Sponsorship Program

The Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest Sponsorship program cares for Senior Greyhounds and Special Needs Greyhounds that are older or have complicated medical conditions. Because these Greyhounds require extra care, their stay in our foster homes may be longer than most. We accept any Greyhound in need, whether the dog was originally placed by Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest or not.

Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest accepts into its foster program any dog with an injury, disease or just old age. This arrangement has enabled these Greyhounds to get the special monitoring they need to find the appropriate medical treatment for each dog. If a senior aged Greyhound does not find an adoptive home, we will care for that dog for the rest of it's life in a loving foster home. Every Greyhound in our program is treated with love, caring and the best medical attention available.

We know that not everyone is able to adopt or foster a Greyhound but you can still help these beautiful creatures. You can become a sponsor for the special dogs in our foster program. Sponsor a Greyhound for yourself or in someone else's name as a gift or memorial. Sponsorship can be rewarding for birthdays, anniversaries, school classrooms, retirement home residents and others who can't adopt their own Greyhound but want to be a part of our effort.

You CAN and WILL make a difference in the life of a Greyhound in need of special care. Your help and support will make a difference . . . one Greyhound at a time.

Hopper is a 2-year old Greyhound who came to us early in June from Florida. He has had two bouts of illness, the last of which put him in ICU for 3 days and almost cost him his life.

Hopper has been evaluated by a cardiologist and neurologist and has been cleared of any heart problems. He is taking anti-seizure medications, Phenobarbital and potassium bromide to minimize the chance of seizures and he is doing well.

Everyone who meets Hopper is charmed by this happy gregarious guy who freely bestows kisses to everyone.

Rambo became very overweight in his first home and then he had seizures. He was taken to the veterinarian where he was treated for the seizures. He was no longer able to stay with his first adopters so Rambo returned to GPA Northwest. He was seen by a neurologist and placed on medication to control his seizures.

Rambo has now had extensive testing to determine whether there is an underlying cause for his seizures but all tests have been negative. That leaves a diagnosis of Idiopathic Epilepsy, which means epilepsy with no underlying cause. That's a good diagnosis and can be treated. Many dogs with seizure disorder live normal lives with few or occasional seizures.

Rambo would love to find a home with people who would take care of him and give him his medications daily. He is a very nice dog and would be a good pet for someone that can spend time with him so he is not alone a lot during the day.
