Save the Date -- October 26th -- Anoka Halloween Parade

Even though the stores are beginning to be decorated for Christmas, we have not had Halloween!!!

The Anoka Halloween Parade will be held on Saturday, October 26th.  It is a very fun event that is well attended.  Thousands of people line the parade route.  Anoka IS the Halloween Capital of the World after all!

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.

Task Tuesday -- Eye on You!

Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers,

It's Task Tuesday for NLGA's Photo Roundup!  This week the task is greyhound eyes!  Yes, those big brown eyes that can convince us of oh so many things...

Lucky has his eye on you!
