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.
Max
Max with new Mom & Dad, Deidra & Nick.
A couple made the trip up from the Portland area to find a hound
companion. This is their first dog together and they came in with an open mind looking for the right fit. The kennel is completely full which means there are a lot to choose from! We introduced a number of pups including some recent arrivals from the UK. They quickly narrowed it down to two of our boys and spent some time out in the yard with each of them. And soon after they headed home with Max, a bouncy, happy 3-year-old boy from England! – Mike Forrest
Sophie
Sophie with new mom, Abbey.
This family previously adopted a senior greyhound from us, but he sadly passed away a couple of months ago. So, it was time to find a new companion. The new pup would need to get along with Samson the Goldendoodle who also lives in the home. Samson was used to having a lazy senior greyhound around and proved to not be interested in meeting our bouncier, more energetic pups. But one girl that we introduced was very polite and Samson approved. She also showed off her friendly, affectionate nature which got the human seal of approval as well. So, congratulations to our 4-year-old Australian girl Sophie and her new family! – Mike Forrest
Nova
Nova with new family, Lionel & Gwen, Mom Hannah and Dad Yu
A family of four came in looking for a new greyhound companion. Their previous GPI hound Lady Wallace passed away last year at the age of 12. We have plenty of pups to choose from right now, so the challenge was to find one that would do well with a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old in the house. We introduced several of our Irish and English hounds to see how they’d do, and they all were pretty good with the kids in the adoption center. But when we got outside into the yard one English girl very quickly decided that running and screaming kids were nothing to worry about and were actually kind of fun to follow around. So, it didn’t take long for them to decide that Nova was going to come home with them! – Mike Forrest
Cody
Cody (R) with new Dad Sean & Mom Lani & Greyhound brother, Roman (L).
A couple came in recently with their four year old greyhound Roman who originally came from Australia. They are new to the area and were looking for a companion for Roman who has some separation anxiety. Roman is a pretty calm guy (except for some brief zoomies out in the yard) and got along with all of the hounds that we introduced, so it was up to mom & dad to decide. And it ended up that the first dog they asked to see was the one they brought home – our 4 1/2 year old Irish boy Cody!
