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.
Mili
Mili with new family, Sierra, Erica Lonnie & Rachel & Koko, mini poodle.
This adoption has been in the works for a while. The family first met some of our dogs back in May, but the main challenge was that they have a 4-year-old miniature poodle named Koko, and Koko was pretty barky around the other dogs. Plus, Koko is pretty tiny! So, a few months later after some training sessions with Koko, a new batch of dogs in the kennel, and some time volunteering for turnout they were ready to try again. During turnout they met a cute lurcher girl they thought might get along with Koko, and they were right! After some more introductions they brought her home, and today they made it official – congratulations to Mili and her new pack! – Mike Forrest
Amber
Amber with her new family, Debbie, Matthew & Abbie.
This family has adopted greyhounds from GPI twice before. They lost their girl Jacqui in July and were ready to bring home a new companion. This time around they were open to meeting some “spicier” dogs that need some extra training, so we gladly introduced many of our more rambunctious pups. They managed to narrow things down to two of our South Korean girls and worked with our trainer to learn more about their needs. It ended up being a tough decision, but they brought home a very cute, bouncy girl named Amber! – Mike Forrest
Jewel
Jewel with her new family, Joe, Charlotte & Rebekah.
These recent adopters came in looking for their first family dog together. They met some greyhounds at one of our meet & greet events a couple of years ago and have been waiting for the right time to adopt. Well today was the right time! The family includes an 11-year-old girl, so we wanted to make sure that we found a good match for her as well as mom & dad. We introduced a few of our hounds but it was the last one that came out that really made an impression on them. She is a happy, social pup and did a wonderful job of showing that she would make a great addition to their family. Congratulations to Jewel and her new pack! – Mike Forrest
Prince
Prince with new parents, Robbie & Rebecca.
Recently, a couple traveled down from Vancouver looking for a new companion. They lost their previous greyhound Penelope last year and were eager to meet some more recent retirees. We introduced five dogs, and they all did so well introducing themselves, I wasn’t sure how they were going to choose! But one of them stood out with some leans and more than a few kisses, and he must have convinced them that he was ready to go home with them. Congratulations to our UK boy Prince and his new family! – Mike Forrest
