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.
Lizzy
Lizzy with new Mom & Dad, Jana & Todd.
This adoption has been a long time coming, in more ways than one. The adopters first met this girl over a month ago on a trip to our area from their home in BC, Canada. They lost their greyhound Mika in March and wanted to meet some dogs to see if they were ready to bring home a new pup. After thinking about it over the weekend they decided they had met their next girl and reached out to us to get the adoption process started. This past month has been a little crazy due to some upcoming policy changes for moving dogs across the US/Canada border (which have thankfully been rescinded!) so we had to scramble to get her paperwork updated. She’s a real world traveler now too, having come to us from South Korea via Team Inch just over two years ago. But finally – on her new dad’s birthday – they made the trip back down to pick up a very happy, fun girl who is definitely ready for her forever home: Lizzy! And a special thanks today to all the wonderful trainers and volunteers who have been working with Lizzy since she arrived. She has come so far! – Mike Forrest
Jolene
Jolene (black) with new Mom & Dad, Nancy & Rich with sister, Edie.
These recent adopters were looking for a buddy for their six-year-old greyhound Edie. She seems to get along with everybody but can get a little overwhelmed if other dogs come on too strong. Based on that we thought we might have a good match for her, and it was pretty clear right from the start that Edie agreed! So, congratulations to her and her mom & dad on welcoming Jolene to their family! – Mike Forrest
Dooly
Dooly with new Mom, Liz.
This adopter has had several of our greyhounds over the years, including two seniors who sadly passed away earlier this year. She heard about one of our recent arrivals and thought he might be a great fit, but we needed to make sure he’d get along with a couple of Westies who will sometimes share office space with him. Sure enough, the introductions went great, and now 4 year old Dooly has a new family and two new office buddies! – Mike Forrest
June Bug
June Bug nka Inca (L) with new family, Chris & Margaret with sister, Topaz (fka Chase).
These adopters are frequent volunteers at GPI and adopted their girl Topaz (fka Chase) from us back in January. They felt that it was time to add a second greyhound to their home and started looking for a potential match. They brought Topaz to our meet & greet event in Redmond, and while there they met one of our adoptable dogs. She and Topaz hit it off immediately and so after some further introductions they made things official today. Topaz has a new sister named Inca (formerly June Bug)! – Mike Forrest
