Our new fur baby.... [View all]

Our family lost a fur baby this year and we’ve been feeling the loss for weeks. We recently were walking through our local pet store picking up a few things for our shi-tzu when I felt a nose nuzzle me on my side. That was the moment we were introduced to the soulfulness of the greyhound. We made a decision to adopt a racing greyhound and our journey of adoption came to fruition on Saturday. At the end of our home visit, I’d love to tell you that we chose our baby, but, in fact he chose us. Our baby boy, Dylan, has been an amazing addition to our family. He’s still getting used to his knew home, but he’s already bonding to his fam. I couldn’t help but share a pic of this amazing animal with you guys!
