Join us here as our Adoption Representatives share stories from the Adoption Center. Check out our Available Dogs to see who’s still waiting for their forever home.
Benny
Here’s Benny (L) with Trent and Sheila with JD.
These adopters are GPI volunteers who adopted one of our dogs (JD) several years ago. JD needed a buddy so they’ve been keeping an eye out for possibilities while doing kennel turnout. One night they met a boy who had just recently been returned to GPI due to a change in his family situation. One thing led to another, and now he’s adopted! The hardest part for them might be telling JD and his new buddy Benny apart! – Mike Forrest
Amber
Amber nka Ember with Dave and Leslie.
We’ve had a few adoptions recently by long-time GPI volunteers, and this is another one to add to the list. This is #17 for this couple who recently lost their Bitzer at the age of 13. While doing kennel turnout they met a sweet older Irish girl and quickly got in touch with us about bringing her home. She had to stay with us for a couple of weeks while she recovered from some minor toe surgery, but it was worth the wait and Amber, now known as Ember, is settling right in with them and their other senior greyhound Ranger! – Mike Forrest
Rebel
Rebel (R) with new family, Nicole & Doug & Del (brindle)
A couple made a 5-hour drive down from Canada with their senior greyhound Del looking for a new companion. Their other greyhound Chrissy passed away in January at the age of 14. Del is a pretty chill guy, and they were looking for a dog with a matching temperament. We had a couple to show and both of them did really well with Del and the family. They had a hard time deciding, but eventually picked two-year-old Irish boy Rebel! – Mike Forrest
Plato
Plato with his new Dan and Mom, Mike & Dianna.
These recent adopters made the trip over from Whidbey Island to meet some of our dogs. This is their first greyhound. They have previously had Border Collies but decided that a less energetic breed might be a better fit for them this time around! They got to meet several of our boys who all put on a great show for them, but it was a handsome dark brindle boy that won them over – Plato! – Mike Forrest
Beth
Beth (R) with her new Dad & Mom, Mike & Moira with Make(brindle) & Chief (black)
We often say that the best way to meet our greyhounds is to come volunteer at the kennel. These adopters certainly take that to heart! Congratulations to GPI’s President and her family on their new addition: Beth, rescued by Team Inch in South Korea! – Mike Forrest
