When a greyhound is welcomed into our home, they become a member of the family. When they leave this life, we mourn them as one of our own. This page is a tribute to those special members of our family who touched our lives, shared our souls, and commandeered our couches.
If one of these hounds were near and dear to your heart, please consider making a memorial donation in their name. All proceeds go to help future hounds race to their forever home.
To have your loved greyhound posted here, send an e-mail with photo and story to tribute@greyhoundadoption.com.

 Asia1998-2008 Loved by Mayme & Paul Gigl On January 18, 2007, we welcomed nine year old Asia, a sweet, loving female greyhound into our home and hearts as a foster dog, and in a few days completed the adoption procedure to make her our own. For eighteen months, she brought such joy to our household that she shared with our four year old male greyhound, Alloway. |

 Austin2000-2009 Loved by Brett & Miranda Smith Austin was my "foster failure". I was a foster mom briefly for greyhounds through CGA and I just could not let him go. He was so spunky and playful, loved the snow, swimming and stealing your half of the sofa. He loved all dogs and his best friend was a cat. He even had some ferret friends for a short time. |

 Belle (DB Terra Belle)2001-2008 Loved by Kay Roberts Belle was my first introduction to the wonderful world of greyhounds. It was my intention to be able to take Belle to meet and greets and events, but she had different plans! Belle was truly a dog snob and would growl and snap at any and all dogs at events. That is where she got one of her nicknames, Witchey Woman. She was a people dog. |

We were given this darling 7 yr old, he had raced in Kansas and won many times, then he broke his left front leg, went through rehab and raced in Denver and won many races but broke his leg again. His owner was going to be driving over the road and could not take along, so he was given to us. |

 Cheyenne1999-2009 Loved by Joan and Bob Solon
Our beautiful greyhound came to us after a hard life on the racetrack. He rewarded us with affection, loyalty and joy, and in return gave him a peaceful and comfortable life filled with love. Cheyenne was an extraordinary creature who taught us much more than we could have ever taught him. |

2001-2008 Loved by the Coke Family We will never forget the first time we laid eyes on our brown-eyed girl. We drove to Denver to pick up our first foster greyhound. All we knew was she was a two-year-old female. When she walked through the doors at the vet’s office, she was white, black, and skittish. |

 Crystal1998-2009 Loved by Michael & Stephanie Inderwiesen
I will never forget the day we went to get Crystal. My wife and I drove to meet the foster family that Crystal was with, the foster mom warned me that she was a little nervous around men. As soon as I walked into the back yard I saw a group of Greyhounds just playing, without a moments hesitation Crystal came up and stood on her hind legs and put her paws on my shoulders, at that moment I knew she was mine.

 Diana and Connie 1999-2007 and 2008 Loved by Jessica These beautiful littermate sisters raced into my heart in 2002. The joy, love, and gentleness they brought with them forever changed my life. While we may wish to keep our greyhound family members with us forever, they are angels on loan and eventually leave us. |

 Dodge (Ico Dodge)1997-2009 Loved by the Lewis Family
The first day I saw Dodge, he was on a walk with his foster, Ray. I knew immediately that he was a special guy, and the way he looked over at me, I think we both knew it was meant to be. We adopted our baby on September 15, 2003, at the age of almost 6. |

 Edith (Jazz Artist)1995-2009 Loved by Jenny Biekert and Jim Warner
Edith lived to be 13 1/2. A shy, seemingly unassuming girl, Edith followed the rules, minded her manners, and didn't hesitate to teach naughty puppies how to mind theirs. She was enthusiastic about her walks and killing squeakers. She went out of her way to make all things easy for us. |
