Southeastern Greyhound Adoption Meet & Greet

Southeastern Greyhound Adoption (SEGA) will hold a Meet & Greet at the 1st annual Celebrate America Festival, 1170 Buford Highway, Suwanee, GA  30024 from 12:30-5:30 pm. These events are a wonderful way to meet Greyhounds up close and talk to their owners about the joys of adopting an ex-racer.  Meet & Greets are hosted by SEGA volunteers who typically bring their own pets.   Contrary to popular belief, Greyhounds do not need excessive amounts of exercise but, in fact, are gentle and very laid-back dogs that make excellent pets for all types of families.  SEGA is an organization that places Greyhounds into homes after their racing careers have ended. The mission of SEGA is to find good permanent homes for former racing Greyhounds and to educate the public about why Greyhounds make good pets.  Since its inception in 1998, SEGA has placed more than 1700 Greyhounds into loving homes.  For more information see www.greyhoundadoption.org, email at info@greyhoundadoption.org or call us at 770-473-9738.
