The McCoy Education Center is Buzzing

A Legacy in Action: From Birthdays to Doggie Diplomas

The vibrancy of the space reflects the collective support of many, with Greg McCoy playing the central role.

If walls could talk, the McCoy Education Center would be gushing with good news. This wing has always been a hub of activity, but with its new name honoring longtime supporter Greg McCoy, it has even more reasons to celebrate.

This space is constantly buzzing with energy:

• Children’s Camps: Kids learn what it takes to become a veterinarian and discover how an animal shelter runs behind the scenes.
• Birthday Parties: Celebrations where animal lovers learn, laugh, and make memories that last a lifetime.
• Joybound’s Grooming Academy: Future dog groomers find new skills and live paths through the art of the “before and after.”

The vibrancy of the space reflects the collective support of many, with Greg McCoy playing the central role. As Joybound’s Board President for 30 years, and a faithful major donor, Greg’s long-standing commitment has helped fuel the organization’s growth and impact. In recognition of his enduring legacy, Joybound’s Education Center proudly bears Greg’s name, serving as a tribute to his generosity and his unwavering dedication to making a difference.

So, whether you’re here for a child’s big day, a new leash on life through training in dog grooming, or just to witness the next generation of animal lovers in action, remember, you’re standing in a space built on loyalty, generosity, and maybe just a sprinkle of puppy hair.
