The day we adopted Hunter we went out to a farm out Redlands Road to the East of Oregon City to see him and another dog to see how they would accept Quammie. Either dog was fine with Q but we picked H because we liked him and he was ready to be adopted and the other dog still needed to be spayed so would not be ready for another month. While we were there we had the opportunity to see a couple of 3 month old Greyhound pups. They were interested in smelling Quammie. The pups had tons and tons of energy !!
Greyhound Pet Adoptions NW gets the dogs from two locations. One is right off the track in Tucson and the other is from a breeder in Kansas. Obviously, each site is many miles away and requires a marathon drive to get them. A three person team drive non-stop back and forth pulling a special trailer that is similar to a livestock trailer but smaller and better insulated. The team takes turns driving, navigating and sleeping to get the job done and when the trip is completed 20+ Greyhounds have a new outlook on life.
