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.
