Guest Chefcnam Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hello everybody, My name is Chris and tomorrow I will be bringing home my very first greyhound(or dog for that matter). Last Sunday, I went to the adoption place(Adopt a Greyhound Atlanta) to pick out my new best friend, but Willy ended up choosing me. Willy is a 60 pound female and will be 7 years old on March 3. Willy was returned to AAGA because her previous owner ended up losing his job and house so he could no longer care for her. I have been researching greyhounds for the last 2 months, which included reading from these forums and now that I have finally adopted a grey I decided to make an account. I am very, very excited to sharing my life with Willy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PhillyPups Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi Chris, welcome from Philly. Welcome Willy!! You are doing a double good thing, adopting a greyhound and adopting a bounce who knows of home life and lost hers through no fault of her own.
