Doggie Adventures - Its a Boy!!!

So, as all my friends, Family & Facebook Stalkers Know... The Boyfriend & I have taken the next step in our relationship. We have decided it is time to get a dog. At first we contemplated getting a rescue dog, then we decided on something small and cute... But Then.... after much pondering and consideration we decided that a rescue dog is exactly what We are looking for.  We decided to go with The Maritime Greyhound Adoption Program (MGAP), we have heard a lot of good referrals from them.
  
 So this is how the process went. Step one was that we had to fill out an online application. Within one day we were contacted that we were qualified for the in-home interview (step two). This was fun, so the very next night we met with two greyhound owners and their two beautiful dogs. The interview went great, we got to hang out with the dogs and fell in love almost immediately.  The next day we were referred to step 3, which was the final step. We each had to do online testing and pay our fees and then we would be matched up with our very own grey. They do this based on what we need, want and how the dog would fit into our family.
   
One week later we were matched with a beautiful & handsome greyhound named “Raider Conclude” (thats is racing name). He is all black with white on his belly and his paws are white as well. He is 2 years old so he is a fairly young greyhound.  From his stats that we were given... He was in one race, but did not win. He also comes from a family of racers. His mother & one of his sisters have been adopted out to families in the States & his other 4 Siblings are still racing.  We get to bring our bundle of joy home on the 16th of April. We are very excited!
   
We decided that we wanted to call him “Maverick” its a manly name & we both have an undying live for “TopGun”.  So... Maverick will be with us in two short weeks... and in that time... we will be getting a crate, babygates...lots of food & toys and... reading up on everything Grey Hound!!! Its going to be an adventure.... especially getting our Cat Jack used to another animal. Wish Us Luck.... More info to come.... in the Doggie Adventures!!!!
