Eight events. Ten dogs. One weekend. Buckle up, amigos; It's going to be a very busy week!
The fun starts Saturday morning, November 13th at four area PetSmart stores for their Adopt-a-thon events. You'll find us at:
- Colerain
- Eastgate
- Huber Heights
- Bridgewater Falls
If this is your first time attending the PetSmart Meet & Greets, you can get directions to each location on the Events section of the QCG website.
Also starting Saturday is a "Cut-a-thon" fundraiser sponsored by our friends at Aveda in Kenwood Towne Centre. This is one sweetheart of a deal. By calling 513-985-9855 (as soon as possible!) to schedule an appointment with them on either Saturday, November 13th or Sunday, November 14th (Kenwood location only), and mentioning it's for Queen City Greyhounds, a $20 donation will get you one classy hair cut & style. QCG gets to keep all of the proceeds! I mean, seriously, does it get any better? Most people spend $20 or more on a hair cut anyway, and in this case, your $20 helps save greyhounds.
A fringe benefit? You'll look snazzy for Sunday.
And what's on Sunday you ask? Well, now that you mention it...Sunday is going to be incredible. Clear your schedules and get ready for a busy day!

Sunday begins with both the Aveda Cut-a-thon AND a Meet & Greet at Moochie & Co. at Kenwood Towne Centre. For those who have not stopped by yet, we are lucky to have a partner like Moochie & Co. There is so much foot traffic at Kenwood, especially during this time of the year, that we've gotten to introduce the greyhound breed to tri-state residents that normally have not had this exposure. We have met all kinds of great potential families and individuals who are falling in love now with greyhounds and will likely look to Queen City Greyhounds to help them adopt their next pet. NOTE: Unlike other Meet & Greets, it is vital that you NOT bring your own greyhound to this event. Kenwood and Moochie (due to limited space) are understandably limiting the number of greyhounds we can have in the mall at any given time. If you are interested in volunteering for this Meet & Greet and want to bring your greyhound, please sign up through VolunteerSpot.
Once these events are over, we will move over to Paul & Carol Beaird's for the rest of the day. First, QCG will hold it's open Annual Meeting at approximately 3:00 pm. Click here for directions to Paul & Carol's home. At this meeting, we will review the events of the last year, preview what's coming in 2011, and announce the results of the election for the next Board of Directors. Voting is open to 1) Members of Queen City Greyhounds 2) Fosters of Queen City Greyhounds 3) Board Members. Tom has sent out the link to the ballot via email. If you have not received the link to the ballot, and believe you should have, please contact us immediately (click here to do so). Voting ends at 10:00 pm on Saturday, November 13th.
The annual meeting should wrap up just in time for... *drumroll*... the November Haul. TEN (yes, ten) former racing greyhounds will being their retirement, be greeted by the QCG family, and then head home with their foster families for a few weeks. For anyone contemplating adoption, this is a GREAT opportunity to take a look at all of the available greyhounds we will have. Many potential adopters find their match at these events. (Or, if you ask us, it seems to be that the greyhound picks out his/her family.)
We've updated the "Available Dogs" section of our website with a list and basic stats on the 10 dogs we are bringing up from Birmingham. There is a great variety this time, ranging from a petite 58 pound brindled female (PJ's Devil) to an 89 pound fawn male (WDR Evil Design). We'll get pictures uploaded to the site as soon as possible once the event ends.
We look forward to seeing you this weekend!

This will also be the inaugural haul of our new greyhound transportation vehicle. Special thanks to Tim and Ed for the time they've been putting in getting it ready for its voyage!
