Bolt & Sophie: January Dogs of the Month

bolt-sophiecollage2

Please contact Moira Corrigan ([email protected]) for more information about BOLT.

Bolt
Tag No: 6940
Registered Name: None
Breed: Greyhound/Shepherd
Date of Birth:  October 15, 2020
Color: Brown
Cat Trainable: Unknown
Dog Friendly: See Comments
Kid Friendly: Unlikely
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments:  Sophie and Bolt are siblings and came to us after being rescued from a South Korean dog meat farm.  Sophie and Bolt are so fun together and just love to run and play.  Sophie is super shy, while Bolt is more outgoing after his initial shyness.  With time and patience she is now letting a few people handle her and she loves belly rubs.  We would love to place Sophie and Bolt together in a home.  Neither of them are suitable for an apartment/condo/townhome.  Bolt needs a securely fenced yard with room to run and play and burn off his energy.  While not as shy as Sophie, Bolt needs a home that will have the patience to work with him and guide him.  That home will be rewarded 10 fold for their patience and guidance.  A DNA test on Sophie and Bolt's sister showed her as 57% greyhound, 31% german shepherd, and then various mixes of Laika.

Sophie would love to have a sponsor while she waits to be adopted.  If interested in helping, see: https://www.greyhoundpetsinc.org/support/sponsor-a-dog/

IN MEMORY OF KATHY KREYLING

GPI lost one of our best in November 2022. Sadly, our Regional Vice President and Head of Adoptions, Kathy Kreyling, has passed away.

A GPI volunteer since 2009, Kathy was doing her dream job.

You can feel her commitment and passion for helping dogs find their forever families in each and every Adoption Tails story she wrote and we posted here on our blog.

We are richer for having known Kathy. Her GPI family will miss her deeply.

The afternoon of January 14 2023, we held a memorial for Kathy at the kennel.  Here are a few photos from the event.

We know Kathy is loving on all the dogs that have passed and smiling from ear to ear!

We miss you Kathy – forever in our hearts.

A memory board

Wonderful memories of Kathy

Kathy’s beloved dog, Marnie, with her new momma – Josafina (who worked for Kathy for 20 years). Marnie is being well loved by Josafina and her family, who Marnie adores!
Delicious cupcakes and cookies for everyone to enjoy! Thank you to the bakers – they were yummy!

Meet Moe: July Dog of the Month

Please contact Moira Corrigan for more information about Moe.

Moe
Tag No: 6767
Registered Name: Gonnahaveaparty
Breed: Greyhound
Date of Birth: March 23, 2019
Color: White/Red
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Ok with greyhounds, Unknown with others
Kid Friendly: Unknown
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Moe is a playful, upbeat, youngster. Moe is still very much a puppy and still learning about life - everything is new and exciting or a tiny bit overwhelming. He loves to lean in for some loving. He will make you smile! Moe will need an active home and one who can supply his eagerness to learn with some guidance. Moe is loving his walks with our volunteers. He will do best in a home with another happy-go-lucky dog. He is not suitable for an apartment/condo/townhome and will need a 6 foot fence.

See https://www.greyhoundpetsinc.org/support/sponsor-a-dog/ for information about sponsoring Moe until he finds his forever home.

Meet Draft: April Dog of the Month

draftdrop22

Draft is looking for his forever home.  Could that be with you and your family?

Please contact Moira Corrigan for more information and/or questions about Draft.
Draft
Tag No: 6410
Registered Name: Draft King
Breed: Greyhound
Date of Birth: Sept 2, 2015
Color: Brindle/White
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Ok with greyhounds, No small dogs
Kid Friendly: No
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Draft is a big, handsome boy. He likes to be the center everything and is curious about everything. Draft is eager to please and wants to be around you. He takes treats gently and loves to be a good boy. His only issue is his bed as he is uncomfortable with anyone coming near while he is laying down, but some barriers around his bed work really well. He can get a little excited and then wants to jump, but his foster home is working with him on this. Draft should not be in a home with cats, small dogs or children. He would likely do well in a home with another confident dog. Draft's foster mom and our behaviourist are working with him and he is a star!!! He is learning a number of commands and techniques. Draft will need a home who can continue to practice the techniques he is learning. Draft's adoption includes four training sessions with Crawford Canine Connection.
