I just wanted to take a moment to say that the kennel and the staff are AWESOME!!!!!!!! Very Happy yahoo Thank you to all the kennel helper outers and to Blanche and Debbie with my first fostering endeavor. Blanche was able to e-mail me all the possibilities for my foster… which was tricky since I have two small dogs, a cat, a bird and a princess of a greyhound…. Once I arrived at the Kennel with my “test dog” (one of the small ones I own) the people there were excellent. We needed to test to make sure that the dog I took was small dog safe, and they did so by bringing out each of my five possibilities out to us…. Although Willow did not enjoy having her butt sniffed five times, I thought that the experience was great, and everyone was so friendly… Even after we had left the kennel and in the safety of my home, I found that Blanche and Debbie are ALWAYS available to help out and answer questions………now about my Foster…. That is to be continued as I need to gather my thoughts and take some great pictures to make sure I represent him properly… more to follow…. But I can’t thank everyone enough!!!!!!!

This is great!!!! yahoo
I was actually planning to go see "Prize" at the kennel but I ended up going to see "Stormy" instead. We all know what happened...
What a lucky dog to have such a great home to be in... PLEASE post lots of pictures!

Prize is a wonderful greyhound and is drop dead beautiful. I am so glad to hear you are fostering him.

You are so right...the folks at the kennel are AWESOME!!!! Dancing Blanche has always been there to answer any of my questions & concerns, and the volunteers can't be beat!

Prize is one gorgeous looking boy! You'd better be very cautious...you might find yourself failing fostering.Laughing

Looking forward to updates & plenty of photos. Good for you fostering Prize! He's a winner!

Yeah, Rick & I are wonderful with fostering. . . . Miles, Pumba, Leo, Toby. Failed, failed, failed, failed. But it did allow me to see that I cannot foster and survive.

Kendra, once you post pictures and info I will make up a document to send to all the M&G leads so they can put Prize in their M&G book. And once he has a home let the Welcome Waggin' team know and they will follow up with a goodie bag.
