Kennel Help Needed - GPI is looking for volunteers to help with the greyhounds at the kennel during turnouts. The Kennel is located in Woodinville, WA - if you are interested, (you don't have to have a greyhound - we'd love it if you did!), just let Kathy Kreyling know. Needed Kennel Items - We're frequently asked what we need at the kennel. We always need blankets and quilts for the dogs. Also, we're in need of: - 2 area rugs or carpet remnants - roughly 10' X 10' or 12' X 12' - 1 Sofa table (no coffee tables please) - Kuranda Dog Beds - Kirkland dog biscuits - Bedding for the dogs both with stuffing and without stuffing of any kind - Bleach - Kirkland Lamb and Rice Kibble - Natural Balance Potato and Duck Kibble - 13 gallon plastic bags with ties - Stamps (46 cents or "Forever") - Glucosamine HCL powder - Canned pumpkin (not the pie mix, but the plain pumpkin) Can't adopt?  Then sponsor a dog! Here are two of our Forever Fosters? Allie is a beautiful, smart 11 year old girl who loves the company of another greyhound however when it comes to meeting new people, she needs a little more help. She wants to please, but her fear of strangers sometimes gets the best of her and results in very aggressive behavior. Long term observation and efforts to understand the reasons for her reactions has not revealed an answer.  Allie will continue to live in her Forever Foster home where she is loved and understood.  Would you please consider sponsoring Allie to help GPI defray the costs of her care?  Thank you for considering her. Buddy is a gentle old soul. Buddy and Blue were in the same home together and returned through no fault of theirs.  Buddy is almost completely blind and loves to snuggle in the recliner with his foster mom.  Update: Sweet Blue has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.  Everyone associated with GPI will miss this gal especially her long time friend, Buddy. Your sponsorship donation will help defray the costs involved in making our long term fosters comfortable in their forever foster homes during their final days.

Greyhound Pets, Inc. is a section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1985 by John Hern. While being supported almost entirely by donations and volunteer service, GPI has placed over 5,200 Greyhounds in homes through the Pacific Northwest and Southwestern Canada. Those outside of GPI's service area who are interested in the rewarding experience of being a greyhound adopter may contact a local greyhound adoption group through The Greyhound Project Inc.
