GPI has an unbelievable group of people that support it and whenever we are in need of something, all we need to do is put it out to our supporters and they come through for us. In this particular situation, we had a dog that was losing his eyesight and needed a family that had another dog and was willing to help and support him through the years to come. We were so fortunate that a family stepped forward and they had everything he needed and that we wanted for him. He clicked almost instantly with his parents and his brother to be, Obie. It was especially evident when he started to follow Obie around as soon as they were off leash out in the yard. He has been in a foster-to-adopt situation for a while so we could all make sure that was the best place for him. Thankfully, it is and Ford, nka Wallace/Wally, officially has his new home and we are all so thrilled for him!!!

Tula

Tula with her new family … Kathy, Sheryl, Mike, Chad & Eric

Next a family came looking for a companion for their mother and we knew almost immediately that we had the perfect dog for her. This dog had just come back because she just didn’t fit in where she was. She was in need of a place where she could be the special dog and didn’t have to share attention with anyone else. Well, she found it!! This family fell for her immediately and she is the center of their universe. Hooray for Tula!!

TJ, Vanilla, Derringer

Join us here each Monday as Regional Vice President Kathy Kreyling shares stories from the Adoption Center. Check out our Available Dogs to see who’s still waiting for their forever home.

These adoptions both have something in common. They both had to return dogs and then ended up adopting other dogs that had been returned because the home they were in wasn’t working for one reason or another.

TJ

TJ, nka Elliot, with his new parents Chris and Elizabeth

The first couple needed a dog that would do well in an apartment in a busy part of Bellevue. We actually would not have thought this particular dog would do okay in an apartment because he was so active at the kennel so we wouldn’t have showed him to these people. However, because the first owner told us how quiet and easy he was, we introduced him to this couple and they hit it off right away. So, it was no surprise that TJ went home with them and is doing very well!! 

Vanilla and Derringer

Vanilla (nka Nilla)
Derringer (nka Jake) 

The next family wanted to eventually get two dogs who would do well with all 3 generations that live in the home. Since there is almost always someone home & they have a wide variety of ages and activity levels in the home, it seemed to all of us that their home would be a greyt place for some dogs that had separation anxiety. Luckily, it worked out and Derringer (nka Jake) and Vanilla (nka Nilla) are having lots of fun with each other and their new family! (No family photo)
