Greyhounds in Motion: Annual Sighthound Celebration 2025

Mark your calendars for the most anticipated event of the year for sighthound enthusiasts! The 4th Annual Sighthound Celebration, hosted by Greyhounds in Motion, is set to take place on Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 10 AM to 2 PM in the picturesque town of Monteverde, Florida. This outdoor extravaganza promises a day filled with fun, friendship, and furry companionship, all while supporting a noble cause.

A Celebration of Sighthounds

The Annual Sighthound Celebration has become a beloved tradition, drawing dog lovers from across the region. Each year, the event has grown in size and spirit, with last year’s gathering boasting an impressive 141 sighthounds in attendance. This year, organizers are hoping to break that record, welcoming even more Greyhounds, Galgos, Podencos, Lurchers, Italian Greyhounds, Whippets, and other sighthound breeds to join in the festivities.

Event Highlights

Live Painting for Silent Auction

One of the most exciting additions to this year’s celebration is a live painting event. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to watch me bring a canvas to life, capturing the grace and beauty of sighthounds in real-time. This masterpiece will then be auctioned off in a silent auction, with all proceeds benefiting Greyhounds in Motion. It’s a perfect chance to take home a one-of-a-kind piece of art while supporting a worthy cause.

Meet Adoptable Dogs

For those considering adding a new member to their family, this event offers a wonderful chance to meet adoptable sighthounds. Representatives from Greyhounds in Motion will be present with information about the adoption process and to introduce you to some of their lovable, available dogs.

A Cause Worth Supporting

Greyhounds in Motion is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of retired racing greyhounds and other sighthounds in need. By attending this event and participating in the various activities, you’re directly contributing to their vital work. Your support helps provide medical care, food, shelter, and loving homes for these gentle, graceful dogs.

Community and Camaraderie

Beyond the activities and shopping, the Annual Sighthound Celebration is about bringing together a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for these unique breeds. It’s a chance to swap stories, share advice, and make new friends—both two-legged and four-legged! The event fosters a sense of belonging and mutual support that extends far beyond this single day.
