"Clover" Safe Crest 11/05/93 to 07/16/07 Adopted by Stacey McCarty, May '03 Rescued Racers, St. Louis, MO

"Chachi" 09/2004 to 12/14/07 Adopted by David Bristow, 09/08/07 GPA Tri-State

"My boy Chachi wasn't with me long, but he left a huge paw print on my heart. He had the retirement thing down pat even though he never raced. His big brown eyes were always bright and those curled ears could charm the treats right out of my hand. He was a great playmate and big brother to Karma, who misses her rough-house buddy. I lost my "Chach-meister" way too early and miss him terribly. I know he has made many fast friends at the bridge"

"Clover brought unparalleled beauty and intense devotion into my life. She was a one-person dog and I am honored to have been that person."

"Wolfie" Wolfrate 07/12/00 to 07/07/08 Fostered by the Allen family and Stacey McCarty GPA Tri-State

"Wolfie was a rare dog with a sweet, trusting, patient personality underscored with an incredibly strong will. His battle with cancer was fought with dignity and the determination to live life to the fullest. Cancer may have won over his body but his soul is unconquerable. He left part of himself in the hearts of everyone who loved and cared for him."

"Darrin" Smurf's Dente 03/01/93 to 07/25/07 Adopted by Stacey McCarty, June '03 GPA Tri-State

"Darrin was a regal dog whose resilience and strength made it possible for him to enjoy 4 years with me after his former owner relinquished him. He sometimes showed an unexpected streak of playfulness and good humor. He quickly warmed up to new people and charmed everyone with his insistent requests for attention."

"Mama" AMF Big Mama 08/18/03 to 11/03/08 GPA Tri-State

"Mama came to us straight from her racing kennel and was a rather quiet and very shy little girl.  Once she started settling in, she blossomed under the guidance and care of her foster families and learned very quickly what friends she truly had here.  She loved to sneak on the furniture and even into bed in the middle of the night if she found an empty spot. She always adjusted well and loved to play with stuffies and other dogs.  Mama touched the hearts of all who knew her, especially those who got to spend the most time getting to know her as they fostered her.  A battle with osteo took this beautiful girl away from us way too soon.  She will always be loved and greatly missed by her GPA Tri-State family."

"Enzo" Damage Down 07/05/01 to 11/26/08 Adopted by Fr. Larry Hostetter, Dec '03 GPA Tri-State

"Just as there are complex and intelligent people, so too in the Greyhound world.  Enzo was one of those complex and intelligent beings who added grace, affection, and excitement to my life.  We understood each other, and for that he will be sorely missed."
