Volunteer Opportunities

Northern Lights Greyhound Adoption is nothing without its volunteer base.  There are many way you can help and some do not require a big time commitment.  Here are some ideas:

Walk the Foster Dogs at the Clinic
While the new greyhounds are waiting for a foster home, a walk each day makes them very happy and healthy.  Do you have an hour or so 1 day a week, 1 day every two weeks, or 1 day a month that you would like to get a little extra exercise? Volunteer to be a dog walker.  If you would like to give it a try, please contact Donna at 763-754-9754 or send her an email, guber2nac@aol.com.
