our foster Greyhound has a "FOREVER-HOME"
Mint was officially adopted yesterday by a young couple. They have another greyhound (also adopted) and wanted a companion for him.

With some tears we said goodbye to Mint and sent her off with a "GOING HOME" present of a coat, toy and a bag of food. We'll miss her, and the new family is mighty lucky to get such a sweetie.

We will probably be taking in another foster greyhound after Thanksgiving -- our schedule from now til then is pretty full.

2. DOGGIE ADOPTIONS - Thank you
Little heroic deeds, like adopting homeless doggies, is what builds character. We have a very grateful doggie living with us.

3. Yay for Mint!!! We have a pound puppy we adopted years ago and she's
the best dog you could ever imagine. Adopt a dog is the way to go.

6. we'll hear from the family
from time to time

the greyhound rescue org. has a GreyHound-Round up Reunion every year

all the adopted dogs are invited to bring their families for a big day of food and fun -- so we will probably see her again then

5. Blessed be
Mint and the lovely humans who adopted her, and you for the love and caring you give to all the Goddess's children. My own nine cats are all rescues, and each morning when I wake to their purrs and snuggling I know how blessed I am. Nothing is more powerful than enacting love in the world.

7. Great news for Mint
My Grey is the best thing that ever happened to me...a sweet 7 yo female. She ran until she was almost 5, then had an oops litter, now she's the keeper of the couches.

How long did you foster Mint?

9. That's so nice of you to foster the dogs
I don't think I'd be a very good foster pet parent; I get attached too easily and could never let them go. Sounds like a very lucky doggie all around. :hi:
