How else can I help? 

             

There are lots of ways you can help us with our annual appeal. You can simply donate here: www.greyhoundsaspets.org.nz/donate or fundraise for us. Whether you can make it to the street appeal or not, you can set up your own "virtual bucket" fundraising page, allowing your family and friends to donate to help more Greyhounds find a loving home. This is a great way to put a personal touch on your fundraiser and encourage others to do the same.

There are many ways you can help us raise donations within your own community. The fundraising options are endless: at work, the gym or at home. Together with your family and friends, or choose a challenge for your yourself. We have put together a list of fundraising ideas below. 

You can also transfer your raised donations to our bank account. Our bank account details are: BNZ bank, Greyhound Programme Adoption Trust, 02 – 0500 – 0931039 - 00
