The Maine Greyhound Placement Service (MGPS) invites the public to its popular annual Open House & Reunion on Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., both days at the MGPS Kennel, 231 Old Belgrade Road, Augusta, Maine 04330. The event is free and open to everyone — rain or shine!
MGPS is home to wonderful retired racing Greyhounds – gentle “45-mph couch potatoes” that are quiet, clean, affectionate, and wonderfully low-maintenance companions. Visitors will enjoy:
Guided kennel tours
Meet many sweet retired racing greyhounds
Delicious food and fun vendors
Professional pet portraits by Axell Photography
Fun surprises and giveaways!
“This is the perfect relaxed way for families to learn about retired racing greyhounds and spend a wonderful day with these amazing dogs,” said Bill Axell, of Axell Photography, partner for the event.
The open house has become a favorite summer tradition across central Maine. Attendees can tour the kennel, meet the greyhounds, enjoy great food and vendors, and even take home professional photos of their own pets.
