CG Magazine: About CG

Celebrating Greyhounds is a quarterly publication for Greyhound adopters, owners, and friends. Made possible through the cooperative efforts of individuals and Greyhound adoption organizations, it is published under the auspices of The Greyhound Project, Inc., a nonprofit corporation. Two copies are sent free of charge to every adoption group in the world. Those with an interest in Greyhounds, Greyhound adoptions, sighthounds, or any dog, will find interesting information here.

CG Magazine was created in 1996 to augment The Greyhound Project's bi-monthly free newsletter, Speaking of Greyhounds, published between 1994 and 1998 and distributed free to adoption volunteers. So many adopters also wanted the newsletter that CG was created to fill the void for those who had no other publication to turn to. The main purpose of the magazine is to provide information about Greyhounds as a breed as well as to benefit Greyhounds and the people who work in adoptions. CG currently has a distribution of over 6,000 with subscribers in all 50 states as well as Canada, England, France, Germany, Australia and Hong Kong.

CG Magazine is informative and entertaining. It publishes helpful, serious as well as lighthearted articles for people living with Greyhounds. Topics range from activities, adoption and rescue, caring for healthy and special needs dogs, fundraising ideas, medical information, to stories about courageous Greyhounds, cartoons and humor, book reviews, and even information about famous Greyhounds.
