Cinco de Mayo Open House
Purpose Statement

The purpose of this year’s Cinco de Mayo Open House is continuing development of community awareness by focusing on two major aspects of Greyhound Friends of North Carolina’s Mission Statement. This year’s highlights are:

Health and Welfare – On-going Veterinary Care -
Greyhound Friends has a very proactive approach in caring for the needs of each dog. The health and welfare of each dog comes first. The adoption fee does not cover the cost of each dogs care. The kennel also experiences normal non-adoption care for the dogs on a routine basis. Our Mission Statement charges GFNC with providing for the health care and welfare of each dog. This is an on-going process that will always be a part of our efforts and needed as long as there are greyhounds to rescue.
