Adopt an ex-racer from Greyhound Pets, Inc.

While we are thrilled to have our new kennel up and running, we still endeavor to place senior and/or greyhounds needing a little more personal time and care into foster homes. Our foster homes consist of experienced volunteers and greyhound owners who provide shelter to greyhounds in their own homes giving them love, tender loving care, transport to vet appointments, grooming and anything else they might need while they are in our system.

Most dogs that are “Forever Fosters?” are dogs that are seniors who have been in our system for a while, sometimes years, or dogs that have special needs above and beyond what many adopters can handle. Most “Forever Fosters?” are available for adoption, but generally they are only suitable for experienced adopters or those with a very specific home environment.

Our “Forever Fosters?” are listed below. They are surrounded by people who love them and have plenty of canine companionship at all times.

If you can't adopt a dog and you'd like to help, please sponsor one of our “Forever Fosters?”. Your sponsorship donation will help defray the costs involved in making our long term fosters comfortable while they wait for their forever homes.

If you're interested in adopting one of these dogs, please contact the Vice President closest to you listed below or click the "Contact for more information" button included with each dog.

	*Allie* Tag No: 4413 Registered Name: Ranco Brandy Age: 8 Color: Brindle Cat friendly: Yes Dog friendly: Yes Kid friendly: No Location: Maltby, WA (Foster) Comments: Allie is a gorgeous girl with the most engaging amber eyes. Due to her assertive behavior with many people she needs a firm but gentle hand from a very experienced greyhound person. She is cat friendly, small and farm animal safe, but would be best in a home without children. She loves treats and mealtime,and has easily learned "sit" and "down". She loves car rides, but will at times bark at people if they approach. Sponsored by Deanna Ulino Also sponsored by Becky Kranz

	*Bailey* Tag No: 3245 Registered Name: SS Misty Sue Age: 11 Color: Fawn Cat Friendly: No Dog Friendly: No, prefers Greyhounds Kid Friendly: Older Location: Edmonds, WA (Foster) Comments: Bailey has the most amazing ears that will either flop over her face, wrap around over the top of her head or end up with one forward and one back. When she shakes her head, she rearranges her ear fashion for the moment. She has the sweetest personality with little prances and major tail wags. She has no separation anxiety and may do well as an only dog although she would probably prefer the company of another Greyhound since she lived with one for many years in her previous home. She loves walks and is very easy on-leash. At one time, she had a toe amputation but it doesn't seem to slow her down at all except for a slight limp at times and not wanting to walk on uneven surfaces such as wood chips and rocks. Bailey knows a number of commands such as sit, lay down, wait, come and let's go but don't say the word "walk" around her unless you're prepared to go.

	*Grayson* Tag No: 3117 Registered Name: Tristar Grayson Age: 11 Color: Fawn Cat Friendly: Yes Dog Friendly: Yes, all breeds and sizes Kid Friendly: Yes, all ages Location: Maltby, WA (Foster) Comments: This wonderful boy's family had to leave him behind when they were transferred to Germany. Grayson is loving, very playful, and very affectionate. He's a mellow boy but does love to run around even in the house. He has lived with other dogs and cats. He is good in the car. Loves his walks. Grayson has been allowed on furniture and beds because he is such a good boy. Sponsored by Martell Roberts

	*Redman* Tag No: 4091 Registered Name: Red Hotman Age: 9 Color: Brindle Cat friendly: No Dog friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes, with older. Too shy with younger Location: Edmonds, WA (Foster) Comments: For the most part, Redman is a sweet, fun boy with a sense of humor and a zest for life. He's quite the kisser when he feels comfortable with people in his environment. Sometimes, he's confident and other times he's quite shy and timid. Redman has an internal macho meter when it comes to men. If he senses that you're coming on a bit too strong or if he senses you don't fit in his comfort zone, he backs away. Other men are just fine as far as he's concerned. He's OK with the men in his foster family but he does not want to be crowded in or hovered over by them or anyone, for that matter. Redman has food allergies which are easily solved with duck & potato food. Redman might do best with women or a family with a gentle soul in the male of the house with no small children or kitties. He would do best with a canine buddy and a family that has someone around most of the time. Sponsored by Connie Wilks Sponsored by Robin & Jim Sanford Also sponsored by Cathy Munro
