How Can You Help?

Would you like to help Nittany Greyhounds? There are many ways to help from volunteering your time to donating goods. Here are a few of the things we are always in need of:

Obviously cash is always appreciated; and please know that every penny you donate will be used in service to these wonderful adoptable dogs. Our bills in 2009 included almost $8,000 worth of medical bills and about $1,000 in dogfood. Every little bit helps, and it doesn't matter the amount. If we all give a little, we can do a lot! On behalf of the dogs, thanks! (And of course, the donation is tax deductible.)

  • KNOW AN ARTIST? Why not ask them if they might create one or more custom greyhound items for an auction or for the goodie store? This could be a great fundraising idea for Nittany
  • FUND RAISERS are a great way to help us raise money, see a list of our fundraisers
  • Buy Nittany stuff from the Goodie store. Shop using igive.com for your shopping- we get a donation from every purchase, if you go through that website to order
  • Use igive.com to buy from online merchants, and use their iSearch to earn us money while you surf.

Now that Nittany Greyhounds has a kennel again, we have a whole new wish list of items you can contribute to help us take care of our adoptive greyhounds. If you're unsure of what to contribute, aside from cash, keep in mind that gift cards are a great way to give back... Lowes, Home Depot, Petco, WalMart, Sams Club are all places we shop for our everday kennel needs.
