Greyhound Adoptions of Florida

After losing our first greyhound (sweet Spiderman) in April of this year, our family felt incomplete without the clicking of canine toenails around the house. I knew I wanted another sweet greyhound to be a part of our family, but my sons were more cautious to open their hearts again. Spiderman's sudden death was very hard on all of them.

However, this summer our family decided to foster some greyhounds for a project that my oldest son worked on for school (please see the upcoming December GAF newsletter for his perspective on his project). When Karla and Sammy came to visit, not only did we fall in love with them, but they fell in love with each other! The boysand I were unanimous - they were meant to become a part of our family.

Now that Sammy and Karla are settled in, they act like an old married couple. She steals the toys and he grunts and rolls his eyes. She tries to eat his food and he rambles off, giving her what she wants. What one sniffs in the yard, the other has to sniff too. And then at night, they snuggle in, like they've been together forever.

It is such a joy to come home at the end of a long day and see Sammy's toothy smile. He greets us each day with love and excitement that is so unique to greyhounds. And not far behind him will be Karla, waiting patiently for her love. We feel like our family is whole again, with the addition of these two beautiful greyhounds. Thank you Marilyn and everyone at Greyhound Adoptions of Florida.
