Meet and Greets
We
invite you to come to the Meet/Greets! Learn more
about this wonderful breed, talk to Greyhound owners and
volunteers, and best of all ---spend time with some
Greyhounds. Lisa Bleche llblechle13@msn.com
Here is your opportunity to meet available greyhounds and adopted
greyhounds and their owners! We can also present 'Show & Tell'
programs for schools and service organizations. If you would like to
host a Meet & Greet or have a QCGA representative speak to your
group, please contact Lisa Blechle at llblechle13@msn.com or (563) 508-6457.
