Mega, Rock

Mega

Mega with part of his new family — Kevin and Jude

This is a greyt example of how the publicity we do can work. Last week, one of pictures from the Bright Water walk was on Facebook. A family that already has a couple of our dogs saw the dog and fell in love with this guy. They debated about whether they should come meet him because they knew that if they did, they would adopt him (and they already have 3 Greyhounds). It went just the way they thought it would — they met Mega and made the decision to adopt him right away!!!  

Rock

Rock with his new parents, Jason & Amelie

This couple recently lost their wonderful Greyhound boy and they have been missing that Greyhound presence in their home. They still have lots of love to give and they were ready to give it to another Grey. So, they came to the kennel with a list of wonderful dogs they would like to see and they had a wonderful time oooing and aahing over each dog. But they knew they could only take one and even though it was difficult to rule out the others, they decided on our very handsome, red brindle boy with the wonderful helicopter tail — Rock!!!

Max, Gomer

Max

Max, left, with his new family … Lisa, Doug & Larissa

This couple has been volunteering with GPI for quite a while and have had the opportunity to get to know the dogs better while they are working with them. The wife walks and helps train the dogs and she got to know one of our special boys during that time. She wanted to make him part of the family but she had 2 hurdles she needed to clear — convincing her husband that their current dog, Larissa, needed a playmate and making sure that Larissa would get along with the new addition. She was successful on both fronts and that cleared the way for Max to become a part of the family!!!  

Gomer

Gomer, nka Theo, with his new family … Ashley, Garrett & Martin

There is some truth to the saying that someone was in the right place at the right time. The question in this case is who was in the right place at the right time — the couple or the dog or both? This particular dog came back to us yesterday from the Portland area because he was living with two old Italian Greyhounds who were bullying him and he never did anything to retaliate, just put up with it. The owners felt he would have a happier life in a different place. Then, a couple from Southern Washington arrived  to meet dogs and they just happened to have a 6 year old Italian Greyhound. We introduced everybody and everybody got along very well so Gomer, nka Theo, was on his way south with his new family!!!

Meet Draft: April Dog of the Month

Draft is looking for his forever home.  Could that be with you and your family?

Please contact Moira Corrigan for more information and/or questions about Draft.
Draft
Tag No: 6410
Registered Name: Draft King
Breed: Greyhound
Date of Birth: Sept 2, 2015
Color: Brindle/White
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Ok with greyhounds, No small dogs
Kid Friendly: No
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Draft is a big, handsome boy. He likes to be the center everything and is curious about everything. Draft is eager to please and wants to be around you. He takes treats gently and loves to be a good boy. His only issue is his bed as he is uncomfortable with anyone coming near while he is laying down, but some barriers around his bed work really well. He can get a little excited and then wants to jump, but his foster home is working with him on this. Draft should not be in a home with cats, small dogs or children. He would likely do well in a home with another confident dog. Draft's foster mom and our behaviourist are working with him and he is a star!!! He is learning a number of commands and techniques. Draft will need a home who can continue to practice the techniques he is learning. Draft's adoption includes four training sessions with Crawford Canine Connection.

Griffin, Riser, Leia, Nine

Griffin

Griffin, left, with his new family … William, Chandra, Josh & Winston

The next family needed a new friend for their 7 year old Grey, Winston. Winston met a few of our dogs and he actually narrowed the list of dogs down which really helped his owners! When he got a chance to play with the dogs outside, he had fun with a couple of them, but he had the most fun with one brindle boy and the family decided that Griffin would be the best addition to their family!!! 

Riser

Riser (right) with his new family … Amy, Cole & Phoebe

This couple had come looking for a dog for the same reason we have seen so often lately — they had recently lost a dog and the remaining one, Phoebe, was in need of a fur buddy. They came with a list of dogs to meet and we noticed pretty quickly that they had asked to see our young, peppy dogs. Thankfully, they weren’t “faint of heart” — they were ready for pretty much everything that goes with adopting a young, strong boy. They narrowed the list to two dogs and then had a devil of a time picking one, but they ultimately decided their hearts belonged to Riser!!   

Leia

Leia with her new parents Carter & Tom

When people come to the kennel to find a new addition to their family, they often come with a very clear idea of what characteristics they hope to find in their new dog. And, it is not unusual for them to go home with a completely different dog than they were expecting. This couple did just that. We showed them quite a few dogs and I think they knew when they met their future dog, but it took a while for them to realize she was exactly what they needed. Thankfully, they decided that Miss Leia from South Korea was the perfect fit for them and before they left, she had already made it pretty clear she was going to be Daddy’s little girl!! 

Nine

Nine with his new parents Dan & Rebecca

Sometimes people are overwhelmed by the idea of taking home a dog, if they haven’t had one for a while, and they have to take some time to get themselves mentally and emotionally ready to have a new addition. This couple knew which dog they wanted and had no doubts that he was the right dog, they just had to get used to the idea of what it would be like to have a big dog (even though their previous dogs were labs) and as soon as they cleared that hurdle, they knew they couldn’t wait to finalize their adoption of Nine!!
