Don’t look at the color of my fur or the
sex that I may be,
Look deep into my soul to see the real me.
Don’t look at my age and think that I am too young or too old,
I will still need a warm comfy bed when I come in from the cold.
Try to look past how long I’ve been waiting here,
Look past my shyness and help me get over my fear.
I just need a chance to find the love of a family,
That will look past my scares or gray and just hug me.
I just know that my forever family are on their way,
That because of them I will have my own Gotcha Day.
So hurry up family please don’t make me wait,
To be your family pet is what I want, it is my fate.

Dominator Race Name: Dominator Girl DOB: November 14, 2001 Color/Sex: Blue Brindle Female Weight: 55.4 lbs. Good with Kids, Cats, and Other Breeds Sponsor Me Needs Time Dominator is an seven year old blue female. She is listed as a blue brindle, but we do not see any brindle in her coat. She is registered with the National Greyhound Association, however, she doe not have any races listed in Greyhound Data. She has tested kid, cat, and other breed friendly. Dominator is on the shy side and will definitely need another dog, not necessarily a greyhound, in her forever home. Due to her shyness, we will only place her with older kids (13+). She also prefers women to men. She will also need a calm environment with a backyard. She will walk on a leash, but she gets spooked when she hears a loud noise. This girl will definitely become some lucky lady's "velcro" greyhound. |

Buffon and Java Race Name: (None) DOB: Buffon 6 years old/Java 2 years old Color/Sex: Buffon - Brindle Male Java - Brindle Female Weight: Buffon - 57.8 lbs. Java - 49.2 lbs. Good with Older Kids, Cats, and Other Breeds Sponsor Me Romance Buffon is a six year old brindle Galgo from Spain. Java is a two year old brindle Galgo from Spain. They were turned into Scooby by the Gypsies in August of 2008. They lived on the Scooby Compound in Medina, until representatives from GAA traveled to volunteer and bring them to America. Buffon and Java have since showed us that they do not want to be without each other. If you take one of them away, the other will cry, whine, and try to escape to get to the other. They are very playful with each other and Java loves to play bow at Buffon. They walk nicely together, but when they are alone they are more shy and timid. We want these two to carry on their romance in America. We are looking for a home with older kids (13+) or no kids, six foot fenced in yard or leash walk only, and the patience to let them acclimate themselves to their new Country and family. Buffon and Java is sponsored by: Sami & Gypsy...In Loving Memory of Dan MacNiece - Dad to Roxy & Evie (NXS N Vee Me) |
