Hi Kristie, Gisthome Simone (Jazzy), the sibling to your greys is doing fine! She is a very friendly girl, alwayswagging her tail and chasing tennis balls outside. She also does laps around our pool! Jazzy turned 4 in March. I hope her sibblings are also doing fine. Ttyl, Scott & Nancy Brady

We got our second grey from gfnj last week. He has definitely brought a new energy to our home and we fell in love with him as soon as we met him with his fosters to pick him up. It's nice to have two different personalities in the house, yet more of the same sweetness, goofiness, and love of another grey angel. We are glad our girl has a brother and we have already more than doubled our joy with having two. Thanks again, GFNJ!

We're almost at a year with our wonderful Grey and we just love her (she came into our lives on March 21, 2010). She is a joy to have and we can't be happier to have her in our home. She doesn't seem to comprehend, though, that she is much to big to be a lap dog, and yet, she will keep trying. She has taken over the "Man Cave" sofa and loves to look out the window if she can't be outside. Since we've been bombarded with snow she has loved running and romping through the drifts playing and having a wonderful time. Having her is almost like having a little child in the house again. She loves her squeaky toys and she loves to take over the king size bed, too. She knows that the front door is for walks and car rides and the back door is for lazying out in the sun or visiting with the neighbors' dogs (there are 3 right next to us). She seems very content and we're so happy to have her as a part of our family. Thank you GFNJ.

I've been meaning to thank
Greyhound Friends of NJ for some time now. We adopted Boba (Pat C Completely) in July 2009 and it was one of the best things we have ever done. Boba is one of the most loving and pleasant dogs I've ever owned. We are so happy to have this guy in our lives. Not only is he a great lap-warmer but he is also a social hit at parties and public outings. Greyhound Friends of NJ was such a great organization to work with that we have highly recommended it to our friends who are also interested in greyhound adoption. If you are considering adopting a greyhound I would say go for it! There are always adjustments to be made in the beginning but they are wonderful dogs and well worth the effort.

Belle (formerly Hairspray Episode) is lying on the sofa and can't come to the keyboard right now, but she wants to let everyone know she thinks often and fondly of her NJ Greyhound Friends even though she is a chic NYC girl now. It's been almost a year and she is a loving, kooky, popular little girl with friends all over the neighborhood. She sends special licks to Aunt Patty - when she gets her license she'll drive right down there to surprise you! You'll recognize her by the NY plates.

Kebo Kokomo is a joy and we just love her! We let her loose in the yard with her squeeky football and she'll run as fast as she can, pick up the football, and run some more without stopping. She's amazing to watch and she always looks so happy when she's running. That and when she's taken over the "ManCave" couch! lol

I adopted Zaida on July 17th and she has transcended my expectations beyond words. Not only is she friendly, gentle and a perfect lady, but her playful personality has brought such joy to my home. It warms my heart to see her settle in and enjoy her bed, toys, and treats, and everyone who has met her thinks she is the sweetest thing, not to mention gorgeous. Many thanks to Maria & Sue for their help and support.

I saw my greyhound's picture and knew she was the one that would fit perfectly in our family. I've already adopted Tiffany and this is my second wonderful hound, her name is Bree. She's been a pleasure in the few short weeks we've had her. Bree and Tiffany are insepartable. The sleep on the same bed, share the same toys and stay side by side by. I'm so glad that I adopted these two beautiful rescues, they are the light of my life.....

We adopted Pals Budweiser now Boomer on 5/8/2010, what a greyt dog! From the start Boomer has fit right in with the family and our other Grey Sergei who we adopted on 4/23/07 plus the 2 cats and other assorted small critters that make up our family. Boomer and Sergei went to Petco yesterday with me and were the hit of the store! Everyone we met were so impressed with their manners and how nicely they stood and let people pet them and ask questions about the breed. Both Sergei and Boomer are big black dogs and Boomer loves to smile at everyone. Thanks to everyone at GFNJ who helped us get another awesome big black greyhound, you are the best.

Scott and Nancy - thank you so much for taking in Githome Simone - she's the littermate to our grey Poppy (Bringittopoppa) along with another grey adopted through GFNJ, No Party Scottie. We wanted to take in Simone, but couldn't because she wasn't cat safe. So, we took in Steamin Peach (Peaches) and are quite happy with our "P" girls. We're glad she found a good forever home though, even if it couldn't be with us.

We adopted Kebo Kokomo on 21 March 2010 and all three of us are in love with each other. She's sweet, loves to give hugs and never once has she been seen to display aggressive behavior. She's very domicile and loves her naps! She learned to use our stairs within a half hour of coming into our home, too. We're working on the potty training though! lol

I'M SO GLAD THAT "GREYHOUND FRIENDS OF NJ" ARE DOING SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB, SAVING THE LIVES OF GREYS. EVERY BREED NEEDS PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE BREED IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PROPERLY MAINTAN THE QUALITY OF LIFE THAT THEY NEED AND ADOPT TO THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE THAT PARTICULAR BREED.

We are so happy to have Canyon in our home. He is as loving as we were told. He has learned to navigate our stairs, sometimes deciding on his own to go up or down, to see what we are doing. We cannot say anything bad about him, except that he barked once.(Just kidding!) We hope to bring him to a meet and greet as he is such a well behaved dog.

My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting many grayhounds at Pet Smart today, April 11th. They are the sweetest and most lovable dogs we have ever met. We lost our Golden 2 years ago and deeply considering adopting a grayhound. We do have a Yorkie and a cat. Anyone with some input to bring a grayhound into our family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

We lost our beloved Lightning who was also 13.5 years young last Thursday. We had to put him down and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I miss him so much, however, I do agree with Eric you have to adopt a greyhound. They are the most beautiful, lovable and sweetest animal I have ever had the pleasure to own and love. He would bark only when he wanted a treat or to go out or to just be loved. He had a fantastic personality and we got him when he was 4 years old. I can truly say he was the most spoiled greyhound in the world but the most wonderful one. I will always love him.

I had the pleasure of attending my first GFNJ function in November. I went to the craft show/adoption event. I was amazed and overwelmed by turnout of people, as well as the beautiful dogs I met that day. Thanks to my CART friend Sue, I am learning about these beautiful dogs. I do plan on adopting a new family member in the spring. So far the greyhound is one of the top rescues on my list of possibilities.. thanks for the wonderful experience..

We just lost our greyhound on Tuesday. He was adopted and was 13.5 when he past. He was our gentle giant who everyone loved. We adopted him at 2 and he was spoiled beyond any dogs dreams. We miss him so much and hope, over time, we will rescue another. I encourage everyone to adopt a greyhound. Ours was gentle, kind, loving, didn't bark, playful and the list goes on and on.

I was just looking at your St. Patrick's day pictures and I saw the picture of the young lady who is a member of our military. She was petting a red brindle greyhound wearing a purple collar and leash. I just started to cry. That dog looked exactly like my Trailways and I still have her purple leash and collar. Made me realize how MUCH I miss having a greyhound. Time to get busy and bring a new bundle of love into our home.

Margo & Monty have lived with us for about five years. Last year we had a baby, and had no idea how they would react.
Well, the beauty of it is that they didn't react. At all. They approached our new addition with usual Greyhound kindness. They stand patiently when I teach my daughter "nice doggie", even when she accidently grips thier fur. I am so happy our baby is going to learn about the love of animals through Greyhounds.
