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.
Squid
This dog came to use from Hawaii with his brother Ed. The two are adorable, playful and have entranced us with their puppy antics. This boy did so well with the family’s children – gentle and played well. They are hoping to train him as a therapy dog. Go Squid!!! -Moira Corrigan
Liz
This dog came to us in May of this year and went through 2 homes for separation anxiety. This family have a 12 year old tripod Viszla and a 5 year old Boston Terrier – a hard home to find a match for, along with their pet rats (kept separate from the dogs) and two teenagers. But Liz prevailed and is now enjoying retirement with everyone to keep her company. – Moira Corrigan
Casper
This dog had a couple looking for their first dog together. They recently moved into a townhouse and were ready to adopt. They looked at a number of dogs, but Casper stole the show and was glued to the by the time they left – just in time for Halloween!!! – Moira Corrigan
Astro
This couple came looking for another greyhound after their last greyhound passed in June. They have had greyhounds for years and a handsome boy Astro, from Australia, caught their eye. Astro is now enjoying retirement Stateside in their home. – Moira Corrigan
Sid
This family came looking for a dog to add to their family that includes a 7 year old girl. They were particularly interested in our smaller dogs. They spent lots of time with one of our smaller dogs and finally went home with one of the biggest boys in the kennel – Sid, one of our Irish lads. – Moira Corrigan
Star
This gentleman volunteered at the kennel about 10 years ago and fell in love with greyhounds, but at the time he wasn’t in a position to adopt one. Now he’s married and living in a house with a yard, so he and his wife started volunteering at the kennel doing turnout. As we often say, turnout is a great way to meet and get to know the dogs. And in this case they y fell in love and decided to bring Star home. – Moira Corrigan
Mandy
This couple from Portland came to visit during our recent Rootique shopping day. When they found out that we had a few dogs available who had previously lived with cats they were immediately interested and quickly got their home visit done. All of the dogs we introduced them to got along with their brindle girl Saffron. But one in particular caught their eye, so they brought home Mandy. – Mike Forrest
Mischief
The couple that came in this day has had greyhounds for the last 30 years, and decided that their current girl Melody needed a companion. Since they also have a couple of cats, their options were very limited. Melody got along with all of the dogs that we introduced her to, but one girl came out determined to let everybody know that she was ready to go home today: Mischief! – Mike Forrest
