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.
Maia
Maia nka Lina (short for Topolina, a small mouse in Italian) with Mom Deb, Daughter Gina & Dad, Chris.
Lately it’s been a busy time for our Australian hounds – two have headed off to their forever homes! Our first adoption was to a family that has been volunteering at GPI and waiting for the right dog to come along. The girl they adopted is a gentle blue girl who won over pretty much everybody at the kennel who met her. Congratulations to Australian girl Maia, now known as Lina, and her new family! – Mike Forrest
Hugo
Hugo with Mom Shelley, Sister Laine & Dad Glen.
These adopters made the trip down from the Vancouver area to meet some of our hounds. They have not had a greyhound before, but their neighbor does and apparently is a great ambassador! We introduced several of our greyhounds and mixes, but one made it very clear that he was going to go home with them: our remarkably easy-going Australian boy Hugo! – Mike Forrest
Storm
Storm (L) with new Dad, Jeremy & Rocket.
This adopter made the trip up from the Portland area with his four year old greyhound boy Rocket. They recently lost two senior packmates at the ages of 13 and 14 and Rocket needed a new buddy. The dog that they chose just happens to be our April Dog of the Month, and he’s a happy, fun guy who we think will also greatly benefit from having another greyhound to hang out with. Congratulations to Irish boy Storm and his new family! – Mike Forrest
Candy
Candy nka Shiloh with new Mom & Dad Terri and Tim.
These recent adopters came in looking for a dog that could get along with their two cats. They have not had sighthounds before, but are experienced dog people. The dog that they were interested in was a very shy girl from Bahrain, and it took a lot of coaxing just to get her to introduce herself. Fortunately this family has experience with shy dogs and they have a seemingly bottomless supply of patience and love so they were willing to do whatever it took to make her feel at home. She has made incredible progress since she moved into her new home and has been steadily gaining confidence. So congratulations to Candy, now known as Shiloh, on officially joining her new pack! – Mike Forrest
