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.
Rumble
Rumble nka Edith, Dad, Ron & Wort fka Cannon (White & Black).
This adopter brought in his 9-year-old greyhound boy Wort looking for a new companion. Wort was very cooperative and got along with all the dogs we introduced, so it came down to a difficult choice between a brindle boy and a blue girl. After some time in the yard it became clear that Wort was going to go home with a new girlfriend – UK girl Rumble, now known as Edith! – Mike Forrest
Margo
Margo, nka Sadie with Mom Lisa & Dad Michael & Winston.
These recent adopters are long-time GPI volunteers and previously had a greyhound. They currently have a smaller mix named Winston who started life in Mexico. Winston can have a hard time meeting new dogs, so it was important to first get him used to that before meeting potential siblings. So, they worked with our trainer and went on group walks with a couple of our volunteers and their greyhounds, and Winston started to do much better. He was eventually ready to meet some new greyhounds, and did really well with a sweet, friendly 4 year old girl that the family had taken on Brightwater walks. Today they made it official and Margo, now known as Sadie, joined their pack! – Mike Forrest
Turnip
Turnip with new mom, Danielle.
This adopter recently lost her first greyhound and decided it was time to find a new companion. She lives downtown and likes to go on long walks so we wanted to make sure to match her up with a hound that could keep up. I think she picked a good one – our big Australian boy Turnip! – Mike Forrest
Amelia

These next adopters came in looking for their first greyhound, and one that would like hanging out with dad at work at a local brewery. As you would imagine this might be a challenge for many of our dogs, but I think they found one who will thrive with the extra attention. She had a rough go of things in South Korea where she was found with a badly broken leg. Our friends at Team Inch picked her up and got her the medical attention she needed, including putting in a plate to repair the fractures. She finished her long recovery with us here at GPI, and since she’s such a sweet affectionate girl who loves to give everybody hugs we knew it wouldn’t take long for her to be adopted. So congratulations to Amelia and her new family! – Mike Forrest
