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.
Girly
Girly (No family photo available)
These recent adopters came over from Eastern Washington looking for their first greyhound. They have a 6 year old daughter so we had to make sure that a new dog would be ok around kids. They also had their heart set on a girl so that narrowed things down a bit! Fortunately, we did have a sweet girl who fit the bill – a recent arrival from the UK named Girly! – Mike Forrest
Digger
Digger & Family
These adopters came in with a youngster, in this case a 2 1/2 year old boy. We had to make sure that we could find a dog that would be ok with a tiny person around, and we had a few boys to choose from. One guy was a little too shy and nervous, one was a little too excited, but the third did really well and headed off to his new home in BC – another recent UK arrival named Digger! – Mike Forrest
Rosco
Rosco (L) with new Dad Rich, Mom Nancy & sister Edie.
A family came in looking for a new companion for their greyhound Edie who they adopted from GPI last year. Edie is a sweet girl who loves people and other dogs so we wanted to make sure we could find a match for her with the same kind of energy. We introduced them all to a couple of our boys, but it was the first one we tried who really made an impression. He and Edie greeted each other calmly and exchanged play bows before realizing it was a little too hot out for zoomies and deciding to go back to their humans for some pets instead. But I’m sure Edie and our Irish boy Rosco have plenty of zoomies in store now that they’re siblings! – Mike Forrest
Matilda
Matilda, nka Harrie (R), niece Lucy & Mom, Darcy, Penny, fka Kayko.
Another recent adoption was to a long-time greyhound owner looking for a new companion and a friend for her girl Penny who she adopted from GPI 5-years-ago. She had her eye on one perky little Irish girl from the start, and luckily Penny approved! So, they made it official and now Penny and Matilda (now known as Harriet or Harri) are adopted sisters! – Mike Forrest
Rusty
Rusty (R) with new Mom, Eileen and sister, Ibiza.
This adoption was also to a long-time greyhound family going back over 20 years. They lost one of their greyhounds recently and their girl Ibiza missed having a friend around. There are also two cats in the mix so that really narrowed down the choices to one: a very sweet Irish boy named Rusty! – Mike Forrest
