Happy homecoming!

Today Happy left to go to his forever home. We enjoyed him company while we had him but he's moving on to greater things. Good luck wiggly boy!

Triple takes a trip

Today we said goodbye to our buddy Triple, he went home today to live with Rob and Lisa. The sweet little monkey reminded us why we love him so much by being a perfect angel in the car, laying down the whole way to his new home. Once there he explored and quickly settled down on one of his new beds. Ahh, perfection!

Happy is dog of the week, and spoken for :)

This is Happy and his name suits him, everything is life is new exciting adventure and he's ready for it! Nothing gets him down and he loves people, likely a velco-dog in the making. Unfortunately for everyone else Dean and Mary met him after his pictures were taken and have decided he is the grey for them so he already has a home but we have many other wonderful and loving dogs looking for their forever homes.

Thanks For Paws!


Yesterday's adoption event at For Paws was a smashing success! We had a great group of people come by to visit with the dogs and most of the crew that came have homes waiting for them now.

We would like to thank Faye and Alessandra at For Paws for being such amazing hosts to us and the greyhounds. Thanks also to Dean and Mary, Stacey and Justin, Lisa and Rob and Dale and Deb for opening your homes to a retired racer! We also appreciated the visits from Alexis and Lil Bit and Rich and Artie, both greyhounds went home only last weekend and are already doing us proud! And it was nice to see Lily with her mom Jen as well.

Between the new greyhound families found and the visits from our alumni with their people it was a wonderful event. Thank you everyone!

Now we know why Jane doesn't quite grasp the concept of "off."



Triple starts to work his puppy dog eyes.


Still working it...


It worked! Triple scored himself a home and the love of Lisa and Rob.



Jane thinks that Triple is almost as good as a sofa.


Triple gets trampled and shows amazing tolerance.
