Strauss is adopted!

Only a week after leaving the track behind, Strauss has found her forever home! She was spoken for by the couple who came to visit yesterday afternoon. We took Strauss to her second open house today, and the deal was sealed before I could straighten the "I'm Adoptable" handkerchief around her neck.

Here is Strauss getting pets from the couple's son.

Strauss's new family will be picking her up on Thursday evening, so that they can have a long weekend to acclimate her to their home. Strauss is extremely lucky to have found a greyhound-savvy family with tendencies to spoil (in the good way).

Much to Strauss's chagrin, we remained at the open house afterwards so that Iris would receive some more gentle love-bombing from strangers.

Today's open house was hopping! There were at least three sets of families looking to adopt, and a good turnout of both fosters and ex-fosters.

Iris is still super shy, but she felt loads better after finding the soft blanket and cookies.
