Current Highlights

Can't adopt? Then sponsor a dog!

Allie is a beautiful, smart 9 year old girl however when it comes to meeting new people, she needs a little more help. She wants to please, but her fear of strangers sometimes results in undesireable behavior. She is well-loved in her Forever Foster home.

Allie will most likely be in our system for awhile. You can help to offset our expenses by sponsoring her or any one of our wonderful greyhounds while they wait for their forever homes. Thank you!

We just can’t figure out why Linkz has not been adopted yet – he is such a greyt boy. Linkz is an absolute character. He has the cutest tail that goes in all directions - can't seem to make up its mind whether it wants to go round and round or up and down. This boy loves life and will make you smile as well. Linkz has definitely matured and with a little exercise he soon mellows out and is happy to hang with you.

If you would like to sponsor Linkz while he wants for his forever home, click here.

	BLACK GREYHOUNDS ROOL! Black greyhounds are every bit as loving and wonderful as any other color greyhound. Many parts of the country have a hard time placing black greyhounds, but here in the Pacific Northwest we know better and welcome them into our homes. For more information about Black Greyhounds, click here. The logo for this wonderful event was created by Robin James.

Check out a beautiful new video created by Michelle Buchan featuring music composed by Jacinth Clifton especially for GPI.

KURANDA BEDS FOR THE KENNEL
GPI is currently in need of more Kuranda Dog Beds for our kennel dogs. If you would like to donate a bed to GPI, please click the image or here for more info. You will be taken directly to GPI's Kuranda Bed Donation page. Thank you!

Kennel Help Needed - GPI is looking for volunteers to help with the greyhounds at the kennel during turnouts. The Kennel is located in Woodinville, WA - if you are interested, (you don't have to have a greyhound - we'd love it if you did!), just let Steven Facer know.

Needed Kennel Items - We're frequently asked what we need at the kennel. We always need blankets and quilts for the dogs. Also, we're in need of:
- Kuranda Dog Beds
- Kirkland dog biscuits
- Bedding for the dogs both with stuffing and without stuffing of any kind
- Bleach
- Kirkland Lamb and Rice Kibble
- Natural Balance Potato and Duck Kibble
- 13 gallon plastic bags with ties
- Stamps (44 cents or "Forever")
- Greyhound Gang Glucosamine
- Canned pumpkin (not the pie mix, but the plain pumpkin)

New Kennel Needs:
- Unstuffed bedding. We have quite a few dogs at the moment that
like to chew/shred the stuffed bedding, so we use the unstuffed (Twin to
Queen sized blankets are wonderful) bedding with them. With so many dogs
needing the unstuffed bedding we are running short. The dogs can use
whatever you can't.
- Kong dog toys. We are in search of more X-Large and XX-Large
Kong and Extreme Kong dog toys. We don't want the kong balls, those with
"nobbies" on them, or sizes smaller than X-Large. The X-Large and XX-Large
Kong and Extreme Kong dog toys work best as we can leave them with the dogs in their runs and not worry about them chewing pieces off and possibly
ingesting them.

Happy Boy
February Dog of the Month!

Donations are always welcome and needed!
