After a long journey from New Zealand and months of waiting in foster care, Silly has found her forever home! šŸ–¤šŸ¾ Bob and Denise had a Greyhound-shaped hole in their hearts after their beloved Goose passed away. Fortunately, Silly was ready to fill the spot with her charming personality and endless affection. She was a little nervous at first, but she quickly settled into her new home. Here she is enjoying her fluffy bed in her favorite spot by the fire at Dad's feet. šŸŖµšŸ”„ Our New Zealand girl knows it's important to stay warm! Congratulations to Silly, Bob, and Denise! šŸ„³

Please join us and welcome, Melissa, as the newest member of the We Adopt Greyhounds Board of Directors! Melissa will be joining us as our new Foster Coordinator where she will be overseeing our Foster Program (Link in comments)

Melissa first started adopting greys back in 2005 from Lincoln and has had greyhounds ever since! Melissa currently has 4 greys, Closer, Lilo, Ditto, and Johnny, 1 Galgo from Spain, Pinocho, and one teeny tiny Chihuahua, Roxie!

Did you know that all dogs that come into WAG need a place to go before they can be adopted? And that without open foster homes, WAG is limited in the dogs we can welcome into the group?

WAG is always looking for new foster families - both long and short-term! It is such an important part of the journey these dogs go on and we are so thankful for all who have fostered for us in the past and all who foster for us currently.

WAG does have an immediate need for foster homes, though, and with dogs waiting for places to go, now would be a fantastic time to reach out if you have been thinking about fostering! If you have any questions on the process, please reach out to Melissa at [email protected]

WAG is an all-volunteer organization and we continue to appreciate everyone, past and present, who has volunteered their time, energy, and love to support our mission. We cannot understate the impact that this has on our group!

We can't be the only ones mesmerized by foster Teddy's gorgeous eyes, right?! We can't believe this handsome fella from the UK *still* hasn't found a family to call his own!
Teddy (Teddys Mate) is just perfection in a nutshell. His foster dads say Teddy is a very smart, attentive dog. He gives a cute whistle when heā€™s getting bored or wants attention, and heā€™s learning lots of helpful commands like ā€œdownā€ with his foster dads! Teddyā€™s always excited to meet new people. He loves everybody and leans heavily on every new friend.
Teddy is not cat or small dog safe, but he loves kids and people, and is amazing with his greyhound housemate!
If you think Teddy's meant to join your family, please apply on our website or contact your adoption representative!

UPDATE - A lovely person has taken the dogs into her care and the pups are all set for now - thank you all!

Hi all - calling for some help, AGAIN! Two of our previously adopted dogs are in need of some emergency pet sitting coverage due to their ownerā€™s medical emergency. This biggest issue is this is for an undetermined amount of time as their owner was supposed to be in the hospital for 2 days and it's been 2 weeks and there are/continue to be complications. If anyone is in the Vernon, CT area and are willing to provide drop-in services throughout the day, indefinitely, we would be incredibly grateful. Or, ideally, if there is a really generous person that can take these two lovely dogs on for a period of time, that would be absolutely incredible. Please let us know!
ā€” looking for help.

Foster Fail Alert!!! šŸšØ When sweet boy Tyson (JK On My Grind) was returned to WAG because of his severe separation anxiety, Michael, Mikey, and their greyhound, Oaks, answered the fostering call! They worked tirelessly with Tyson for months to improve his separation anxiety and to make him feel comfortable in their home. We are happy to report that Tyson's separation anxiety has improved tremendously and he is thriving in their care. For Christmas, Mikey surprised Michael with an adoption certificate... Tyson is officially their boy! Congratulations to all! šŸ„³

Foster Silly celebrated her 4th birthday earlier this week, and she hopes this doesn't make it not come true, but she told us her biggest wish for her birthday is to find a family to call her own! This sweet, stunning lady couldn't be more deserving of having that wish fulfilled!

While Silly (Silly Joke) is still looking for her forever home, her foster parents tell us she's still very sweet and affectionate. She gets along well with her foster sisters and everyone respects each others boundaries. She's polite and well-behaved, walks well on leash, and generally a very easy hound! A girl like this, we like to call a 'gateway grey'-- she would make a perfect first greyhound for someone and you're guaranteed to be hooked on the breed!

Silly does well in a home with other greyhounds who respect her space and boundaries, but is also confident enough to be an only dog. Upon further testing, we think Silly would do best in a home without cats. She's a bit of a breed snob and will alert you to any non-greyhounds nearby when you're out and about, but did well hanging out with some non-greyhounds in the home for Thanksgiving. Silly loves to go for walks and sniffs, has loved adventures that involve bodies of water, and is a total social butterfly who loves people!

If you think this gorgeous New Zealand lady is a good fit for your family, fill out an adoption application on our website or contact your adoption representative.

Walker here - checking in!

Iā€™ve been having some troubles lately. Itā€™s really tough getting old! And this cold doesnā€™t help. I recently needed to be seen by the vet and have had more arthritis medications added to my regiment. In addition to these meds, I would really love to have more blankets that foster mom can easily wash. I tend to have accidents now more than normal and she has a lot of laundry to doā€¦ so fleece blankets and laundry detergent would be a huge help to her! Also, XL p*e pads if youā€™re feeling generous.

Also, Iā€™m in need of some waterproof crate mats. Thereā€™s one on our Amazon wishlist, but Iā€™m not picky! It just has to be ā€œnest-proofā€ because I need to make my own beds juuust right before I can take a nap!

Foster momā€™s friend and WAG board member, Brandy, is going to help me navigate the internets so that I can add these special things to WAG's Amazon wishlist. If you would rather donate a monetary fund, please visit our website for ways to do that. My food and medications can get very expensiveā€¦

Thanks again friends!! Iā€™ll update soon!
Love, Walker ā¤ļø

If you'd like to donate blankets, crate mats, or p*e pads to Walker, you can find the link to our Amazon wishlist in the comments!
