While we are thrilled to have our new kennel up and running, we still endeavor to place senior and/or greyhounds needing a little more personal time and care into foster homes.  Our foster homes consist of experienced volunteers and greyhound owners who provide shelter to greyhounds in their own homes giving them love, tender loving care, transport to vet appointments, grooming and anything else they might need while they are in our system. Most dogs that are “Forever Fosters?” are dogs that are seniors who have been in our system for a while, sometimes years, or dogs that have special needs above and beyond what many adopters can handle.  Most “Forever Fosters?” are available for adoption, but generally they are only suitable for experienced adopters or those with a very specific home environment. Our “Forever Fosters?” are listed below.  They are surrounded by people who love them and have plenty of canine companionship at all times.  If you can't adopt a dog and you'd like to help, please sponsor one of our “Forever Fosters?”. Your sponsorship donation will help defray the costs involved in making our long term fosters comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. If you're interested in adopting one of these dogs, please contact the Vice President closest to you listed below or click the "Contact for more information" button included with each dog.

	Allie Tag No: 4413 Registered Name: Ranco Brandy Age: 10 Color: Brindle Cat friendly: Yes Dog friendly: Yes Kid friendly: No Location: Maltby, WA (Foster) Comments: Allie is a beautiful, smart 9 year old girl who loves the company of other greyhounds, and is cat friendly. She easily learned how to sit, down and even to salute. However when it comes to meeting new people, she needs a little more help. She wants to please, but her fear of strangers sometimes gets the best of her and results in very aggressive behavior. Long term observation and efforts to understand the reasons for her reactions has not revealed an answer. So, Allie is now loved, and we live with her quirks, but not without a few bites over the years. Sponsored by Deanna Ulino Also sponsored by Becky Kranz
	Pete Tag No: 5136 Registered Name: Going My Way Age: 10 Color: Red Cat Friendly: Yes Dog Friendly: Yes Kid Friendly: Yes, good with older and younger Location: Bothell, WA  (Foster) Comments: Pete is a sweet guy who has settled in so easy from day one. He is definitely cat friendly and all dog friendly, he is very well behaved and curls right up in the car and at home. He is an older guy but just say the word “Snack” and he is up so fast and quite the talker to let you know he is ready for one. That said, Pete has a problem with his tongue and consequently a problem with eating. He loves his toys and blankets to snuggle up with. He would be greyt for any type of family and has a lot of love to give. Pete also has a few tickly spots he loves for you to get. Sponsored by James and Mary Ellen Palms
	Ty Tag No: 4802 Registered Name: WW's Time Table Age: 7 Color: Brindle Cat Friendly: No Dog Friendly: Ok with large and small Kid Friendly: Older only Location: Bothell, WA (Foster) Comments: Ty is a handsome boy. He's a little on the shy side, but not overly so. Once he knows the volunteers he has been friendly and affectionate. He would prefer a quieter home with no young children. Ty is a great boy, but we would not recommend Ty for the first time dog owner. Sponsored by Cathy and Jack Munro
