It’s time for one of our favorite days of the year—Greyfest!
Join Greyhounds Unlimited for a day dedicated to celebrating the incredible dogs that bring us all together. Greyfest is our biggest annual fundraiser and a chance for greyhound lovers, adopters, volunteers, friends, and families to gather for a day filled with great food, shopping, raffles, fun, and, of course, plenty of greyhounds!
Best of all, every part of the day helps support Greyhounds Unlimited and the hounds who depend on us.
COME HUNGRY!

$18 per plate — advance purchase required.
MARGARITAS, ANYONE?
Pick up a Greyfest commemorative margarita mug for $10 and enjoy frozen margarita refills throughout the day. It’s a Greyfest tradition and a fun souvenir to take home when the day is over!
SHOP FOR A GREYT CAUSE
Treat yourself—or your favorite greyhound—to something special!
Stop by the Greyhounds Unlimited Store and browse our vendor booths featuring Shannon O’Reilly Designs, Lepope Designs, and more.
You’ll find plenty of unique goodies for greyhounds and the people who love them.
FEELING LUCKY?
There will be lots of chances to take home something fabulous!
Our Greyt Roo Raffle is always a favorite, with tickets just $1 each. Be sure to also check out the Silent Auction, packed with fantastic items and packages just waiting for your bid.
Buy a ticket. Place a bid. Have some fun. And know that every dollar helps our hounds!
MEET THE HOUNDS
Of course, the real stars of Greyfest are the greyhounds!
Spend some time meeting our wonderful hounds, including some who may be searching for their forever families. Whether you’re a longtime greyhound adopter or just curious about this amazing breed, Greyfest is the perfect opportunity to meet them up close.
And fair warning—you may arrive planning to simply say hello and leave wondering if there’s room on your couch for one more!
STRUT YOUR STUFF
The Greyfest Costume Contest is back!
Dress up your greyhound, bring your creativity, and get ready for some serious strutting. Whether your hound is glamorous, goofy, spooky, or completely over the whole idea, this is always one of the most entertaining parts of the day.
A DAY OF FUN WITH A BIGGER PURPOSE
Greyfest is a celebration, but it’s also an incredibly important fundraiser for Greyhounds Unlimited.
The money raised throughout the day helps us provide medical care, food, transportation, foster support, and everything else our greyhounds need while we work to find them loving forever homes.
So bring your friends, bring your family, and definitely bring your greyhound!
Come hungry. Come ready to shop. Come ready to win. And come ready for a GREYT day!

Greyhounds Unlimited is in constant need of foster homes for our greyhounds. By opening your home to foster, you help these dogs transition from kennel life to the experience of living inside a home. It can be a deeply rewarding, albeit occasionally challenging, experience.
If you're considering fostering, please reach out to info@greyhoundsunlimited.org. One of our foster coordinators will connect with you to discuss fostering and how you can contribute. We'll address any obstacles together to ensure a successful experience for you and your new foster companion!
