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.
Dyno
Dyno with new Mom, Leslie & new sister, Rachel.
These adopters are a mother & daughter who were looking for a greyhound suitable for apartment living. They previously had a Jack Russell mix but this is their first greyhound. We recently got in a few dogs that could fit the bill, so we had them come in for introductions. One happy four-year-old from the UK worked his magic on them and the only remaining question was whether he’d be comfortable going up and down their stairs. We went on a quick field trip and Dyno conquered the stairs immediately, so now he’s off to his new home! – Mike Forrest
Bernard
Bernard, nka Bernie with new Dad, Rob & Mom, Cleone with IGs, Rose & Lily.
Recently, a couple made the trip down from Canada to find a dog that could get along with two senior Italian Greyhounds. We don’t have a lot of dogs that would fit the bill, but we did at least have a couple to try. The first one that came out introduced himself politely to the IGs and the people and made quite a first impression. Then after some off-leash time and a few belly rubs out in the yard it was clear that gentle Irish boy Bernard, now known as Bernie, would be heading to Canada! – Mike Forrest
Best
Best (R) with new Mom Kristi & Dad John & Prim.
A family of long-time greyhound owners came in looking for a new buddy for their girl Prim. Prim is an active, bouncy little girl so we wanted to make sure we could find a partner who could keep up with her. We introduced them to one girl and several of our boys, and they all did a great job of introducing themselves and showing off their personalities. Things became clearer when we let the dogs loose in the yard – one was a little too preoccupied with chasing balls and another was a little too bossy, but one matched Prim’s temperament really well and they immediately seemed comfortable around each other. So Prim has a new buddy – a bouncy boy from the UK named Best! – Mike Forrest
Copar
Copar with new parents, Trisha & Chris.
We often say that volunteering at GPI is a great way to meet our dogs, and this adoption is no exception! This couple recently lost their first greyhound Gus and started coming to GPI to take our dogs on Brightwater walks. It didn’t take long for them to fall for one of them, so after today’s walk they made it official! It’s our mellow boy from the UK – Copar! – Mike Forrest
