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.
Timmy and Lale
Lale (L) & Timmy (R) with parents, Toby & Stephanie with Reggie, Sid & Harvey & Husky mix, Loki
A family of five came in with their husky/Samoyed mix Loki looking for a new addition. They previously adopted a greyhound girl named Lady from us in 2019 when the kids were a lot smaller. They were looking for a new companion for Loki, and one who could manage being in a home with three active boys. We had a few candidates to introduce, and they all did really well with the kids and Loki which didn’t really help narrow down the choices. After some time in the yard and a family discussion they decided that instead of picking one of the dogs they’d take TWO: a laid back red 2 1/2 year old from Australia named Timmy, and a bouncy nearly two-year old US girl named Lale!

Rivers
Rivers with her new Mom Lauren & new Dad, Jackson.
These adopters are an experienced greyhound family, but did not have one currently. They came in to meet a bunch of our dogs, and after some deliberation narrowed things down to a couple of possibilities. One of the two that caught their eye was a girl who for whatever reason decided she was too shy to come over to them for pets, but was still happy enough to show off her playful side out in the yard zooming around them and playing with a ball. Well, despite her initial hesitation she must have made a good impression because they came back today to work with her and our trainer for a while and then brought her home with them! Congratulations to our lurcher girl Rivers and her new family! – Mike Forrest
Sally

This family, including a regular GPI volunteer, has been waiting for a dog who could live with their cats, chickens, and senior Klee Kai, and their patience paid off! We recently received six dogs from Ireland, and this perky little 3 1/2 year old girl passed our cat testing with flying colors. It was a couple of weeks before she was ready to go home and yesterday was the big day – congratulations to Sally and her new pack! – Mike Forrest
