We have helped several dogs through Bring Portuguese Podengos to Light 💚 Our contact reached out yesterday saying that they were rescuing this boy from an Azorian pound and that she would love if we named him. He was so dapper that we both decided on naming him Benton. Thanks to the collective effort of many organizations, Benton is one of the lucky ones. Thank you for allowing us to help him. 🥹

We want to take a moment to pay homage to Gulliver (Gully). On Jan.12th after showing such love and care over the last 2yrs, Carla Kenney had to make the tough decision to help him transition over the rainbow bridge. We really want you to understand how significant of a dog he was to our organization, please take a moment to read about him. He was adopted by Carla’s friend, Peter M Bloom, about three/four years ago. Gully was a desert saluki from Kuwait. He was found as a stray and taken in by Become a Foster Guardian. Peter saw footage of Gully and immediately wanted to adopt him. Gully then took the long journey from the deserts of Kuwait to the United States. Peter was so excited to embrace him into his loving home and give him the best life. Gully was so loved in the short time they were together. Unfortunately, Peter unexpectedly passed away about two and a half years ago. Being Carla had helped him get his two dogs (Gully and Gabby) she felt a great responsibility to care for them and honor him. Regardless of acknowledging the work it would involve taking two more dogs into her home she was up for it and wanted to make sure his dogs were well cared for.

Gully was not easy. He was truly a medical mystery. He was so thin upon arrival from Kuwait and stayed thin. Despite the many veterinarians he met with (five different ones), no one really understood what was going on with him. The medical tests, exams, bloodwork, etc was adding up significantly - so much so, that I she couldn't financially do it all. He had a chronic neck spasm, arthritis, a pellet lodged in his body from being shot in Kuwait; he was almost blind in one eye, he was a very stiff dog with a stiff and awkward gait. He had a food absorption problem. Despite the very large amounts of food he ate, in the end he was merely a 40lb dog who should have been about 60lbs. He wasn't a cuddly dog (likely a result from chronic pain) but he would follow her around the yard and in the house. He wanted to be close to her and wanted me to touch him, comfort him.

He was very quiet and sweet, with likely a background story for a book. Carla often wondered what his life was like, but maybe she wouldn't want to know. The pain and suffering that animals experience in this world, especially in other countries is cruel and barbaric. Gully has been a survivor, truly.

One great thing that has come from all of this is the creation of The Greyson Hound Foster Fund. It was his story that sparked me to call Carla one day and ask her if I wanted to start an organization to help dogs in need - especially helping rescue groups who take in tough cases like Gully. Shorty after, this dream became a reality. Since its conception, we have helped many dogs in need in both the United States and overseas. Gully has helped many dogs. I think Peter would think that is pretty neat too.

These lovely creatures that come into our lives have a purpose...so be kind and loving towards them. Help where you can. So many need us. Thank you to all of you and especially to Gully for being the catalyst that resulted in the GreyFosterFund.org. Thank you to Carla for your huge heart and to all of you that continue to support us.

Lobito (now Benny) visited with us during Pet Rock Festival this past October. He got adopted! Yay, we are so happy for you!

Update on sweet Lobito - now Benny (we love you Lobito, so happy for your loving new life💜):

"Wanted to give you an update on how Benny is doing. He has settled in, has met my son's boxer/pit mix and done very well, and met my almost 2yo grandson and did well with him also. This was all in preparation for the arrival of grandson #2 who was born Tuesday morning. Benny's temperament is so flexible. He's such a great addition to our extended family.

Tonight we had a Great Horned Owl in the trees behind our house and he was so interested in getting outside to see what was going on - he lost interest after ~5 minutes due to the cold. But it was enough for him to stop barking to get out to explore!

Thank you so much for agreeing that Lobito/Benny belongs with us. He's so happy, and so are all my family members.
Happy New Year!

This beautiful girl is looking for her fur-ever home!

Madigan, affectionately called Maddie, is a small, affectionate girl who lives for cuddles and wants to have a best friend to love her forever. Maddie has gone through a lot in less than a year and is very shy and worried as a result. But once you earn her trust she shows her wonderful, sweet personality. Going home will be another transition for her, so she needs a quiet home with a patient adopter that can help her feel more confident. Once she settles in, she will be the most adorable little shadow and you won't be able to imagine how you lived without her!

Visit www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt for adoption information.
