Thank You!
I didn’t really want you, I wasn’t really sure and
I’ll admit I had my doubts, when you came through that door
Not small or cute or fluffy with big soft puppy eyes,
But tall and thin and bony with bald pink bulging thighs.
You weren’t the kind I had in mind, not in any way,
Perhaps it would be better if I took you back today,
Before we know each other, it really won’t be kind
To keep you here for 1 more day & then to change my mind.
But against my better judgment I decided you could stay,
and quickly I discovered you were kind in every way.
Your gentleness and patience really stole the show.
Why these dogs are wonderful, I must let others know!"
You’re my gentle giant, who just needed the chance,
To show us all what you could be, to wipe away that history,
dispel our preconceptions, that put us all to shame,
And so we come to know & love what lies beneath that frame.
And now I’ve come to understand,
What I missed at the start,
That Greyhounds need that great deep chest,
To house their great big hearts.

Sampson:
Racing name: Sgt Jim Chee
Ear Tag #:Right, 32D Left, 11300
Color: Brindle
D.O.B.:03/05/2002
He is good with other dogs…not sure about cats (he does chase
rabbits and gets very excited when he's sees a cat out the
window)
He uses a doggy door to potty. Had a plate in right left leg but
that was removed several years ago. He likes to run a few laps
in the yard every day then is quite content to do absolutely
nothing:). He loves to have his ears rubbed.

Cross post for Friends of Greyhounds...
Basic Information: Racing Name:
Primco Gator Eye, Kennel Name:
Penny, DOB: 1/1/03, Female, 10 Years Old:
Color: White and Red, Racing Weight: 56 lbs. Call name Penn
Primco Gator Eye is a senior at ten years
young, she had 23 children of her own.
An owner wishing to adopt will get much
pleasure out of providing love and dignity to an animal that
hasn’t been able to experience years of love and affection
through no fault of their own. If you are one of those special
hearted people that look for these special kinds of pets, I
suggest that you come down to our kennel and check this lady
out.
We hold an adoption open house every weekend from 10am until
3pm. Come check out Penny and all the others. For directions and
more information, please visit our website:

Lola
is a quiet, sweet, and very affectionate 9 year old girl that
has a clown/playful streak in her. She could stand to put
on a couple of pounds but with her healthy appetite this should
not be a problem. She lost part of her tail due to an
encounter with a door. She has a history of seizures but
this appears to be well controlled with Phenobarbital and has
had none while she has been in our home. Lola walks well
on a leash and is willing to do her business on a leash.
She gets along very well with the other hounds here and although
she has not been tested, I suspect she is cat and small dog
safe. Lola will get on a couch or a bed if allowed, but
understands and complies when told no. She would do well
as an only child and would like nothing better than to curl up
next to you on the couch with her head in your lap. This
is a great dog.
