greyhound

Mili, Amber, Jewel, Prince

October 7, 2024

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

Kim: October Dog of the Month

October 1, 2024

kimtitlehalloween
Please contact Greyhound Pets, Inc. Woodinville ([email protected]) for more information about Kim.

Kim

Tag No: 7011
Registered Name: None
Breed: Saluki Mix
Date of Birth:  December 2021
Color: Tan/Black
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Ok with greyhounds
Kid Friendly: See Comments
Weight:  40 pounds
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments:  Kim is fun, friendly and very sweet.  She loves to play ball!  She is so eager to please.  Kim loves car rides and is a dream in a car - just lies down and curls up.  Kim had been very sensitive to noises and new things, but (thanks to the folks in California) has been through a 6 week board and train program and knows a lot of commands and has adapted well to new things and sounds.  While she loves to run and play, she also loves to snuggle and hang with you.  We are working on her leash manners and greeting of strangers, and they are improving.  We think she would do fine as an only dog and may even do ok in an apartment as long as she is given some run time in a secure area.  If she gets really excited she can get a little nippy, so she may not do well with young children.  But it is easy to distract her and remind her of her manners.  She came to us from Mexico, via California.

Bailey, Ryan, Frenchy, Liliana, Bobby

September 16, 2024

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.

Bailey

Bailey with new Dad, Eric.

This adopter recently lost his greyhound Hero and came down from Vancouver BC looking for a new companion. Hero was a therapy dog, and we wanted to find a hound that might be able to continue doing that wonderful work. That really narrowed down the choices, but it was the first one who really showed off his gentle, patient nature. So, our 4-year-old English boy Bailey is now a Canadian! – Mike Forrest

Ryan

Ryan with new parents, Scott and Lesa. 

This adoption has been a while coming, as his new mom & dad have been working with him as a foster for the last couple of months. They have since learned all his quirks and he has been adjusting really well to his new home, protecting them from the mean squirrels that live in the tree in their yard and making sure they’re never alone on the couch. So today they officially adopted Ryan (aka Rye), and I’m told they had a special dinner and treats to celebrate!

Frenchy

Frenchy with new parents, Cheryl & Matt & Henry, friend’s dog.

Another recent adoption is to a family that lost their previous greyhound last year. They frequently dog sit for a friend so we wanted to find a hound that could get along with an older, smaller dog. We introduced a bunch of hounds but pretty quickly narrowed it down to two who both did really well with Henry. It was really tough to decide between the two, but they went with our happy two-year-old lurcher girl Frenchy! – Mike Forrest

Liliana

Liliana (black/white) with new parents, James & Susie with Bird (Terrier mix) & Buns (Lurcher).

These adopters came in with two smaller dogs in tow: an 11 year old lurcher named Buns and a 13 year old terrier mix named Bird. We never know how our hounds will react to that but fortunately we were able to find a couple that did really well. The girl they chose to join their pack was a little on the shy side at first, and very sweet and polite with the other dogs. So, congratulations to our 1 1/2 year old lurcher Liliana and her new family! – Mike Forrest

Bobby

Bobby with new Dad and Mom, Kyle and Janelle.

These recent adopters came in looking for their first dog as a family. They have met greyhounds at events and other places but have never had one of their own. They came in with a list of dogs they wanted to see, and we added a couple as well. The way it worked out we ended up bringing out a parade of five black greyhounds in a row! Somehow, they were able to keep them all straight in their head and narrowed down the list to a boy and a girl. Both did a great job of introducing themselves, but it was the boy’s attentive personality that won them over in the end. Congratulations to 3 1/2 year old Bobby from Australia and his new family! – Mike Forrest

Sparrow, Zion, Libby, Tip Top, Sally

September 7, 2024

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.

Sparrow

Sparrow with her new Mom, Mindy.

This adopter has had many greyhounds over the years but was currently without a canine companion. She came in looking for a girl who could eventually work as a therapy dog and attend greyhound meet & greet events. We introduced all of the girls who fit the bill, but it was the first one she met who stole the show with her mellow demeanor and some good leans! Congratulations to 3 1/2 year old Sparrow from Australia on finding her new mom! – Mike Forrest

Zion

Here’s Zion, nka Green Bean Casserole, Green Bean, for short, with new parents, Evan and Haley.

This adoption took a while because we had a long wait to get the pup in to see an eye doctor before he could be adopted. But during that wait two different families were kind enough to foster him. And he must have done something right because that second family has decided to keep him! Congratulations to them and 4 1/2 year old Zion, now known as Green Bean Casserole (or Green Bean for short)! – Mike Forrest

Libby

Libby, nka Lile,(L) Dad Jacob & Mom Joy, with sister Seaghdha fka Sally.

These adopters brought home their first greyhound a little over a year ago. She’s a 7-year-old Irish girl named Seaghdha (formerly Sally). They recently moved into a new home with a big yard and decided that it was time to start looking for a second greyhound. They came in and met several of the dogs, and there was one that Seaghdha seemed to do particularly well with. So, it was no surprise that they decided to bring her home – this time it’s a 4-year-old English girl named Libby, who now goes by Lile! – Mike Forrest 

Tip Top and Sally

Sally nka, Bear,(L) parents Grant, Jade & Daughter, Olivia, & Tip Top nka Oakley (R).

This family has previously had four greyhounds and a whippet mix, but not for many years. They volunteered at the kennel doing turnout, and fell for one of our English girls – 4-year-old Tip Top. But they also decided that they wanted to bring home TWO greyhounds, so our task was to find a good match. We narrowed down the list pretty quickly and Tip Top decided she’d be happy with a 6 1/2 year old Irish girl named Sally. So, congratulations to all of them! Tip Top is now known as Oakley, and her new sister Sally is going by Bear. (This is Tip Top, nka Oakley)

Rey: September Dog of the Month

September 1, 2024

Please contact Greyhound Pets, Inc. Woodinville ([email protected]) for more information about Rey.

Rey

Tag No: 6931
Registered Name: None
Breed: Greyhound Lurcher
Date of Birth:  Approx October 2018
Color: Brindle
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Ok with greyhounds, No small dogs

Comments:  Rey is delightful and upbeat.  She is very playful and friendly - she absolutely adores people.  Rey loves to give hugs and get belly rubs.  Rey can come out the gate strong (she is a strong girl), but she soon calms with some clear guidance.  She is eager to learn, and our trainers are working with her - smart girl!!!  Rey would do best in an active home with no small dogs, cats or young children.

Sponsored by Carla and Bill Rogers, in memory of Gracie

Rey would love to have a sponsor while she waits to be adopted.  If this interests you, please see this link for more info:  https://www.greyhoundpetsinc.org/support/sponsor-a-dog/
