turnout the better. We want to really show people just how tight nit our club is and just how passionate we are about our hounds. So please, spread the word!

There are just a couple additional rules that need to be followed at this event:

#1. This event is just for Greyhounds and their owners. I know we do allow other breeds at our walks but I would like to keep this event to just our Greyhounds.
#2. When entering the fenced in area, your Greyhound must be wearing all their proof of Rabies vacacination tags.
#3. All Greyhounds must wear a muzzle when off leash in the fenced in area. This is one that I am not so happy with but its strictly for the safety of the dogs. We  know Greyhounds pretty much all get along. However, in an environment where they are allowed to roam and play free, you never know what could happen. My hope is we can make this Good Dog Park event a regular occurance so lets make sure our hounds are on their best behavior.

That’s it! I hope you are as excited about this event  as I am. It should be a great time and also give us the opportunity to help promote Greyhound adoption. If at 10am, people feel like having an actual walk around the park with our hounds, we could certainly do that.  If anyone has any additional ideas for that day or questions please don’t hesitate to email me at glenn@thegreyhoundwalkingclub.com. As always, please leave a comment at the end of this post if you plan on attending.

    How greyt, Glenn!!! That’s a 2-hours drive for us (one way!), but we’ll see what we can do.

    I assume this means my Borzoi can’t pass as a Greyhound? Greyhound in drag, perhaps?? Oh, well……we may not have a muzzle long enough to
    contain his endless snoot anyway!! Unfortunately, our Mentally Irregular Red GH, Baxter, probably couldn’t cope with this scene – but I think it’s
    truly GREYT!! And thanks so much, Glenn, for obtaining use of the Good Dog Park!

    Great idea Glenn! Looking forward to it. I can bring adoption info on Greyhound Outreach. Brochures? Or what should I bring? Just let me know.
    See you there with Wil.
