Gina aka Iza Sure Bet finds her forever home :(

Our old girl, Gina, our foster greyhound, found her new forever home today.  She is about 5 minutes from us so that is comforting.  I am happy for her but so sad to see her go; she is a great hound!  Gina was known on the racetrack as Iza Sure Bet.  She was retired when she broke something racing and the KS Greyhound Rescue took her in so that she could retire in style and be somebody's pet.  She first went through their KS Jailhouse Program where she was trained by a prison inmate in KS.  There, she was taught how to sit, stay, lay down, shake, and sing!  She is one smart cookie!  From there, she was adopted out to a nursing home here in Omaha, NE.  She lived for quite awhile at the nursing home until she was too old to be cared for properly..that is how she came to be our foster grey. 

Gina fit right in with our other hounds and Buddy.  She was a sweet girl and loved everybody she came across.  She will be missed by us but she deserves her forever home.  Bittersweet is the only way I can accurately describe today.
