 part of her family. She joins Mozart the cat as well as all her cousins at the Ebert home!

Our Poster Child for Foster Failure!

SC / HBG is successful again!
Autumn was adopted by Vicki & Bob Stewart in Anderson, SC.
They fell madly in love with her...so they decided to give fostering a try. 
Guess what!  Another foster failure in the making...Shadow is staying!
Thinking there is always a chance that you can succeed as a foster family,
they tried again with Bailey.  Well...she's staying, too! Yes!!!

 

SC / HBG is on fire!
Lia Clardy and Jeff Ragsdale of Williamston, SC are our newest greyhound addicts!
When they adopted Toni, they were so excited, they took her straight over to meet
the extended family.  Soon after, they adopted Hannah.  Then they decided to attempt fostering,
but Braxton (fka Carla) has become the third permanent grey in their gang!

 

Kayden is living with John & Annamarie Albanese in Punta Gorda.
He's gotta be a happy boy!

Allan and Carol Tissot live in Punta Gorda and they've recently added Josh to their family.
He has a Westie sibling and he is LOVIN' life!

Lover went to live with Linda and Jack in Cape Coral.
Then, we guess the greyhound bug must have bitten them, because
not long after that, Cheyenne (f/k/a/ Shania) joined the family!
They have another canine brother named Grif.  They've got lots to love now!

 

Aurora has a new name and a new home!  She is now known as Abby
and is living with Benny and Cindy Anthony in Cape Coral.
She has a jack russell sister named Trixie and together,
they are spoiled rotten.  As it should be....!

 

When Barney and Cathy Barnett came to the kennel at the greyhound track,
Greta smiled pretty and they said "We want her!"
Then, they met Katie at a meet-n-greet and said, "We want her, too!"
We were disappointed when they moved to South Carolina,
but when they're travelling around in their own motor home, they come back and visit us! 
Sadly, Greta is now at the Rainbow Bridge, but last time they were here,
they added Maya (f/k/a Loni) to their family!

When Earl and Peggy Eckhardt of Cape Coral were ready to adopt a greyhound,
they couldn't decide which one they liked...so, they took two!

He was one of the fire dogs and now he's a show dog. 
How cool is that?!?!

 

Rita and Ray Lasalle of Punta Gorda have caught "Greyhound Fever."
It started with Calli  and now Precious   has joined the family. 
Another fine foster failure...

 

Well, it only took a few minutes for Rick and Rita Pociask of Estero
to decide that Dave   was the guy for them!  And it only took a couple of months
for them to decide one wasn't enough and Kandi   joined the family!
They don't look TOO happy, do they?

 

 

 

Becca and Scott Loiacano of South Fort Myers were the proud parents of Dutch. 
Then, a dog-sitting favor brought Earl  to the family, too.

Bruce and Nancy Bohn found out that greyhounds are the right match for them.  
Bruce even has a greyhound on his business card! 
Here's Dragon with his brother, Smokin' Joe.

Calli is a really lucky girl!  Her new mom, Jennifer Vickrey, was so excited to pick her up,
she and her new husband got off the plane after a 31 hour trip home from their HONEYMOON
and drove straight down to pick her up.  You can't tell she's spoiled, can you? 
(She only got this bag of greenies off the shelf and opened it herself...mom didn't say a word.)
Rumor has is that a greyhound brother or sister can't be too far off.

  

When Barbara and Dan Coakley came to PetsMart to meet their new greyhound,
Megan wasn't really the one they intended to adopt.
However, Megan came right up to Barbara, looked at her with those big brown eyes 
and it was all over.  By the time they left, Megan had a new collar, a new harness,
food bowls, food, toys, a bed...and on and on.   At home, she had sister, Sasha, awaiting. 
No, she doesn't look spoiled at her new home in Cape Coral, does she?

We keep telling people...you can't have just one!  Once again, the potato chip theory holds true...
this time for Jeff and Nadine Davis of Cape Coral. 
Winston and Sahara are both spoiled rotten...life on the boat,
parties with the neighbors and their pets, a couple of feline siblings,
Mom and Dad are co-sponsors of  the annual Doggy Wash.
What else could they want?!?!

   

Beauty (f/k/a Betty) is living in St. James City with her new folks,
Peter and Gloria McKeown.  She has a nice, quiet neighborhood and a new human brother.
Lucky gal!

   

Well,  Bella doesn't look TOO comfortable, does she? 
She settled right into her new forever home with Robert and Sheri Lehet!
She has a sister named Rosie and now Alex has joined the family, too!
Another happy ending!

 

Star is a really happy guy.  He found his forever home and family in Bonita Springs! 
David, Shawn, Spencer and Shelby think he is the greatest thing
since sliced bread.  He even has a poodle brother named Shadow.
What more could he want?!?!

Zack sure knows how to work HIS special magic. 
He had Lannon Ruth under his spell almost immediately.
Of course, with a face like this, who could resist?  He has her really well trained, too. 
She brings him to visit his greyhound buddies on a regular basis...
and we LOVE seeing them!

     

So, did you notice how K.C. is smiling in these pictures? 
That's because he has a forever home!
That's sure worth smiling about!

Now, he's top gun!

  

Happy's name REALLY fits now that he has his forever home!

    

Honey has a wonderful new home.  With a face like this, who can be surprised!

  


Nobody could resist a beautiful little brindle and white sweetie like Tiki. 
Beth and Eric Gosselin scooped her right up!

The Farrell Clan

Well, there are greyhound lovers and then, there are GREYHOUND LOVERS!!! 
Joanne and Pat Farrell  are the wonderful folks who started
Homeward Bound Greyhounds and they need their own page
with all these four-legged kids! 
Cindi, Sandi, Carlee, Marco, Stan Beau,
Brandi, JoJo, Lady, Artie and Donna
are the lucky greys that live with them.
In addition to their own "collection" of greys, they share their home
with most of our foster greys, too!
We couldn't do it without them!!!

              
  
   
     
         


Patti is a beautiful dark brindle with a dainty white tuxedo and white feet
that look like her dancing shoes when she prances around the yard!
She's small and shy and really needed someone to win her confidence.
She wanted a home of her very own and she found one! Lucky Girl!

       


Who could resist this pretty brindle lady? Somebody couldn't.
They took Polly home and made her one of the happiest gals around. Lucky Girl!

The Smith Family doesn't know how they ever got along without Mocha.
She motivates Lauren to walk by running toward the closet where her leash
is stored and doesn't stop until she takes her out for a couple of miles.
And, no matter what kind of day they have had at work, they are greeted
enthusiastically by Mocha at the door, which makes their frustrations or
worries just disappear.  She makes them laugh when they find things
in her bed that she has "stolen".  She loves Lauren's plush Boyd's Bears!

Here's Mocha engaged in one of her favorite activities! Lucky pup!

Mandi  is one beautiful brindle beach puppy!  
Her forever home is on Fort Myers Beach with Betsi Logan.  
She lives in a cozy beach bungalow with her 2 lab sisters and 4 cat siblings.
What a happy family they all make together!  Lucky gal!

 

The Moore Clan

Eliza (formerly known as Leeza) smiled that pretty greyhound smile at
Karen Moore and won her heart instantly!  When Karen met Huey, who shares an "issue" with Eliza,
it was a match made in heaven.  The issue?  Neither one will walk on tile floors! 
According to Karen, that's why man invented carpet and throw rugs!

 

Kristin and Buck's Clan

Buck and Kristin sent this greyt Christmas card showing off their kids, Abbey and Swede.
Unfortunately, Abbey has gone on to the Rainbow Bridge, but Swede is happy as a clam...
even when they're in Wisconsin!

The Clifford Clan

Fonda is one lucky girl!  Her badly broken leg is all fixed up
and she's at home with the Clifford's in North Fort Myers.
Butterfly is her greyhound sister!

   

Buddy is a "snowdog!" He spends his winters in Arcadia with
Edith and Gary Moody and his summers in Pittsburgh. And whenever
they decide to get up and go, he travels with them in his
own comfy spot in their motor home...he's now just one of their kids.
Gary says Buddy loves to ride in the car,
so his traveling lifestyle with the Moodys suits him just fine!

    

The Grove Clan is growing!

Nero (seen with Jerry at right) spent 12 weeks recovering from a broken leg
before finding Jerry and Susan Grove of Naples.  He was their first greyhound,
but we knew he wouldn't be their last! Their next addition was Sophie.
Lucky dogs!
