I'm on the waiting list!


Recommended Posts

I did it!  I sent in the application to my hound adoption program for dog #3!  Both the boys are around age 11, and it is time to get my draft pick in reserve.  My program is now getting a few dogs every other month from West Virginia.  I told them my preference is a middle-aged female.  This means, of course, I'll end up with a young male.  But as long as it's a fairly mellow dog, we'll be all right.  Jeter just wouldn't enjoy a youngster constantly in his face.  

The program has a foster senior male with corns that they are looking for a home with no steps for him and a fenced yard.  Just in case anyone wants to look ;)  Greyhound Friends of NC

Yep, that happened to me--senior or special needs (I had a diabetic cat in the past, so chronic illness is no stranger in this house!), ended up with the Ginormous Galoot, soon to be 2.5.

Good luck, any way it shakes out!

That's terrific! I hope that whoever shows up fits in seamlessly.

Too bad Max is so far away. As a senior corndog with bad/no teeth, he'd fit right in. Except he's a boy. :lol:

Yes, Jeter is a "mac" dog -- Mac's Palmer.  Other folks -- Mac is for the breeder/owner/trainer.  GFNC is putting together a scrapbook of his dogs that have been adopted through them, so I sent some phone pictures of Jete-Jete.  Luckily, he so so photogenic that my bad picture-taking doesn't matter.

Thanks.  :)  Since they've adopted out 6 hounds to me over the years, I hope they've figured out that I'm an ok caretaker.

Do you think they would adopt out of state?  I lost my Maya a few weeks ago and am having no luck finding another greyhound:( I'm getting sad.

Did you look at Greyhound Angels in New Jersey?  I know that they will adopt out of state.

GFNC is only adopting to in-state or previous GFNC adopters.  All my sympathy on the loss of your Maya.

We need to find out where these groups from Texas and out west are getting their hounds.  :)
