I was asked to foster a five year old greyhound tuxedo boy on an emergency basis just a couple weeks after losing my beloved grey. I was his fourth foster home and couldn't pass him on. He was with me for eight years. It looks like Sam is feeling pretty at home and Scout seems to like him. . .

Hello friends I've never met, I don't know about your situation, but it sure looks like YOU are already the perfect family for Sam. Do I see a "Foster fail"? I hope so! He already looks so comfortable and so does Scout. ❤❤❤ I know it's hard after your loss, however I think Magnus would approve. Maybe he even sent Sam to you. Just my opinion, I hope you consider it. Our grey, Billy, was a Foster fail of ours. Have a lovely day. Have fun at the picnic. I wish I could go. Love your videos! Cathie, Washington State, USA Volunteer Greyhound pets of America- NW

Hi from John, Beth, Danielle, and our delicious beautiful brindle greyhound Violet in Brooklyn, New York. We have coined a new phrase regarding greyhounds inspecting bags brought into the house with their snouts. We call it: A GRUSTOMS INSPECTION. "Grustoms" being a combination of Greyhound & Customs. Love to Miss Scout and Mr Sam. May they continue to make you both and all those who watch your heartwarming videos smile. John Landers Brooklyn, NY

I'm so happy to see you folks showing what lovely companions greyhounds can be. My local rescue, Greyhound Pets NW (Oregon USA) is taking fosters from Ireland. My hope is that interested adopters in the UK would consider giving a local home to the dogs coming out of that industry. I'm happy for Scout, too. I bet it gives her purpose to show any "new" companions the good life they can enjoy. It took me quite a lot of time naming all my dogs--but the names seemed to come naturally. One of my boys was named Magnus as well. Respect to you and much love to your adorable crew. ❤

Your sweet Sam looks just like our foster greyhound Rocky, who has two crossed ears, sometimes like a Frida crown and sometimes like a hat with a feather 😂. We have only had him since January this year and came to us with a skin condition and a bit wary, but he was roaching by day three, he is an 8.5 year old darling and loves walking (we were told he doesn't like walking), watching our every move and being in the kitchen whenever food is being prepared. He is a big brindle softy and so happy now, we know that fostering means not forever and keep that in mind, but for now he is comfortable, happy and living his best life with us. Happy fostering 🥰
