It's Rover Romp Time Again!

Greenhill Humane Society is holding our 15th annual Rover Romp Event on Sunday, August 24, 2008. This year's event will include a 5k run and a 2k walk at Meadow Lark Prairie across from Greenhill. The festivities will carry over to the Greenhill lawn with demonstrations, contests, local vendors, raffles, childrens activities, and lots of fun!

This year it is easier than ever to register for the event. Just go to our Rover Romp webpage and you can register today! Once you are registered you will have your own personal page where you can create a fundraising goal, email friends and family to sponsor you and upload pictures of you and your pets! Also online you will find event information, maps and a list of all the participants.

We are very excited about this year's Rover Romp! Our goal is to raise $15,000 to help the homeless animals in our community. We need your help to make it happen! Make sure to register online, set-up your personal page and start collecting those pledges!

In the coming weeks and months Greenhill is teaming up with a variety of local businesses to hold some really fun and unique events and promotions. Make sure to check out these upcoming happenings:

• Yappy Hour! LexiDog is hosting Yappy Hour on Sunday, July 6th from 3pm - 5pm on the patio of LaVelle Bistro & Wine Bar at the 5th Street Public Market. In addition to the wine drinking and dog socializing that will be taking place, LexiDog is sponsoring a toy drive to collect toys for Greenhill animals. They will also be donating 20% of the day's toy sales from their boutique to Greenhill Humane Society. So grab your dog, warm up your palette, pick up a toy donation and make your way to Yappy Hour!
• Miller Lite... a great taste for Greenhill. Taylor's Bar and Grille at 894 E. 13th will donate $10 to Greenhill for every keg of Miller Lite emptied from June 1st through August 31st.
• Buffalo Exchange is adding Greenhill as one of the groups they support through their Tokens for Bags program. Every customer who does not take a bag for their purchase is given a token worth 5 cents that they then put toward one of the charities or non-profits highlighted in the store. Greenhill will be a highlighted non-profit starting in July and running through December. Buffalo Exchange is located at 131 E. 5th Ave in Eugene.
  

Greenhill's staff and animals want to send a huge thank you out to all the students, organizations and individuals who have shown Greenhill an immense amount of support by organizing fundraisers or volunteering. Here are some of the activities that have recently taken place in support of Greenhill:

• The Sheldon High School Cupcake Club donated a month's profits to Greenhill. Each month the Cupcake Club bakes cupcakes to sell to students at their school. At the end of the month they donate 100% of their proceeds to a local charity.
• Students from Creswell High School and Spencer Butte Middle School spent a day helping longtime Greenhill volunteer Susan Peterson with landscaping around Greenhill's property.
• Linda Smart's 5th grade class at Hillside Elementary held a yard sale to benefit Greenhill as a class project. The sale raised $400 for Greenhill animals.
• Nina's Pony Espresso held carwashes at three locations as a fundraiser for Greenhill. Together they raised $1,720!
• A group of local Girl Scouts quilted bed pads for Greenhill's cattery.

Thank you again to everyone who continues to support Greenhill Humane Society!
