Donna, Ben, Stitch

Join us here as Regional Vice President Kathy Kreyling shares stories from the Adoption Center. Check out our Available Dogs to see who’s still waiting for their forever home.

Donna

Donna, nka Aoife (pronounced ee-fah), with her new family … Alexandra, Claire & Goose

This family knew which dog was of interest to them before they came. But, they had a couple of other things to take into consideration when they were making their decision — namely … their cat and their two year old Coonhound named Goose. We couldn’t do much to find out about how our dog would do with the cat at the kennel, but we could definitely see how Goose would do with her. Even though he was quite a bit younger than our girl, he seemed to understand what she needed and wanted and they got along very nicely. So, our pretty Irish girl, Donna (nka Aoife – pronounced ee-fah), found her new home and gained two new furry buddies.

Ben

Ben with his new parents … Bora & Justin

This couple did their research and knew exactly what dog they wanted when they set up their appointment. They had gone on the Brightwater walks and had a greyt opportunity to see quite a few of the dogs in action and also walk some of them. They felt a connection to and fell in love with our sweet Australian boy, Ben, and it was obvious he felt the same way when they came to pick him up!!! 

Stitch

Stitch (right) with his new mom and sister … Chris and Letty (fka Velvet)

This woman has had quite a few of our Greyhounds through the years. She recently lost one of them and her remaining Lurcher, Letty (fka Velvet), was really having a hard time being alone so it was definitely time to add another family member. When we brought out this striking black boy, we told the lady that this guy was a little on the shy side and might take a few minutes to get his bearings, but, as it frequently happens, he made a liar out of us. He recognized that she was his new mom right away and stayed very focused on her throughout the introduction!! Now, that is how a dog gets adopted!! I don’t know who taught Stitch the ropes, but they did an excellent job!!!

Bob, Emmie, Jack, Peanut, Finley

Join us here as Regional Vice President Kathy Kreyling shares stories from the Adoption Center. Check out our Available Dogs to see who’s still waiting for their forever home.

Bob

Bob (right) with his new family … Mary, Brad and Rainy

This couple adopted their first Greyhound in 2011 and they were “mostly” ready for another one! One member of the family did turnout and found the perfect dog for them so he was really ready. His wife hadn’t done turnout so she needed a little convincing which was easily taken care of the minute the dog put his head in her lap so that she could pat him. However it came about, the couple and their current Greyhound, Rainy, were ready and happy to welcome Bob into his new home!!

Emmie

Emmie, nka Disco, with her new parents Nicholas & Taryn

This couple had to postpone their kennel visit a couple of times so they were very excited to finally come meet their potential family members. They were looking for a girl and we certainly had some fun little girls to show them. All of them put on quite an energetic show and luckily this couple was excited to take on a young bouncy dog. They certainly got one — little Emmie is a 2 year old Greyhound Mix/Lurcher from the Midwest and there is no doubt she will keep them on their toes!! 

Jack

Jack (left) with his new family Dana & Zaki

This lady already has had a couple of our dogs from Dubai and recently lost one of them. Her remaining dog, Zaki, was feeling a little lost without his buddy, so she decided it was time to find him a companion. After looking through our website and meeting a couple of dogs by herself, the owner thought that one of our Irish boys would be a good fit and she was right!! The dogs weren’t best friends immediately, but they were very tuned in to each other and seemed to understand what the other dog needed. We certainly couldn’t ask for much more than that so Jack headed home with his new mom & brother!! 

Peanut

Peanut (right) with his new family … David, Auden, Chelsey & June (fka Shanna)

This adoption involved another Greyhound, June (fka Shanna), and a two and a half year old toddler so we were ready for the process to take a while. We couldn’t have been more wrong. The family had already picked out their favorite dog from our website which just happened to be one of the two dogs we thought would be a good option. When we brought out the dog, it immediately seemed like he was a part of the family. And, after spending time out in the yard, it was completely obvious to everyone that the striking black boy from Ireland, Peanut (nka Macadamia – Mac for short), had found his new home!!

Finley

Finley with her new family … Drake & Tess

This family has had to wait quite a while for the time to be right for them to adopt. So, when everything fell into place, they really moved — they had their home visit yesterday and got their dog today. They were looking for a moderately active dog and we actually had a few dogs that fit that description. Of course, since the family consisted of a mother & son, you could almost bet that they would each be attracted to a different dog and they were! But, thankfully, after some time in the yard with the two contenders, they both agreed that our little black girl, Finley, was the one for them!!

Please contact Moira Corrigan ([email protected]) for more information about Sarah.

Sarah
Tag No: 6878
Registered Name: None
Breed: Greyhound Lurcher
Date of Birth:  Approx Sept 2018
Color: White
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: No
Kid Friendly: Unknown
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments:  Sarah is delightful!   She LOVES belly rubs!!  She also loves to run and play.  She is a fun, happy girl.  Sarah likes to be active and would make a great running partner.  Sarah came to us from South Korea.  She is quite acrobatic and can scale a 6 foot fence.  She does fine with our 8 foot chain link fences at the kennel, but she will likely have to go into an apartment/condo/townhome type home.  Sarah would like to be the only apple of your eye.

George, Breanna, Crystal, Buster

Join us here as Regional Vice President Kathy Kreyling shares stories from the Adoption Center. Check out our Available Dogs to see who’s still waiting for their forever home.

George

George with his new mom, Shelley

When this Lady gave us a description of the dog she would like to get, the first thing she said was that she wanted a “goofy” dog. We immediately knew which dog would be going home with her! We did show her a few different options, but she fell in love with our goofiest guy — a darling black guy from Australia named George!! 

Breanna 

Breanna with her new parents, Sam & Elizabeth

This couple was looking for a girl and, even though we didn’t have a lot of girls, we sure had some special ones for them to meet. And, just for fun, we also showed them a few boys. They had narrowed their choices down to two girls and one boy, but after time in the yard, it was down to just the two girls. Really, it was almost impossible for any of the dogs to compete with this dog — she had the softest bunny fur we have encountered in quite a while (with the exception of her sister’s whose fur was just a touch softer). The couple left with Breanna and my guess is that they haven’t stopped patting her yet!! 

Crystal

Crystal, nka Lily, with her new parents, Paul & Sydney, and her new fur buddies, Winston & Iggy

When someone comes in with 2 small dogs, Italian Greyhounds in this case, we know that we are going to be showing quite a few dogs in order to find the “small dog friendly” ones. That is exactly what happened and, in all the dogs we showed, we only came across 2 that we felt were solid possibilities. And, truthfully, one of them screened herself out because she was just a little too interested in the Iggies when we went outside. With all that being said, this couple really lucked out because they ended up with a dog that was a big time “kennel favorite”. This wonderful fawn girl from Australia was incredibly gentle with the small dogs and, in fact, most of the time she didn’t even pay any attention to them. Crystal, nka Lily, will be a greyt addition to the family!!! 

Buster

Buster with his new parents, Jason & Laura

This couple has been through a lot in the last couple of months. They moved here from Chicago and shortly thereafter had to send their Greyhound to the Bridge (he had lung cancer for a long time). Hopefully, the stress and sadness of the last couple of months is behind them and they can go forward with their new family member — that very handsome black boy from Ireland, Buster!!
