Sam (Naxsspeed), was born November 8th, 1998. He passed onto the Rainbow Bridge on July 12th, 2011. We first saw Sam on the Greyhound Connection website in August, 2004, the same time we applied for adoption. Sam was the sweet lovable greyhound that was our match. We adopted him on September 6th, 2004. That was the day our lives were to change forever. The 7 short years we have had Sam have been the best of our lives. He gave us love and joy. You were never alone at home with Sam in the room. His mere presence was comforting, his antics hysterical, his personality enchanting. Sam, we will miss you forever. We love you.

Marley:

Goodbye sweet boy. You were so nervous the day we adopted you, and we fell in love with you immediately. Mary Kate, our greyhound girl, did her happy dance the day you arrived to stay. You were such a soft and gentle soul. All our friends loved you too. Irene says: “I will miss your eyes looking lovingly at me and the way you tapped me with your nose to say, “Mom, here I am. Please pet me.” I look forward to the day when you and Chevy come running to greet me and we walk together forever across the Rainbow Bridge.” Jim misses seeing you waiting for him at the top of the stairs to greet him when it was time for bed.

Irene and Jim Dunny

Ramona was a galga rescued from a warehouse in Spain where she was locked in with her two sons, one being Telma Shaw's boy Amistad. Ramona never made it to the U.S. but instead lived at the shelter, Scooby Medina in Spain as a privledged "Patio Dog". Ramona succumbed to kidney failure and crossed gently over the bridge May, 2010. I wish I had met you Ramona, I thank you for your precious boy Amistad, who has brought us so much love and enjoyment word can't even express. Run free mamma, we will be with you some day.

Love, the Shaw clan




Cartier Dana with the Grey Fab Five
Cartier, a special greyhound
09/04/2001 – 05/26/2010

Dana Provost adopted Cartier about a year ago through Greyhound Adoption Group who brought him into their group once he arrived to the US from Guam. His track name was Bolt. He was a special needs boy and found a wonderful home with Dana in Las Vegas. Here is what Dana says about this very special boy, who she recently lost to kidney failure.

Cartier came into the world as a pauper. Many, many rescue angels had their hands in rescuing this boy from Guam. The spider web began . . . interconnecting his soul with whoever touched him, who gave care to him, vetted him and who brought him to the day I adopted him. I am thankful to everyone who helped him get to me. The spider web continued through his ability to touch people from all over the world through various contests he was in. He became a registered therapy dog. He won the Cesar Millan national photo face contest, local polished pooch contest, and numerous costume contests. He was the greytest greyhound ambassador of all. He loved everyone who touched him and I was so blessed to have had Cartier in my life. He passed away a prince. He will never be forgotten.
