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

Edie

Edie with new Dad & Mom Rich & Nancy & Strider, the German Shepherd.

These adopters came in looking for a companion for themselves and their 12-year-old German Shepherd named Strider. They previously had a greyhound and came to us for another. The girl they chose had been returned to us because of a bad case of separation anxiety, but that hopefully won’t be an issue now since her new mom & dad both work from home and like to take the dogs RV’ing. Plus she will now have a new BIG brother to keep her company (see photo!) Congratulations to Edie and her new family! – Mike Forrest

Kale

Kale with her new mom & dad, Karen & Steven.

These recent adopters have adopted four greyhounds from GPI over the past several decades but did not have any currently. They are both retired now and looking for a new greyhound companion. As previous greyhound owners they had a pretty good idea of what they were looking for so we were able to narrow the list down. The dog that chose them put on a great show when she came out to meet them – now our sweet Australian girl Kale has a new home! – Mike Forrest

Tully

Tully with Boo (dog), Joey, Mom Denise, Elena & Dad Tony.

This family are also long-time greyhound owners, having had six over the years. Their current girl Boo who they’ve had for about four years seemed a little lonely after they lost their other girl Cali, so they came in looking for a new family member and companion. We introduced them to several of our greyhounds, and I think Boo was a little worn out by the process! But fortunately, she got along great with our big boy and champion leaner from Australia: Tully! – Mike Forrest 

Domino

Domino with new Mom & Dad, Mary & Bob.

These adopters have had four of our greyhounds, with their last one passing away at age 13 a couple of months ago. We talked over a lot of the options for dogs we have right now and introduced them to a couple that sounded promising. One big boy really caught their eye and made a great first impression, so after some quality time with him in the yard they decided to make it official and adopt our handsome 80lb puppy Domino! – Mike Forrest

Liba, Billy, Olive, Blossom, Diego

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.

Liba

Liba, nka Poppi, (Right) with her new family, Dad Bill & Brother Jake, with Skubi fka Scooby (Left) and Svengamin fka Sven (Middle)

These adopters have been on the lookout for a smaller dog for quite some time. They’ve had retired racer Skubi (fka Scooby) for several years, and then adopted Sven (now Svengamin Buttons) from us back in January. When they saw that a small senior girl had come into our care they knew they had to meet her. It didn’t take very long for her to fit right into the pack with Skubi, Sven, and the rest of the family. So now it’s official and little Liba has a new home! – Mike Forrest

Billy

Billy with his new family, Andrey, Anastasia & Sasha.

These adopters are a family with a 10 year old daughter who has wanted a dog for a couple of years, and who has even been saving up her allowance to pay the adoption fee! This is their first family dog, and they got to meet a bunch of greyhounds and mixes on a walk at Brightwater. The dog that seemed like a natural fit for them is a sweet, fun boy who came to us via Team Inch from South Korea – it’s Billy! – Mike Forrest

Olive

Olive with her new family, Melissa, Marcus & Dameon.

Our next family recently lost their coonhound and came in looking for a smaller family dog. They have two teenagers so they should have no problem keeping an active, younger dog entertained. They got to meet a couple of our smaller pups, but quickly narrowed it down to one playful girl who also came to us from South Korea via Team Inch: Olive! – Mike Forrest

Blossom

Blossom (Right) with new mom & dad, Mark & Julia with Reggie fka Ryo (Left) & Coop.

These recent adopters came in with their greyhound Reggie (fka Ryo) and Australian cattle dog Coop looking for a new member of their pack. They have had several greyhounds before so they had a good idea of what they were looking for, and just needed to make sure that they got along with Coop & Reggie. We introduced them to a few of our girls, and quickly found one who seemed to have the right energy level to keep up with Coop. After some introductions & play time outside we all came back in and she and Reggie both laid down on the rug while we were doing paperwork, with Coop keeping an eye on things. I think our Irish girl Blossom will have a great time with her new family! – Mike Forrest

Diego

Diego nka Loki with new mom, Anne (Right), new dad, Lloyd with Rock (Left) & Lilly on dog bed.

These next adopters are two of our long-time volunteers. They have had a pack of three greyhounds for a while, but sadly lost one of them earlier this year. They have been waiting and keeping an eye out for the right hound to come along, and sure enough he did! And from what I’ve heard, Irish brindle boy Diego, now known as Loki, is fitting right in with his new pack mates, Lily and Rock!
