Proceeds from the Pet & Craft Expo help defray the transportation and veterinary costs of the hundreds of greyhounds that Greyhound Friends of New Jersey welcomes each year. Matching retired racers with families for more than 30 years, GFNJ provides each dog with spay/neuter surgery, updated inoculations, heartworm testing, and dental care before being placed in an adoptive home.
