Visit Brendan and other adoptable dogs at Greyhound Friends in Hopkinton.
Here's the next Pet of the Week: Brendan! Brendan (Chasen Brendan) is a big exuberant boy! We've learned he does not like to be crated. He would do best in a home with another greyhound to help him settle in (he has a bit of anxiety). Brendan is very sweet and outgoing. He loves to give kisses and lean up against you. He isn't a loud "screamy" type of dog. Once this boy finds his forever home, he'll just blossom! Please come by and meet this boy. He's very special! To meet Brendan, and many other dogs visit the Greyhound Friends website.

Sherborn resident Louise Coleman offers a different kind of shopping experience for the coming holidays. In 2008, Coleman opened a thrift store in Natick that would solely benefit Greyhound Friends, Inc., a not-for-profit organization that she founded in 1983 to find homes for greyhounds. “The main purpose is to support greyhound adoption,” said Coleman of her store Second Chances on West Street in Natick. The opportunity presented itself when a friend was vacating studio space near the Natick town common on the corner of Route 135 and Route 27. Most of the items the store sells are donated.
