If you’re not sure what to choose, please call or email our director, Terri Shepard, to discuss your ideas.
Remember a Loved One with a Tree of Life Leaf
You can memorialize a loved one with their name engraved on a hand-wrought leaf installed on the beautiful tree that greets all kennel visitors in our reception area.
Sculpted by local metal artist Eduardo Amaral, the tree and leaves are a lasting and meaningful memorial. Please download an order form with all the details or email greyhoundfriends.office@gmail.com with any questions. Leaves are $300 each, with all proceeds supporting adoption, of course.

Donate an Old Car
Please consider donating your “retired” car to Greyhound Friends. Pickup is easy through CarEasy.com, and when you designate Greyhound Friends as the beneficiary, you’ll get a tax receipt and help dogs too. More into at https://careasy.org/nonprofit/greyhound-friends Thank you!
Planned and Legacy Giving
When you include Greyhound Friends in your estate plan, you create a legacy of love for sighthounds. Planned gifts allow you to be a part of lifesaving work for these special dogs, now and into the future.
Planned gifts of any type and size are a powerful way to support this important work without dipping into your current assets. They are simple to arrange and may carry valuable tax benefits for you. By planning your giving strategy, you may find that you can make and even greater impact than would otherwise be possible.
Planned giving strategies may include designating Greyhound Friends in a trust or will, an annuity, retirement plan or insurance plan, a donor-advised fund (DAF), or as the recipient of non-cash gifts or appreciated assets. Please speak with your financial planner and estate attorney about the options best suited for you.
Greyhound Friends’ EIN is 22-2624136. Please contact us – or ask your professional advisor to get in touch – for any information that will assist in your planning.
