Guest ppeyton1229 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I am new to this group. I currently live in Lexington, KY. I got my first greyhound, Samantha (Doe's Sam I Am), almost 6 years ago. She will be 10 in May. At the time I got Samantha I already had 3 little dogs rescued from shelters (Oscar--a Brussels Griffon mix; Boo--a chihuahua/papillon mix; and Olivia--a long haired chihuahua). After I adopted Samantha, I started fostering greyhounds. I "failed" with foster #11, Fancy (de Fancy). She was a retired brood and was 11 when I got her to foster. We bonded immediately. Unfortunately, I lost her to osteosarcoma at age 12 years, 8 months. I continued to foster. I also adopted another retired brood, Penny (Prairies Eagle). She had a broken hock that was left untreated, so she is very lame. I also adopted a former foster who got returned from 3 homes through very unfortunate incidents. Sloppy Joe (T's Sloppy Joe) was apparently always supposed to be with me, it just took me a while to figure it out! I am not currently fostering because Penny is so lame that she could easily get knocked off of her feet. I have had 30 fosters in the last 5 1/2 years and they are all in wonderful homes. I do have a question for the wonderful people in this group. Does anyone know if there is an adoption group in the Savannah, GA,, area? There is a slight possibility that I may be relocating to that area in the next year and I would LOVE to continue to volunteer with another group. I have fostered, transported, done MANY meet and greets, done home visits, etc. I would really like to stay involved. Thanks so much, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
