How to Save a Life
I am a big advocate of rescuing/adopting animals, and I have always adopted cats from the ASPCA group in my area.
But when it comes to dogs, although I did adopt a mutt many years ago from the same SPCA, this time around, I wanted to be more selective.
I did some research, and decided on the greyhound breed, and then I got in contact with Wine Country Greyhound Adoption.
For those who desire a purebred canine, there are many breed-specific groups that will help you find the dog of your dreams. The American Kennel Club has a great list of organizations to use as a starting point.
As with almost anything else in life, be sure to do your homework. Talk to several adoption groups, and in the end, be sure to make the decision that’s right for you and your lifestyle.
This is Greta on the day I took her home–also the first day I ever laid eyes on her.

You are very beautiful, Greta!!! We love your brindle spots! Your human was smart to learn about our breed before giving you a forever home–that way she knew just what to expect. We are very special dogs; as a matter of fact, our humans are very lucky to have us! We’re cute, sweet, funny, and loyal. What more could anyone want? (Even if we do occasionally rip the stuffing out of our toys, chew magazines, and dig holes in the yard.)
Love and wet shnozzes,
Ray & Lucy
Ray & Lucy: Thanks for stopping by!
Yes, Greta has destroyed a coffee table, several books, a CD collection, multiple magazines and too many toys to count. She also loves to dig in the yard.
But hey–we don’t have kids, so I guess it all balances out!
Come back anytime…
Woof!
