ADOPTED - Bo is a sweet, friendly little girl that just needs company for her to be comfortable. Bo has had some issues with separation anxiety and would do the best in a home with a human that was home and/or other dogs. She has been in a large pack for the last few weeks and has done greyt. Bo loves to sleep in the bed with her human so if you are looking for a snuggler Bo could be your girl.

ADOPTED - Julie is a sweet, affectionate, independent girl. She is well behaved and loves her stuffies. She has been an only dog until her loving owner got too ill to care for her. She is now with a pack of 10 and does fine although we think she would be happier in a quieter household. Julie has quite the prey drive so cats, rats, birds, or little squeaky dog are not her idea of family members. Please contact the transitional kennel directly for more info on this special girl.

ADOPTED - Abigail is a very sweet and petite black
girl. She is quite cautious when she
meets new people, but in time warms up
wonderfully. Once she gets to know and
trust you, she is ready to greet you
with kisses and play with toys. She
gets along fine with other dogs, both
small and large, and doesn't seem
interested in cats either. She crates
fine, but would much prefer the bed or
sofa for her sleeping pleasure.

ADOPTED - Topper is a gorgeous young boy that has
never met a stranger. He is playful and
loves his toys. Topper does have the
tendency to jump and greet you face to face
but is working on learning not to jump on
people. Topper would really like to have
another large dog as a companion as he does
not like to be alone. He is a nice boy that
would be a great second or third greyhound.
Topper is currently fostered in a home with
children and 2 other greyhounds.

ADOPTED - Shawn comes to GPA/LA from PAWS. He has
moved into foster care and doing fantastic. So far
we have found nothing that Shawn doesn't care for.
He crates when asked without complaint but would
much rather spend his evening lounging on the couch
in proper retired racer fashion.

ADOPTED - Ava is a young girl that never raced. She has lived on the farm
her whole life. Ava is very shy and apprehensive of new
situations. Being young and inexperienced, everything is a
challenge. She loves all human contact and really enjoys being
petted. We will update Ava's profile as soon as she reveals
herself. She is in a foster home with two other greyhounds.

ADOPTED - Vicky entered the GPA program when her owner passed away. She
is a small, pretty girl that, to humans, is a very loving and
sweet dog. She kennels fine and eats well. Vicky will come up
and lay her head on you for petting or gently put her front
paws up to give you a hug. She has shown some aggression to
female dogs. Under no circumstances should Vicky live with cats
or small dogs. Vicky would do best as an only dog in a quiet
home.

ADOPTED - Jenny came to GPA/LA from GPA Emerald Coast (Pensacola, FL) in
the wake of Hurricane Ivan and was placed 3 years ago.
Unfortunately Jenny's loving dad, who has been a wonderful GPA
volunteer, now has medical problems which make it impossible
for him to continue to care for her. Jenny is a very sweet and
beautiful girl, who has lived harmoniously with a Yorkshire
"terrorist."

ADOPTED - Checkers is a petite girl that has come to GPA because her
family was unable to care for her. She is a mild mannered,
mature girl with perfect house manners. She is living with 10
other greyhounds and an irish setter and has not had a single
incident. As soon as she sees anyone coming her way, she clacks
her teeth and stands with her paw up, as if she is pointing.
Checkers is in perfect health.
