Join us for an INDOOR playdate with your greyhounds and galgos at Noah’s Arf in Beaverton. Let them run in a safe, indoor area. All dogs must wear muzzles in the play area.

Entry Fee is $15 per dog. Water is provided.

Love playdates and wish they were year-round? Noah’s Arf in Beaverton, 14195 SW Millikan Way, has a large indoor playroom with lots of room for greyhounds to run around, and they offer private playdates for breed-specific groups, with no other dogs around. The room has high chain-link, movable fencing and rubberized flooring. They can even section off an area just for senior or shy greys that don’t enjoy the more rambunctious hounds.

NOTE: You will need to create an account on the Noah’s Arf website or app and submit proof of current rabies, kennel cough (Bordetella) and distemper vaccinations prior to your first visit and have your dogs on flea prevention. They must also be spayed or neutered, as are all greys adopted through us. There are also 3 agreements on the log-in page that must be signed.

Volunteers are always needed to help us make this a safe and fun playdate – email volunteernw@gpa-nw.org if you can help for an hour or more.
