Adoption Stories
We love Benny so much. He answers to his name and is getting along famously with Lightning. He loves our short evening walks and our son is crazy about him. We could not have hoped for a better match! Thank you so so much!

I was originally told years ago that I could not have a greyhound with another small pet in the house, as the greyhound would likely kill it. So, my dream of having a greyhound was put on hold as I had a 5 1/2 lbs Yorkshire Terrier at the time. After I had to put my Yorkie to sleep, I had a cat and thought I would still not be able to get a greyhound, until one of my co-workers, Susan Baker, adopted a greyhound from Gold Coast. When she showed me the pictures of her "new baby", I was amazed that she could have a greyhound with 2 cats, so I started looking at the greyhounds on Gold Coast's web site. Susan told me that I needed to get Pink because she matched my cat (who is white and orange), but I didn't want matching pets. I went to the next meet and greet on December 17, 2006 to look at this beautiful greyhound named Red Queen (a red with white and black markings on her face), I thought she was the dog for me until I meet her. She was kind of standoffish with me, and we just didn't click. Well, almost as soon as I walked into PetCo, this white and red greyhound came and leaned against me. Judy, who I had only said hello to at this point, said "That is the dog for you", and Donna Galante agreed and said that she (Pink) had picked me. Every time I tried to walk away, she followed, and every time I tried to pet another greyhound, her head was right there for me to pet her too. I fought it for about 2 hours before I caved in, and agreed that she was the dog for me. I was finally able to get her on December 29th after I had returned to Orlando from visiting family for Christmas. Her race name is Kay V. Pink, and it suited her so well that I kept it, and just call her Pink (or as Ron and Shirley call her Pinkiepoo). I have never regretted getting Pink, even though I never wanted matching pets. She is definitely the right dog for me. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I really don't like white animals! Now I have two!

We adopted Gmc Dilly two weeks ago today. We've renamed her Lola and she seems to have settled right in with us. The past two weeks have flown by and we couldn't be happier. Saturday we even had some friends over and had a birthday party for Lola. I baked her a cake made of shredded carrot, peanut butter and honey and decorated it with pureed cottage cheese. Her and her new dog friends really enjoyed it!
Thanks so much Gayle and Judy for matching us with the perfect dog :)

Lewie is a terrific dog! He has a calm demeanor but is still very interactive with the family. He is well loved with family and neighborhood families throughout the subdivision. He gets along with other dogs and runs like the wind when he gets a chance!
We love him very much and look forward to many happy years with him.
