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
Kid Friendly: No young children
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
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/

Lizzy, Jolene, Dooly, June Bug

August 28, 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.

Lizzy

Lizzy with new Mom & Dad, Jana & Todd.

This adoption has been a long time coming, in more ways than one. The adopters first met this girl over a month ago on a trip to our area from their home in BC, Canada. They lost their greyhound Mika in March and wanted to meet some dogs to see if they were ready to bring home a new pup. After thinking about it over the weekend they decided they had met their next girl and reached out to us to get the adoption process started. This past month has been a little crazy due to some upcoming policy changes for moving dogs across the US/Canada border (which have thankfully been rescinded!) so we had to scramble to get her paperwork updated. She’s a real world traveler now too, having come to us from South Korea via Team Inch just over two years ago. But finally – on her new dad’s birthday – they made the trip back down to pick up a very happy, fun girl who is definitely ready for her forever home: Lizzy! And a special thanks today to all the wonderful trainers and volunteers who have been working with Lizzy since she arrived. She has come so far! – Mike Forrest

Jolene

Jolene (black) with new Mom & Dad, Nancy & Rich with sister, Edie.

These recent adopters were looking for a buddy for their six-year-old greyhound Edie. She seems to get along with everybody but can get a little overwhelmed if other dogs come on too strong. Based on that we thought we might have a good match for her, and it was pretty clear right from the start that Edie agreed! So, congratulations to her and her mom & dad on welcoming Jolene to their family! – Mike Forrest

Dooly

Dooly with new Mom, Liz.

This adopter has had several of our greyhounds over the years, including two seniors who sadly passed away earlier this year. She heard about one of our recent arrivals and thought he might be a great fit, but we needed to make sure he’d get along with a couple of Westies who will sometimes share office space with him. Sure enough, the introductions went great, and now 4 year old Dooly has a new family and two new office buddies! – Mike Forrest

June Bug

June Bug nka Inca (L) with new family, Chris & Margaret with sister, Topaz (fka Chase).

These adopters are frequent volunteers at GPI and adopted their girl Topaz (fka Chase) from us back in January. They felt that it was time to add a second greyhound to their home and started looking for a potential match. They brought Topaz to our meet & greet event in Redmond, and while there they met one of our adoptable dogs. She and Topaz hit it off immediately and so after some further introductions they made things official today. Topaz has a new sister named Inca (formerly June Bug)! – Mike Forrest

Kiki, Daffodil, Zane

August 5, 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.

Kiki

Kiki (L) with new parents, Karin & Jason & Ciara fka Cooler.

These adopters are no strangers to GPI having adopted several dogs from us over the years. They came in with Ciara (fka Cooler), their four-year-old girl from Ireland. Ciara needed a new playmate, but one that wouldn’t overwhelm or intimidate her. They saw that we have several shy/nervous dogs up for adoption right now and felt that one of those might be a good fit for them and Ciara. So, we introduced a few to see how they would get along. The one that won them all over very quickly was a very shy but very cute young lurcher girl who recently arrived from California – Kiki! – Mike Forrest

Daffodil

Daffodil with new Mom & Dad, Pat and The Mister.

These recent adopters have been near & dear to GPI for over two decades, and this is their 12th adoption from us! They have been coming to the kennel for turnout as well as spending extra time working with some of our shy dogs while looking out for their next hound. Well, they found her, or she found them, so congratulations to our red four-year-old Daffodil and her new family! – Mike Forrest

Zane

Zane (R) with Grandmom Ruth, Mom Jennifer, Dad Brian and sister Dana.

This adoption was to a family that brought home two of our greyhounds several years ago. Sadly, one of them passed recently, and their girl Dana who originally came to us from Jerusalem needed a new buddy to play with. Dana is on the shy side but active and playful so they wanted to find a hound that could keep up with her. They saw the bio of one particular dog on our website and thought he’d be a good match, and they were absolutely right! Congratulations to them and their new brindle boy Zane who just turned two this week! – Mike Forrest

Kash: August Dog of the Month

July 31, 2024

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

Kash
Tag No: 7008
Registered Name: None
Breed: Pharoah Hound Mix
Date of Birth: Approx Jan 10, 2022
Color: Red Fawn
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Ok with dogs his size, Unknown with others
Kid Friendly: Unknown
Weight: 30 pounds
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Kash is a fun, playful, friendly and outgoing guy! He will just make you smile! He is active and higher energy, but also likes some cuddle time and affection. Kash is young and hasn't had much guidance in life, so he is still very much a puppy in training. Kash will need an active home, with a fenced yard, who can give him the exercise and guidance he needs. Kash will need a home without cats. Kash came to us from Hawaii.

Kash would love to have a sponsor until he finds his forever home. More info here: https://www.greyhoundpetsinc.org/support/sponsor-a-dog/

Rumble, Margo, Turnip, Amelia

July 19, 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.

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

Amelia with new parents, Holly & Steve.

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
