Percy 9-22-15 to 4-11-24
Many people loved sweet, sweet Percy. Top of the list is his adoptive family, the David and Brenda Lieurance Family. He was also loved by his aunt in Texas, Becky Ritz. Percy, you had such thick brindle fur. I loved to brush you when I came to Ohio to visit. Also missed by his canine family: Dominator (Dom), Ziva, Domino, and Buckeye.

Gigi (CTW Ann Wolfe)
Gigi crossed the Rainbow Bridge January 8, 2024. She was 15. She started life as a Texas girl, but spent the majority of her years dodging snowflakes with us in Michigan. We witnessed the transformation of a scared, spooky girl into a warm, sympathetic, graceful lady. We miss her deeply.

In Memory of Barbie (Deco Barbette)
We lost our beautiful Barbie on Friday, September 15th, 2023, due to the negligence of a vet tech from a blood draw in her neck for thyroid check!! We miss her so much!! She was healthy, happy, and loved to play with her toys. She loved her boiled egg every morning. She loved to play with her big pillows in the den and on the patio. She would twist and rearrange them, rub her face on them and always with her butt in the air. She loved to lay in the sun to get her vitamin D. She loved to run zoomies in the backyard or run down to the creek area at the base of our yard and bark at anything she suspected was there. She loved to play with her little, big sister, Bentlea (a Maltese). She loved going on walks around the neighborhood and loved to ride in the car with her head out the window. She found her little brother, Tripp, interesting, but let him know he was not allowed in her bed. She loved to rearrange the beds behind mommy's desk, which is what she was doing before we left for the vet that day. She liked to take her half in the middle. She was everything to us and we are devastated. Bentlea and Tripp are grieving, too. Her daddy would sing to her, "You are my brown-eyed girl." RIP our beautiful baby until we meet again!

In Memory of Kisa
Kisa was a beautiful therapy dog who entertained many people at DFW airport since 2013. She was always dressed beautifully, usually in a full pedi. Not only was she an "ambassador" at DFW, but she was also a worthy ambassador for the Greyhound breed, demonstrating the usefulness of the purebred dog to man.

In Memory of Scarlet
Scarlet AKA Flying Scarlet, who would have turned 15 in November, very peacefully crossed over the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon to be reunited with Zilla, Iris and Isabella. What a gallant sweet Greyhound Scarlet was. She was a very successful racer in Palm Beach then went on to have 33 puppies! She has earned her eternal peace and new life. Her last years were tough on her, arthritis and constant inflamed gum problems slowed her down, but not her spirit or affection for everyone she met. She was a tough, affectionate member of my household for the past six years. She will be sorely missed and leaves a big void in my heart. Enjoy your reunion with Zilla, Iris and Isabella beautiful girl. We'll be reunited again soon! Love Dad.

In Memory of Lily Ann Blackwell FNA Fine Frenzy
With much love in memory of my beautiful white and red brindle girl Lily (FNA Fine Frenzy). She ran two races at Gulf Greyhound Park, then raced into my heart and onto my sofa. I had to let her go almost exactly 10 years to the day she came into my life. She enjoyed other people, but I was her person. Run fast and free at the bridge until we meet again.

August 18, 2021; To Greyhounds Unlimited: I would like to give this $100 donation in memory of my baby granddaughters greyhound that recently passed away. This dog was a rescue, and that baby girl loved her dog, and that dog loved her baby girl. She slept by her baby bed every night and always had to know where the baby was. When they traveled, the dog bed was in the back right by her baby. This dog was so loved by the whole family. This is actually the 2nd recue greyhounds my son and daughter-in-law have had. My nephew also use to have rescue greyhounds. He raised about 7 of them. I've found them to be an awesome dog! My hope is this will help towards someone else adopting a rescue (and that maybe it will be my son and daughter-in-law getting another one for my granddaughter!!). They got this las dog from foster parents Micky and Doug Nielsen.

Ever the perfect gentleman, Nick was the recipient of many awards in his life as a champion show dog, until retiring to live happily in the Saleh household.

Fur sisters, Olive, Sade and his many human friends who loved him will miss him very much.

In Memory of Cara Ann "Carrie" Bonawitz, MD
It is fitting that "Carrie" loved greyhounds. She had a lot in common with these lovely, graceful, and athletic creatures. There is a sweet intelligence behind their eyes that can set a person at ease. It is said that Greyhounds just like to be loved for who they are, and although they are beautiful and talented, they do not put on airs. This is how we will remember Our Carrie. And this is how we will miss her, too.

In Memory of Cara Ann Savage Bonawitz MD
Cara Ann Savage Bonawitz MD passed away 3/28/2020 at her home in Richardson, TX, born January 15th, 1968 in Erie PA. It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our loved one. Although we were not able to say goodbye, your friends and family are beyond proud of all your accomplishments and especially your loving soul. No one can take away the memories of this full of life, intelligent, and beautiful woman. Fly on sweet angel. Cara graduated from Mercyhurst Prep and was a foreign exchange student in Germany her junior year. Playing soccer in Germany only propelled her dominance and offensive execution on the soccer field. She attended Rochester University where she earned an undergraduate degree in Pre-Med. Cara played soccer for the University of Rochester women’s team. The team won the 1987 NCAA Division III Championship, only losing one game that season. Cara then attended Penn State College of Medicine and completed her residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the University of North Carolina, finally becoming an Interventional Radiologist. She practiced at various locations in Virginia, Indiana and Texas over 20 years. She is proceeded in death by her mother, Cynthia Savage and father Greg Savage. She is survived by her stepfather Everett McAninch, aunts Lynda Miller (David), Rhonda Lewis (Vern), Maria Savage (Jeff), uncle Rick Rudenski (Belinda), cousins Rhonda Truitt (Stephan Terrill), William Truitt (Susan), and Bethe Carlson (Jonathan) and also her beloved Greyhounds, Zuma and Zane. Burial arrangements will be handled by Duskas Funeral Home in Erie, PA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Greyhounds Unlimited www.greyhoundsunlimited.org. A celebration of Cara’s life will be held when family and friends are able to gather together again.

Sweet Hope, a perfectly healthy 12yo, left so quick and unexpectedly, for the Rainbow Bridge. She was only here for 2 months, given up by a previous owner. She came to me with Cassie, and the two became fast friends. A shy girl, she was fast becoming a velcro girl, like her "sister". She loved to "watch the world go by" at the upstairs window. She is so missed by both of us. May she love her new home and run free without pain with all the others before her.

Sweet Miguel crossed the Rainbow Bridge 3-08-19 at the age of 10yo. Miguel had a rough start in life that affected him throughout his life. He was easily intimidated even though he helped many fosters and permanent siblings learn the life of a grey. He particularly loved his morning walks and special treats. We know he is having a ball with those who went before him. Run free with your friends — we’ll see each other one day.

In Memory of Miss Ellen 12/11/05 - 02/03/19
Miss Ellen lived a lot longer than many greys. She had a good racing career, and when she retired from racing, went to be a brood mom until 11yo, then finally retired. She took full advantage of the retired life, lazing on her bed and getting lots of good walks in to enjoy smelling things and all things that were good in life. Our home was so blessed to have had her for even such a short time. She is now running free and loving the friends that went before her. Love being free from pain, sweet girl — we’ll see you one day.
— Miss you — Ricky Polcer and brother, Miguel
