Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Ozzie, Albert, Adonis, Naomi

October 11, 2021

Ozzie

It’s interesting how people go about learning about Greyhounds and making a decision to adopt one. This lady used to come do the Brightwater walks while she lived in Kirkland, but she has continued to come join the group at times even though she now lives in Vancouver, WA. That’s a long haul to walk a dog!! She and her partner came to help with Spa Day and take home their new Greyhound. They saw a lot of girls and then we convinced them they should see at least one boy. They did and you just know that was the dog they took home — Ozzie!!!!!

Albert

This potential adopter did his homework — he went on a couple of Brightwater walks and he did turnout — so he had a good idea of what the dogs were like before he even got to the kennel. He had particularly liked one of the dogs he walked at Brightwater, but he also wanted to meet some of the other possibilities. But, he ended up going home with the dog he had met before and by the time he and Albert walked out the door together, it was pretty obvious that Albert knew he had found his person!

Naomi

This particular dog has had quite a journey to find her new home. She started out in Korea then moved to Kenmore, WA where she moved into a wonderful foster home where she had 5 puppies. She had a difficult delivery and ended up having one puppy naturally and the rest with a C-section. She didn’t miss a beat after the birth and immediately started caring for her puppies — a hard job for her (and her foster mom) which went on for the next 8 weeks. As soon as the puppies were able to be on their own, she started some medical treatments. During the last few weeks of treatment, she moved to another foster home (her original foster mom already had 3 dogs) and found a family that was just as nuts for her as she was for them. Finally all the treatments were done & all the barriers for her adoption were gone. Naomi worked hard to get where she is and we are all so excited that she is in her forever home!!!

Namsha, October Dog of the Month

September 30, 2021

Namsha
Tag No: 6841
Registered Name: None
Breed: Saluki Mix
Date of Birth: Jan 22, 2020
Color: White/Black
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: See Comments
Kid Friendly: See Comments
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Namsha was born in a shelter and was there for over a year before she was pulled. She was in a foster home for several months before she came to GPI. She is a beautiful, upbeat, friendly, affectionate girl. She loves to play ball, with soft toys. She loves walks, paddling in water and being with her people. She loves to meet people. Namsha would do best in a calm environment as she can easily get spun up. With proper introductions she does well with other dogs her size off leash (in a secure area). She was attacked by a larger dog, so is nervous around bigger dogs. Namsha can be a little protective of her things, so she would be best in a home without young children, but she does well around children in public. Namsha will need a home with a fenced yard and without cats.

Namsha needs a sponsor. Could that be you? If interested, see: https://greyhoundpetsinc.org/support/sponsor-a-dog/
