Welcome to Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption!
Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption, SA Greys, is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to finding loving forever homes for greyhounds.
We are the new greyhound adoption group in Southern Arizona, with more than 70 
veteran greyhound adopters and volunteers. Our members have 5, 10, 15 years experience in greyhound adoption. We have done it all – clean kennels, animal care, meet & greets, foster care, and, of course, adoption. It takes a devoted village of volunteerism to thrive and SA Greys will.
What you can do to help SA Greys:
Adopt, fall in love with a greyhound, who will capture your heart and change your life.
Donate, every dollar goes directly to the greyhounds. Your donation pays the vet, food and kennel bills. Check the Donation page for the wish list items you can help supply.
Volunteer, short term, long term or for special events. Get up close and personal. The greyhounds will love you and expect lots of heavy petting.
Interact, come to events. Check the blog for updates. Participate on Facebook and Twitter.
Vote Now!
Early voting for the SA Grey’s board is now open. Click this link to cast your ballot. Every member is entitled to vote, but you may only vote once.
In an effort for the organization to foster an open and member-driven organization, the steering committee reopened the nomination period for Board positions. This resulted in two changes in the slate of candidates for the SA Grey’s Board of Directors.
Lori Riegel has been nominated as Funding and Development Director, and Dawn Heineman has been Nominated as Member-at-Large. Their candidate statements are available for review on the website.
Now it is up to you to vote! Just as you determined the slate of candidates, your vote will determine the Board of Directors.
Remember to vote, you must be a member of SA Greys!
Many of you are already members in good standing. If you waited to join, now is the time! It is simple and fast to signup on the SA Greys’ website. Become a member and you have a voice in the future of your organization.

Dog of the Week:
Eve
I’m Eve and yes, it’s all about me. If you’ve lived long enough to remember superstar actress Betty Davis, you’ll understand the Quip! Betty was often feisty in her movies, but I’m just a happy, friendly greyhound with a sweet nature. When I went to the vet’s office for my first evaluation, I didn’t harass or chase the cats or small dogs that were waiting to see the vet, so I am small animal tolerant. As you can see from my picture, I’m a curvy black cutie with a cruising speed of 40 mph. Should the need arise, however, I can ‘up’ that to a racing speed of 45 mph. Like, say, if Justin Beaver was signing autographs at the nearest Mall. Oh my, where are my smelling salts and my fan? Notice the French manicure and pedicure? Believe me; I had to Roo plenty to get my nails done Ooh La La! I’m a girly gal that likes to look pretty when I socialize with humans or canines.
