I have so much news, I don’t know where to start! LOL
Alexi, the Born to Run Global Sighthound Rescue Borzoi, was going to be adopted by a wonderful Chinook Winds adopter in Alberta… we just had to get him there! Geoff and I took a drive down to Custer, Wa. with Shale, to pick him up at Xan and Humphrey’s acreage. They had made the trip to Portland, Oregon earlier that day to fetch him! Thanks, guys!
Before putting Alexi and Shale together, we thought we’d let them burn off some energy in separate areas! Did they ever enjoy themselves!
Once they were both pooped, we brought Alexi in to the larger paddock to meet Shale and another South Korean Borzoi rescue, Katie. Katie (previously called Korean Breeze and then Coco) was our foster girl for 4 months and we adored her. She was adopted by Xan and Humphrey in December, where she is the reigning (and a wee bit spoilt) princess lording it over greyhounds Pogo and Brilly. She has an awesome life with them!
Then it was time to come back to Canada.
A few hours later, Geoff and I drove with Alexi and Shale to meet up with Leah and Bill in Salmon Arm. They brought us 3 beautiful hounds that were headed to preapproved homes in BC., and they were taking Alexi the rest of his way to Alberta and his new Mom, Ilona!

Leah and Bill brought the greyhounds over to our room after everyone had been fed.
Here is handsome Thane!

The following morning, Alexi continued on with Leah and Bill and we started towards home. Some very excited families were waiting for their new greyhounds!
Thane was such a good traveller.
Flora was adorable, but did attempt to drive a couple of times. LOL
Shale was bored with the whole thing!
Velo and Flora (who are the best of friends) snuggled the whole way back. Sweet!
And then we arrived in Port Moody and everyone met their new family members!

Now that you know who everyone is…
And the last photo of the day, BFFs Velo and Flora.
Thank you for sharing the joy! There is nothing more gratifying than bringing amazing dogs and wonderful families together.
Unfortunately, we have had to suspend our organized greyhound walks. Sharon’s beloved hounds are older now and no longer able to go for any distance. I am sure you all join me in thanking Sharon for the years that she headed these walks!
