Volunteers Needed!

Maine Greyhound Placement Service is seeking dedicated volunteers to join our team in caring for retired racing greyhounds. We are especially in need of individuals who can commit to a regular weekly schedule, as well as helpers to work alongside experienced volunteers. Even a short-term commitment of 6–8 weeks would make a tremendous difference—and of course, we welcome anyone who is able to stay longer.

Your support is invaluable. By assisting with simple but important tasks such as holding gates and helping with daily routines, you’ll not only ease the workload for our current team but also ensure the comfort and well-being of the greyhounds in our care.

These remarkable dogs have given their best on the track, and now it’s our turn to give back. Volunteering at MGPS offers the rewarding experience of spending time with some of the most affectionate, intelligent, and graceful companions you’ll ever meet.

If you’re interested in becoming an MGPS volunteer or volunteer helper, please contact Dawn at 207-557-3166 (call or text).

Note: Volunteers under 18 are welcome with a parent or guardian. In some cases, teens may be paired with an experienced volunteer after attending an orientation with their parent.
