Registered Charity No: 1152650 Your Fundraising Pack To give them the life they deserve
Thank you for choosing to Fund-
raise for Greyhound Rescue Wales.
This pack will offer help and advice
to support the charity, with hints
and tips to make your fundraiser a
success!
GRW campaigns endlessly to
spread the message that
Greyhounds and Lurchers make
wonderful pets and companion
dogs.
Every adopted dog is neutered,
vaccinated, microchipped, given
veterinary treatment if necessary
and comes with a collar, lead,
muzzle and tag. With an adoption
fee of £175, the charity loses money
every time a dog goes to a new
home!

collections as volunteers in their own right.

around strangers, children and other dogs
and that owners keep dogs on a lead at all
times.
