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.
Miracle
Here is Miracle nka Mira and New Mom, Melina.
This adoption was to a family in Oregon that has fostered and adopted many sighthounds over the years. They have a 12 year old Italian Greyhound and an 11 year old Chihuahua/Min Pin mix and have been searching for another little one to add to their pack. So, when they saw that an Italian Greyhound girl named Miracle from South Korea had arrived, they were quick to get in touch. Miracle, now known as Mira, didn’t take much convincing to fit right into her new pack. Congratulations to all! – Mike Forrest
Ringo
Here’s Ringo, nka Moses, new Mom Karin with Sisters Ciara fka Cooler (L) & Vali fka Kiki (R).
This adoption was an international affair. This Saluki/Canaan Dog mix boy came over from Bahrain last year along with his two brothers, and it took a while for him to settle and start trusting people. He gradually gained confidence working with our staff and volunteers, and later in the year a family got in touch and offered to foster him along with their two GPI greyhounds. He settled right into his new foster home and learned a lot about the world from his new family and greyhound sisters. He did so well that he quickly became part of their pack, and this weekend they realized that he had found his forever home all along. Congratulations to Ringo, now known as Moses, his sisters Ciara and Vali, and the rest of his new family! – Mike Forrest
Rusty
Rusty (R) with new parents, Leslie and Dave with sister, Ember (L).
This recent adoption was to a family that is no stranger to GPI – they are regular volunteers and this is their 18th GPI greyhound! This 7 year old boy was sadly returned to us when his owner passed away. It took him a little while to adjust and he was showing signs of separation anxiety. He met his new mom & dad during turnout one evening, and they offered to foster him and see how he got along with their greyhound Ember. He settled in pretty quickly and Ember approved, so they decided to make it official! Congratulations to Rusty and his new family! – Mike Forrest
Elmo
Elmo (R) with new Dad, Cameron & new IG Brother, Henri (L).
We recently received two Italian Greyhounds from South Korea, one of which was adopted a few weeks ago. The other one is a friendly, energetic little guy who unfortunately lost a leg to an injury. But that hasn’t slowed him down at all. That’s good because he now has an IG brother named Henri to play with! Congratulations to Elmo and his new family! – Mike Forrest
Amor
Amor (L), new family Jude, Kevin Tate & Amy, Mega (Fawn) & Babe (R).
This family of four has adopted from us several times, and currently have two of our hounds (Babe and Mega) plus a third from a different group (Peyton). So, they came in looking for hound #4 to add to their sizable pack. We introduced several pups and they all did great with the other dogs and the kids. But it was the last guy we introduced, a 3 year old who raced in West Virginia, who stole the show. He was great with the other dogs and made sure to spend time introducing himself to each of his new humans. So, it didn’t take long for them to decide to bring home Amor
