Town Manager, Norman Khumalo would like to share the below feedback from Town Counsel, Raymond Miyares regarding the Greyhound Friends License Public Forum. The forum was initially scheduled for August and was moved to the Tuesday September 11th Board of Selectmen meeting.

Town Manager, Norman Khumalo has announced the Greyhound Friends Public Hearing is postponed until September 11th.

The Board of Selectmen will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, August 7, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. at HCAM TV-Studio, (Lower Level), 77 Main Street, Hopkinton, pursuant to M.G.L. c.140 §137C relative to the Greyhound Friends, Inc. dog kennel at 167 Saddle Hill Road, for the purpose of determining whether the kennel is being maintained in a sanitary and humane manner and/or if records are properly kept as required by law. This public hearing has been rescheduled from March 28, 2017.

The animal rescue community has come together to urge the Town of Hopkinton to permanently revoke the kennel license of the dog kennel Greyhound Friends. Many in the community were shocked by a 236-page state report documenting Greyhound Friends’ neglect of sick and injured dogs, including a dog with aggressive cancer.
