DYNOMITE 6/28
Ulf and Lottha and the kids adopted Graziella one of the greyhounds rescued from Guam. Well it was about time Graz had a playmate so

in Mountain View.

FAIRWAY 6/28
Emily wanted to volunteer as a foster and conduct our meet and greets in Santa Cruz. Look for them in our event section. So as the story goes
Emily felt she should have a foster if she is going to run the meet and greets at her bakery. So she fostered Fairway and now it seems Fairway
is not going anywhere. What a life, a greyt home, fun meet and greets and all the cookies you can eat. Fairway now Travis Mcgee has his
forever home with Emily in Santa Cruz.

Michele and Gary could not wait to learn that greyhounds are like potato chips, you just can't have one. They started out with two. Going
home to Petaluma with a ready made greyhound family Michele and Gary are taking Mandy the blue brood matron and Saffrin to their forever home.

VICTOR 6/27
Leslie felt it was time to add another greyt to her hound mix. She picked the right time because there was Victor waiting to go to
his new forever home. We saw Victor today at our playdate and it was so funny he just would rather hang with Leslie then run with the hounds.
Now that is a loyal campanion hound.

Becky was looking forward to getting Flora. When we told her that was the hound we felt would be a good match she was
thrilled. But the adoption day came and sadly Becky came down with the flu. Michael and Austin would not let mom down so they came in the evening
and sat through our how to care for their new greyhound rant and took Flora and all the information home to Mom in Antioch. Flora is now home

Candy has been with us for a long time and is a great advocate for greyhound adoption. When she lost her beloved Ozzy she hoped another greyt

RUSTY 5/30
Michael needed a hound for his San Francisco home that was confident and he knew the neighbors would not want lots of noise. He needed just
the right dog especially one that would love walks around San Francisco. He also wanted a greyhound. Rusti now Portia was the perfect fit.
Let Their Last Race Be Into Your Life! |

LADY 5/30
Lady is on her way home with Barbara to Healdsburg. She has a cute wiggle in her walk due to a broken hock she got on the track that was not

FIONA 5/11
Victor and Jennifer are now home in Oakland with Fiona now Pilot. They both came and visited us during our last haul and fell in love with Fiona.

Let Their Last Race Be Into Your Life! |

GRACE 4/25
Carmen and Alyssa will be taking Grace all the way home to Coos Bay Oregon. Of course they came highly recommended since Carmen is
one of our favorite adopters mom. I guess doggie sitting and those quick visits with Candeance's hounds were not fun when they all had
to leave. What better way to remedy the situation then to get your own greyts, which is what they did.
Let Their Last Race Be Into Your Life! |

BULL 4/25

LAURA 4/19
Hilary will be taking one of the cutest dogs we had to her new home in Carmel Valley. Laura, may be Ella by now, she is a smiler and

CATWOWAN 4/11
Blake and Chris will be taking catwoman to her forever home in San Francisco. I suggested to Blake that he keep the name catwoman
but that did not fly. If all goes well she will be a therapy hound, another working greyt. Ever see Hitchcock do his cameo's. Look to the
left and see Ivy the Hitchcock of the greyhounds.

MARLA 3/21
Catherine is taking Marla home to Oakland. Catherine is our greyt volunteer that drives to the airport to pick up our dogs. If only Marla went
potty on leash as quickly as the new dogs just arriving Catherine would be a happy camper. Looks like until Marla gets the hang of it, lots of
walks for Catherine and her new hound. Marla makes up for it being a love bug.

DARA 3/7
Here's Alison & Christopher with Dara and her sister Olive . They're calling her "Tini" (for martini - olive &

KALAMANZIE 2/8
Jody is a greyt volunteer for GSGA. After fostering many times and adopting a brood matron Jackie, she called me and said if we
ever get an older hound please call her, she just loves the seniors and would love to give one a good home. That same day we found
Kalamanzie, who just was rescued from Guam was 8 years old and needed a wonderful home. Kalamanzie, now Blue, had a very tough life
on the track. She has now been given the life she deserves retiring with Jody and her other rescues in Petaluma.

SCOUT 1/31
Scout came to us from the Guam racetrack. We thought that Bill would work with Scout a bit and get him ready for his new forever home. It seems

Charla met us at our Palo Alto Meet and Greet. She was so excited getting her new hound and was delighted when she heard we had a haul coming in
on Jan 3rd. Charla even came to watch as the dogs were driven up and were taken off the truck one by one. Now the best part of the story is
that her Melody, now Cashmere was the very first hound to come off the truck. Now that is Karma and you should have seen Charla's face when
she heard Melody's named called out. They are both doing greyt in Stanford and maybe you will be able to meet them at our next Palo Alto Meet and Greet.

singinsis since she will be just the greytest hound and a greyt fit.
