Port Moody Greyhounds

What a spectacular day… we are finally experiencing some sun!

Thank you to Dave, his wife Nadine, son Riley and friend Greg for coming to help walk the pups. Lorena, thank you for ALL you do for us! Michael brought newly adopted Hogan, his sister Mona had Mini the pug (who is doing so very well with all those big dogs!). Sharon was there with Ava, Miles, Jake and Buffy (who she is looking after for Tisha and family currently in England!). Kathleen brought her beloved girl Sugar and Geoff and I had our three monkeys. Altogether we had 10 dogs!

The following photographs will tell the story of what we do… and why we love it so much!

The scenery en route to Golden…

The next morning, Susan arrives from Alberta with Hogan. Thank you so much Susan!

Hogan does a little “happy dance”!

What a handsome fellow!

The hotel’s resident dog comes to check things out…

“No worries, Uncle Geoff”.

“See”.

“He just thinks I’m the ultimate ‘Cool Dude’ and wants to know what my secret is”.

“I tell him it’s all in the body language”.

The last part of Hogan’s journey is with Geoff and I in the “Greyhoundmobile”.

Hogan meeting his new Dad, Michael and Michael’s Mom, Maureen and sister, Mona! He is now a proud resident of New Westminster, BC!

Michael is a very happy new greyhound Dad. This adoption has been months in the works. We needed to find him just the right dog and Hogan is it!!!

Hogan meeting Kato and Mini for the first time. Always best to do introductions during a walk on neutral territory.

Hogan being introduced to his new crate. He’ll have a short rest, a bite to eat and then be guided through the rest of his new home.

Maybe just grab a couple of winks first…

Thank you for sharing our latest adoption with us.

If you can’t swim with the dolphins, come walk with the greyhounds! Please call Sharon at 778-388-3807 to make arrangements to meet up. We have 4 organized walks every weekend along the spectacular Port Moody Inlet Trails!

Future adopter Leslie has taken some stunning pictures during the walks along the Port Moody Inlet trails! Thank you Leslie, they are breathtaking!

Here is Musie, WOW!

Tisha also sent me these spectacular photos of her stunning boy. Jakie was adopted last November and is thoroughly enjoying the sunshine we are (finally) experiencing on the west coast!

What a looker!

Geoff and I are doing another mini haul this weekend! We will be bringing one (and possibly 2) lucky hounds to their forever homes in BC. Pictures will be forth coming.

Thank you to Maureen (who recently adopted Pearl and Chase) who came by bearing gifts… tulips and a very generous donation!

Special and heart felt thanks to the stars of the day, our greyhounds, who were so careful to love on all who stopped by!

Thanks!

Just a reminder we will be at the North Vancouver PetSmart, 1325 Main St. North Vancouver, on April 16th between 12:30 and 2:30 PM.

We have decided not to bring BC foster Loffe along. He is just too young, playful and too easily distracted to try and keep him contained in such an active and stimulating environment. He can be viewed by calling me at 778-355-9090 or emailing me at annieswift@shaw.ca.

Here are a few more pics of the stunning boy:

Please do come and meet our darling BC foster Peanut, though. She is such a sweetheart and her only desire in life is to bestow all her love and affection on you.

Can’t swim with the dolphins??? Come walk with the greyhounds! Please call Sharon at 778-388-3807 to make arrangements. We have 4 organized walks every weekend.
