Hello WalkTail Community, We are launching a series of stories about wonderful animals over the next few months. We are so excited to introduce you to our first pups, Luna and Tia! They are absolutely adorable. Keep reading to learn more about these majestic greyhounds. Before jumping into their stories (and pictures), we’d also like to give a huge shout out to their special humans for taking them in and giving them amazing lives. We need more special people like that out there! Adoption Stories Luna: Adopted 11/11/2019 Adopted at 4.5 - currently 7 turning 8 in February Luna had been at Greyhound Rescue for a number of months and had quite a few failed “meet and greets” because she was very reserved and didn’t show too much enthusiasm when people came to meet her. When we went to meet her she ignored us completely and ran straight past us. We weren’t discouraged by this and continued to spend time with her in the rescue’s office area. She continued to ignore us but all of a sudden she jumped up on the couch we were sitting on and slowly sat between us. We took this as a sign that she was the “one” She was extremely affectionate during the hour long car ride home and has been a cuddle bug ever since! Luna has struggled with reactivity to other dogs, this is something we knew prior to adopting her and something we are happy to support her through. She has made amazing progress but is still hesitant with small fluffy pups. About Luna:
Tia: Fostered 20/12/2020 - officially adopted 3/02/2021 Adopted at 9 and turning 12 in October We made the decision to foster a 2nd greyhound and we specifically asked to foster an oldie who needed some TLC. We got the call about Tia who had only been at the rescue for 1 week. Luna came along to meet her so we could make sure there were no major issue’s between the two of them. Tia was extremely nervous and shy but was ok meeting Luna. We brought her home that day and she and Luna resided in 2 separate areas of our home so that Tia could settle in at her own speed. She was extremely nervous for the first few weeks and was very docile. With time and patience Tia began to break out of her shell and show her true personality. We discovered she had issues with her personal space in addition to also being reactive. We felt she may have a hard time finding a suitable home and would likely also be best with a sibling - it was because of this that we decided to sign adoption papers and make her ours forever:) Facts about Tia:
