Good w/ Children:

Fostered by (location):
Augusta, GA
Adoption Status: Adopted by the Covard family of Graniteville SC 8/10/15

Cisco came from the Birmingham Race Track adoption kennel. He raced only 2 schooling races at Tri State in WV in December of 2012, then was moved to Birmingham AL. No official races on him that we could find at that track. Cisco was adopted out from the adoption kennel there and had been in an adoptive home for a little while. He was returned to the adoption kennel in Birmingham because he was "afraid of the dark". They ended up sending him to our group and we figured out that it wasn't really fear of the dark, it is just that he doesn't want to go outside unless another dog is with him, day or night. In spite of not wanting to go outside to potty he would hold it forever in the house and rarely had an accident. Cisco is a very good boy that tries hard to please. He has done great with other dogs around and regularily goes for walks even in the dark as long as another dog is there for company. Cisco's sire is Afleet Alex and his dam is Kelsos Corkhill. He turned 4 on November 12th. So far Cisco has been a very calm, friendly guy that likes everyone and is a super sweet guy. His foster homes have been tempted to keep him because he is so easy to fall in love with. Cisco passed his small dog tests but needs a home without cats. He is a very quiet boy in his kennel so may be a good choice for apartment or townhouse living. He just needs to be in a home with at least one other dog to help his confidence. Cisco is home acclimated, very loving and super cute! He would be an easy first or 5th greyhound.

Doby in Salisbury, NC
Adoption Status: Adopted to the Przybylowski Family 8/8/15

Sheldon just arrived from the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville FL. He raced 8 races at Derby Lane but didn't do well at that track so was moved to Orange Park. He broke his front leg in his first race there. So he only had a total of 9 races and never won one of them. One of our volunteers is his racing owner. His racing owner has already had surgery done on his leg before we got him and the surgery went very well. His owner has already has kept several retired racers as pets at her home so Sheldon will be available for adoption as he is healed and cleared to be adopted by our vets. That should be in July. Sheldon's sire is USS Raceway and his dam is Bow Fine Tune. He is a larger guy that raced at 79lbs. Sheldon just turned 2 on February 17th so is pretty young. Sheldon is a little timid when being handled and having his splint changed so far. He will have plenty of experience with handling by the time his leg heals up with at least 2 splint changes a week. More as we get to know him.

Edison raced at 74 lbs so he is a mid-sized male. His sire is Bob's Skeet and his dam is Elsie Bones. He turned 3 on January 29th. He is calm and submissive, but very friendly, going up to most people for love. Edison passed his cat and small dog tests so should be OK to live with either. He is being fostered in a home with both. His trainer brought her young boys into the kennel so all the dogs are used to being around kids. More as we get to know him.

Fostered by (location):

Adoption Status: Adopted by the Dusenberry Family of Hendersonville NC 8/9/15

Biscuit came in from a Daytona Beach Race Track Kennel closing. He is a tiny, black male that raced at just 62lbs. He only raced 27 races in Daytona and Sanford Orlando. His sire is Gable Sour Cream and his dam is Sovereign Lady. Biscuit just turned 2 on May 25th so is a young guy. He has a beautiful black, muscular boy. Biscuit is a friendly, waggy guy that is a lot of fun and has a lot of personality. He enjoys belly rubs and flops over on his side for them. He tried to climb in his foster mom's lap when she was sitting on the couch - good thing he is a small boy! Like most greyhounds can be a bit dramatic if he thinks it will help him get out of doing something he doesn't want to do. He is mostly quiet in his crate but he has started complaining a bit about being in the crate sometimes so may not be a good choice for an apartment. Biscuit passed his cat and small dog test so should be able to live with either. This is a goofy boy that will keep life interesting. His trainer had 3 boys that were at his racing kennel a lot so he is used to being around kids. Cute cute boy! He is a very loving guy! Biscuit may need a home where he can be with another large dog or greyhound because he has seemed stressed when by himself.

Fostered by (location):

Adoption Status: Adopted to the Lawrence Family of Duncan Sc 8/7/15

Banjo is a handsome stocky boy that raced at 73lbs. He just retired from the Daytona Race Track after 91 races. Banjo is an active, bouncy, outgoing boy that would be perfect for an active family that likes to go and do things with their dogs. He is very friendly and has never met a stranger according to his trainer and is very goofy and silly. Banjo's sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and his dam is Trophy Collector. Banjo has been around his trainers kids and loves kids but because he is so active and bouncy we think he would do better in a home without tiny kids that could be easily knocked down by a big excited dog. Banjo did easily pass his cat and small dog tests so should be able to live in a home with either.

Cat Tolerance:
Yes
Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes
Fostered by (location):
Snyder Family of Anderson
Adoption Status: Adopted by the Snyder family of Anderson 7/31/15

Hal is a red fawn male pup that is very happy, goofy and friendly and because he is so young he is a higher energy guy. He has a great personality and has been described as "personality plus". He is still very young and just turned 1 in October. Hal never was officially registered to race due to an injury he got on the farm playing with his littermates. He ran into something and did nerve damage to his shoulder that caused the muscle to atrophy. It is an older injury that is long healed and just makes his shoulder look less muscled on one side than the other. He fell down some stairs in his first home and broke a different leg which was surgically repaired and totally healed now. Pups are clumsy and pups that can run 40 mph can injure themselves when playing. In spite of his previous injuries Hal is strong and loves to play and go for walks. He is fine to run around and play with other dogs and would love to have a home with a big fenced yard that he can run around in. Hal's sire is RA Blazer and his dam is WW's Kunina. Hal did pass his cat test and small dog test. We love his beautiful eyes that match his coat. He is settling into foster care very well and doing well with the cats and even the chickens at his foster home. He does try to play with cats and is a little big for that. He would do better in a home with medium sized or large dogs to play with. He is a smart boy and can learn that he is too big to play with the cats or tiny dogs especially if he has larger dogs to play with instead. Hal should do well in just about any home and will be a very loving devoted guy that will make his family laugh on a daily basis. Hal loves to chase a ball and will bring it back most of the time. Hal can be vocal in his kennel so probably would not be a good apartment dog. He loves kids.

Betty just arrived from the Daytona Beach Race Track where she raced 57 races. Her kennel just closed and we are helping move the dogs into adoption groups. Betty is a small girl that raced at 56lbs and she will turn 3 on Nov 7th. She has the cutest ears that stand straight up sometimes. Her sire is the famous Kiowa Mon Manny and her dam is Sobe Queens Row. Betty has a wonderful personality and is very outgoing and loves attention. She gives plenty of kisses in return. Betty loves squeaky toys, and goes up and down stairs already like a champ. She goes to her crate on her own at night to go to sleep and is starting to learn how to ring bells on the door when she needs to go outside. She was interested in the cats at first in her foster home, but now sleeps in bed with the cats and is very good with them. She can be a little loud in her crate sometimes so may not be a good apartment dog. Her trainer took her kids to work with her in the kennel so she is used to being around children. Her foster home loves her and says her personality is A+++

Good w/ Children:

Fostered by (location):
Johnson in Greenville, SC
Adoption Status: Adopted by the Freeman/Smith Family of Gastonia NC 7/24/15

Mandate just arrived from the adoption kennel at the Sanford Orlando race track. He has been there since he retired in March waiting on an adoption group or adopter to pick him. Because he is a big black male, he was overlooked. He raced at Southland in Arkansas and Derby Lane in Fl too. He raced 51 races but didn't win many. Mandate is a shiny, black boy that is very tall. He only raced at 76lbs but towers over most other greyhounds because of the length of his legs. He is just stunning with a personality to match. He was an adoption kennel favorite because of his great personality - friendly and fun- without being hyper or obnoxious. He is a silly boy that loves people. He doesn't seem to have any problem sharing space with other dogs and humans. The other dogs on the haul didn't want him to lay down close to them so he stood most of the way to avoid trouble. When he finally found a spot to lay down he never fussed at any of the other dogs for stepping on him or bothering him. His sire is the very famous Kiowa Mon Manny and his dam is Soda Sipper. Mandate passed his cat and small dog test easily and didn't seem to be interested in chasing either. He responded well to the baby in his foster home too. So far he has been very quiet in his kennel so might be a good apartment dog. This is a drop dead gorgeous guy with a personality to match! More as we get to know him.

Adoption Status: Adopted by the Del Aguila Family of Atlanta GA 7/23/15

Money is a 62lb female that raced only 19 races in Sarasota and Birmingham. Although she was fast, she interfered with the other dogs when they were racing, intentionally bumping them or playing with them. That isn't allowed, so Money was forced into retirement and not allowed to race anymore in July of 2013. She was sent back to the farm then to be a mom. She was blind in one eye already because of an injury but her owners noticed that her good eye was becoming cloudy too. She was diagnosed with Pannus which can cause blindness if not treated with drops. So she was retired from her mom duties and came in as a special order for a family that owns her littermate in Atlanta. Money will need drops the rest of her life to keep from going completely blind. She is a very calm, sweet friendly girl that doesn't mind having the ointment put in her eye. Money's sire is BD's Herby and her dam is WW Gale Finance. Money turns 4 on September 7th.

She was good getting up to AA at Southland. Her sire is B's O'Grady and her dam is UCME Smoke N Ace. Sweet Tea turned 4 on March 14th. She did not pass her cat test at the track and seems too interested in very small dogs that look like bunnies to be able to live with them. Sweet Tea is settling in well in her foster home. She is very friendy and affectionate and loves people. She likes to play with toys and will even fetch the toys. At first she was uncomfortable being around very young kids that approached her but has done much better with exposure to more kids and is fine now. Sweet Tea is a very sweet loving girl that will make a fantastic pet for a lucky family.

Farm just arrived from the Daytona Race Track where he only raced one race. He had raced 19 races before that at the Melbourne Track but only ever won one of them. His Daytona kennel is closing so after he came in last in his first official race they decided to retire him. He is young and won't turn 2 until October 12th.  He is a short, stocky, muscular guy racing at 77lbs. Farm's sire is Kiowa Wish Frank and his dam is Kiowa Fuzzy Abby. He is a handsome guy that is mostly white with a lot of freckles and one big spot on his face. He loves meeting new people and seems to be a very outgoing friendly guy. He is calm and quiet in his crate. He has calmed down nicely after the first few days in his foster home and has settled right in. He gets a little excited at first and pulls some on the leash when you first go for walks, but then calms down and is very good after a few minutes. This is a fun guy that would love to go and do whatever you were doing with you. Farm was a little too interested in cats to pass his cat test but he did fine with the small dog in his foster home. He is used to being around kids because his track trainer had 3 young boys that she took with her to the kennel.  More as we get to know him.

Ember just arrived from the Daytona Beach Track where she raced 14 races. She also raced 10 races at Wheeling in WV. She is coming to us because her kennel is closing. She never won a race so she probably would have retired quickly anyway. Ember raced at 61lbs so is a mid-sized girl. She is still young and won't turn 2 until September 19th. Her sire is Pluto Tyme and her dam is Flying Aflame. At the kennel Ember was described as friendly, playful and fun, not overly active, but not a total couch potato either. She is a very friendly, happy girl that is becoming one of her foster families favorite fosters. Ember passed her cat and small dog tests and is being fostered in a home with cats. She has been around the 3 young sons of her track trainer so is used to being around kids. She is happy, cheerful and bouncy and very curious about everything. Ember is the rare greyhound that might actually have watch dog potential. She does bark if she hears something going on outside that is different. She is far to sweet to actually be a guard dog but she might at least alert you when something was amiss.

He raced in Melbourne, Derby Lane and Sanford Orlando and had just been moved to Daytona when the kennel closed so never actually raced there. He is described as calm guy that is very friendly. He traveled well and was so laid back that we think the name Chill really fits him. He slept quietly in his crate all night the first night in his foster home. He wasn't worried about the fireworks going off. He goes to the back door and stares at it when he needs to go out. Chill is good with the small dogs in his foster home and is curious about the children and very calm and gentle. He was around his trainers 3 kids in his racing kennel.

Fostered by (location):

Adoption Status: Adopted by the Owens Family of Columbia SC 7/15/15

Gracie just arrived. She was returned because of issues within her family and not because of anything she did. She has been in an adoptive home for over 4 years so is home acclimated. Gracie never raced. We aren't sure why she didn't race but she has a deformed nail and a corn on one toe that could have caused her problems when running. She doesn't limp most of the time but a long walk on a hard surface like concrete is probably going to bother her. Grass or soft dirt is much better and she will probably love short walks on any surface. Her sire is the very famous Dodgem By Design and her dam is Greys Run About. She just celebrated her 6th birthday on June 2nd. Since she has been returned Gracie has seemed sad and overwhelmed. She does wag her tail some and seems like she will be a friendly girl once she gets over the shock of losing her family. Gracie lived with cats in her previous home and she is doing great with small dogs in her foster home. She doesn't act like she has been crated in her previous home and may not need one. She does complain loudly about being in one but is quiet otherwise.

Breeze originally came to us from the Ebro race track. She was a good racer that raced an amazing 234 races, at Sarasota, Sanford Orlando and Ebro. She was a top level A racer that raced at 60lbs. Breeze is a littermate to dogs we already placed and we have waited quite awhile to get her. She turned 5 on July 14th and is one of the rare greyhounds that raced passed 5 years old. Most retire earlier. Her sire is Lonesome Cry and her dam is Jewels Tango. Breeze is a friendly, happy girl that is confident and social. Breeze passed her cat test and is living in a foster home with cats and small dogs. Breeze had a lot of bad teeth when she arrived and had to have all but 5 removed but she has no problem eating. Breeze is very quiet in her crate and potties on leash well so might be a good apartment dog. She is very sweet and gives kisses. Breeze was in a home for a couple of months but didn't do well there as an only dog and was showing signs of separation anxiety. She has been fine in her foster home where she has other dogs around her all the time, so she it looks like she just needs a home with another dog to be OK. This is a super sweet girl and so pretty!

Etta just arrived from Daytona Beach. She turned 5 on March 19th. Etta actually retired in October of 2013 and has been living with her trainer since then in her home. She was supposed to be a mom, but there are no litters listed on the racing database, so we aren't sure if that ever happened. Etta raced 118 races in Abilene, Bluffs Run, Jefferson County, and Daytona Beach Tracks. She raced at 61lbs so is a mid-sized girl. Her sire is Iceman Brutus* and her dam is Rocking Jade. We placed one of her littermates years ago too. She is supposed to be calm and friendly and will talk to you. Since her trainer chose her out of all the greyhounds in the kennel to keep as a pet she must have a very special personality. Etta has a beautiful shiny coat. She is being fostered with small dogs and does well with them. She was initially a little interested in cats during her cat test but lost interest in them once one slapped her. We think she should be able to live with cats with a little training and supervision at first. Etta likes kids and has lived with one in her trainers home.

She did do fine in her foster home even with a small dog once she got used to seeing him and knew what he was, so may be fine with them with supervision at first. Fire is a calm, confident, friendly girl. She happily checks out everything and then hurries back to be with people. She loves people the most. Fire takes everything in stride and is doing great in her foster home. She did seem to like the kids and all the people she met at PetSmart and did great there at her first meet and greet.

He only won 3 races in his career, but he did place some. He last raced October 1st and was at the track adoption kennel waiting for a group or adopter to take him for months before we got him. He was just a shy, black boy that got overlooked. He just turned 3 on March 1st and raced at 73lbs so is a mid-sized guy. Gale enjoys going for rides and gets in a vehicle and lays down for the trip, but is timid in new places and meeting new people so probably would do better with a family that didn't do a lot of traveling with their dogs. He is a very low key, calm guy that is more of a homebody since he is shy. He does cautiously go up to new people if given a little time to warm up. Gale has been fostered with us for some time now so should be an easy addition that is already home-acclimated. Gale was too interested in chasing kitties to be able to live with them. Although he initially tested fine with small dogs and does fine with them most of the time he needs a home without small dogs. Gale does OK in a home with just one or two other large dogs but too many dogs and activity makes him nervous. What he wants most is a family that will let him hang out with them at night. He loves to sleep in the room with his humans. Gale is a timid guy that wants a home that is quiet and low key like he is. He has a lot of love to give to his new family.

She passed her cat test easily. She is a smart girl that figured out how to get out of a metal crate pretty fast.

Ally just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Race Track where she raced 61 races. She is a flashy black girl with a white blaze on her face and white toes and chest. Very pretty! Ally's sire is Makeshift and her dam is JD Forever. She is a tiny girl that raced at just 52lbs. She is settling in well to foster care. She is interested in the cats but her foster family is working on training her to be around them so we still have her listed as testing until we get a better feel to how the training progresses. She is a kisser and a hugger so be prepared for lots of loving. No accidents in the house so far. Ally loves stuffed toys that squeak and loves to run around with them. She is young and doesn't turn 3 until September 28th. She still has just a little puppy in there. Ally is very focused on her people and wants to be with them. She does complain when kenneled and she can't get to her people so she may not be the best dog for apartment or townhouse living.

Fallon had one litter of pups in 2015 but had difficulty having them and had to be spayed during the process. Her sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and her dam is Kay V North. Fallon is a very calm, friendly girl that travels well and isn't phased by anything. She is pretty confident and not stressed by new surroundings so should adapt to a new home very well. She is a tall gorgeous girl that raced at 69lbs. She is the most chill, unflappable greyhound we have seen in awhile. Fallon is also the rare greyhound that loves to play fetch. She loves tennis balls and that is about the only time she gets really excited. Her adoptive mom reports that Fallon is good with cats, kids and small dogs. Fallon's DOB is March 11th 2011.

David is a mid sized black male that raced at 69lbs. He just retired from the Birmingham race track after only 13 races. He didn't win any of his races so is already retired even though he won't turn two until September 16th. His sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and his dam is Baysuperstitious. We placed his full sister from another litter named Ale Jessica Alba. David passed his cat and small dog test so should be able to live with either. David is a sweet, friendly boy that loves people. We have noticed that he can be a bit timid at first with men but warms up fast. He rode very well on the dog haul and was very calm. He is a bit of a marker but seems like a very well behaved boy that wants to please so we think he will figure out his potty training quickly with a little supervision. He pulls some on leash and then turns around and walks backward or sideways so he can see you while you walk. He still has a very silly pup side to him but he is calm and quiet in his kennel. He was being goofy and was making silly faces during his quick photo shoot right after being unloaded from the hauler so we need to take more pictures of him.

Crow originally came from the Sanford Orlando race track but though some bad luck and no fault of his own has been in two adoptive homes already. He is a pretty brindle male that raced at 74lbs. He won't turn 4 until Oct 1st. His sire is Tim's Crow and his dam is Red Hot Victory. Crow is a very friendly, outgoing guy that was in his first home for about 5 months but they had to return him to us because of some serious health problems. He is being returned again to us again with his housemate Jazz now for financial reasons. It has been a hard decision for his current family because they really love the boys. Crow travels well and passed his cat test. So far he has crated quietly so we think he would be perfect for a townhouse or apartment living. He potties quickly on leash and was living in a home without a fenced yard so is used to being leash walked. Crow is a very playful fun guy that has enough energy to keep things fun and isnt a total couch potato like many greyhounds. Shortly after he was adopted the first time Crow broke one back leg. The leg is completely healed and you can't even tell where he was injured and he doesn't limp on it at all but he does have some pins in his leg. Crow is a very loving, friendly guy and what a cute guy!

She has adjusted well to her foster home and is happily laying on her back on a dog bed with all 4 legs in the air already. So she doesn't seem too stressed by the transition. She also did good with the kids she met at our Petco meet and greet and seemed to like them. Sweet, cute girl.

Angel went to the track but didn't do well in schooling races so retired very young at only 1.5 years old with no races listed. Her racing weight is listed as 64lbs. We originally got her from GAP NE Florida kennel at the Orange Park race track in Jacksonville. Her sire is Beyond The Chill and her dam is HD Cherry. She was pretty timid at first with us but warmed up to her family and turned into a wonderful loving devoted girl. Angel has been in a wonderful home for 2 years now but her owner's health is declining and can no longer take care of her dogs. She is heart broken at having to give Angel, Fargo and Lucy up.  Lucy and Fargo have already been placed in new homes. Angel turned 4 on April 4th. She has wonderful house manners and loves to sleep on beds and couches. She has lived with a cat and slept curled up with it and is fine with small dogs. She is very loving and sweet with her family but very timid with strangers and in new situations. She is more of a homebody that prefers to hang out with her family and not go out. She will need some time and patience to warm up in her new home. She is quiet in her crate and feels comfortable there and will run there when she is afraid. She walks wonderfully on leash with other dogs but she is very fearful on leash, bolting around and trying to get back inside, if no other dogs are around. She would do best in a home with other dogs because she gains confidence from them and is a real follower. She is very overwhelmed and spooky and doesn't seem to know what to do if she doesn't have a dog to follow. This is a long legged, blonde bombshell. Look at all the eyeliner she is wearing!  The photos are the ones we took when she first arrived but still looks about the same. She has put 12 lbs on so is on a diet now.

He raced 121 races. Lorenzo turns 4 on May 26th and hopes he is home to celebrate his birthday with his new family. Lorenzo can be a bit shy at first but warms up and will be a great sweet boy. His trainers say that once he warms up he has a lot of personality and is a real goof but is a very chill dude most of the time. We have lots of pictures that were taken of him at the track kennels. He has a special blanket that he had at the track that he loves that came with him. It helps him when he is stressed and we left it with him at the vets office. He is like Linus and needs his blanket. Lorenzo seems like a very sensitive boy that doesn't handle change well. Even though he was scared by everything new and pretty reserved he did come up to us for love. He did seem to be more stressed when he was away from the other greyhounds so he may be one that needs a home with other dogs. He did whine and bark some so may not be an apartment dog. Lorenzo is doing great in foster care and warmed up right away to his foster family. They just love him and say what a very special guy he is.

Pixie is a tiny older girl that raced at 56lbs and was a very thin 52lbs when she arrived. She is one of the oldest dogs we have ever taken in and will turn 13 on August 11th. Pixie's family originally adopted her from another group out of the area. They are moving now and are unable to take her with them. She was very fragile and had a constant tremor that made her whole body shake when she was on her feet. Pixie also has a bad limp. We had it x-rayed and it appears to be the result of arthritis in an old injury. Our vet noticed that she was being given 4 times the pain medication she should have been getting. That big of a dose was causing a lot of the trembling and by putting her back on the correct dose a lot of her shaking has gone away and she is able to run and play a little now and is much less fragile in just a couple of weeks. She did have a bad fall down some stairs a few years ago and that was when she started the medication and probably why she limps. Pixie's blood work looked good for a girl her age and she even has good teeth. She is on inexpensive thyroid medication and her levels are perfect. As of her last vet check she has gained 3 lbs and looks much better than when she arrived. Our vet is very pleased with her progress and has cleared her for adoption. Pixie is a very calm, laid back, girl, that seems friendly and good natured. She lets complete strangers lift her in and out of vehicles and just stood there when the vet drew blood without yelping or flinching. She has lived with cats and small dogs and is good with them. Back in her day Pixie was a star racer and won top A level races and even competed in special stakes races. She raced most of her career at Daytona Beach but also raced a few races in Wichita. Pixie has 130 races to her credit. She was retired to be a brood mom and had one litter of 7 puppies in April of 2006 before becoming a pet. Her sire is Quiet Traveler and her dam is Shoot Fortheloot. This is a super sweet girl that is looking for a family that will love her for the rest of her life. Because Pixie is a senior she qualifies for a reduced adoption fee and some generous donors have offered to help with that.

Delta just arrived from the Melborne Race Track adoption kennel. She raced 34 races in Orlando FL before she broke her leg on November 28th 2014, She also raced about half of her races at Derby Lane in Florida. Her leg was operated on at the track on December 1st and she was moved to the Melbourne Track Adoption Kennel to complete her rehab. Her surgery was a success and the bone healed up completely already. When she arrived some of the wire and pins had broken and worked their way through the skin so she had to have all the hardware removed at the end of February. She is all healed up now and ready to be adopted. She is putting weight on the leg and walking much better since having the hardware removed. Our vet that took out the hardware says the knee looks great and has good range of motion. Delta isn't able to do really long walks or hikes yet but does like to go for shorter walks and will work up to longer walks as her leg gets stronger. She is expected to make a full recovery and will be able to run and play normally. Delta was too interested in the cat to be able to live with cats. She is fine with small dogs. Her sire is Red Ranger and her dam is SE's Racen Rainy. Delta is a calm girl that walks nicely on leash. She goes right up to people and is very sweet and friendly. Delta is a very good girl with some quirkiness. She loves her crate and insists on having a crate to sleep in even if the door is open. Her other quirk is that she waits for an escort in the house. She will just stand at the door with the door open and waits to be led in. What a gorgeous girl! Those eyes!

Andrew's sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey. His dam is Deco Caraways who we actually adopted out. We also placed two of Andrew's sisters Vale of Arryn and Riverrun. Andrew is a very friendly, social guy that loves people. He is playful but only in short spurts, and is a lower energy, calm guy. In spite of his XL size, Andrew walks great on leash.  He passed his cat and small dog tests easily. He is very well behaved in the house in and out of the crate when people are home with him. He is a Houdini when left alone in a crate though and can get out of the typical metal crate. He will need a plastic vari kennel (airline crate) that is more escape proof than the typical wire crates when he goes to an adoptive home. Andrew probably would not do well in an apartment because he has been a little noisy when left alone. Andrew would love to find a family that was home most of the time.

He did very well on the trip up to the vets and got along well with all the other dogs in a crowded situation. He was pretty good on leash and didn't pull much. He did seem calm and well behaved. He didn't pay much attention to the small dogs at the vet clinic or in his foster home. He also passed his cat test. He politely sniffed the cats and couldn't figure out why they popped him on the nose and weren't friendly with him. So he should be able to live with cats or small dogs. Will did complain loudly about being in his kennel when he first arrived so may not be the best dog for an apartment or townhouse.

Luke does warm up pretty fast and follows his foster parents around and plays with toys after just a few days. He sleeps next to his foster's bed and stays asleep all night. He walks great on leash too. Luke is a sweet loveable guy that is very affectionate when he warms up. He has been quiet in his crate so may be a good choice for apartment or townhouse living.

Rio just arrived from the Birmingham Race track. He only raced 11 races and finished toward the back of the pack in all of them so was retired quickly. He is a young guy that won't turn 2 until August 26th. He is a small male that raced at just 64lbs. His sire is Afleet Alex and his dam is WW Crystal Farms. He passed his cat and small dog tests at the track and he is living with both in his foster home and has never shown any interest in them. Rio is very quiet in his kennel so may be a good apartment dog. He is still just a bit timid at first but seems like he will warm up fast. He quickly warmed up to his foster family and wants to be around them as much as he can. He interacts more with people than the other dogs in his foster home so far.

Rocky is a white male with fawn spots that raced at 72lbs. He is a tall boy for his weight. He is a big traveler, racing at Southland in Arkansas, Dubuque, Naples Ft Myers, Ebro and finally Birmingham Al. He was never really a great racer but raced well enough to have a long career and did win some races and placed often. Rocky has 177 races to his credit. His sire is the very famous Lonesome Cry and his Dam is Kelsos Peach. He turned 5 on Nov 13th. We placed one of his littermates PG Up My Dough a year or two ago! Rocky did not pass his cat test so needs a home with no kitties but he did do fine with small dogs he met. He came in with a few rub marks on his face from his muzzle but they are better and we need to get new pictures. His foster home says Rocky is a calm, well behaved boy and acts like he has always lived in a home. No issues settling in with their other greyhounds and he picked up house manners right away. He is a great boy! Very friendly and sweet too. He seems like he will be an easy first greyhound. He has been quiet in his foster home so may be OK for townhouse or apartment living.

She is a very tiny girl racing below 50lbs part of her career and just above the rest of her career. She was a little interested in the cats when she first met them but did correct well so they think she will be trainable with some close supervision at first. Wishes sire is CTW Plaza Rio and her dam is CTW Forthemoney. She has been a little noisy at first in her kennel so may not be a dog for apartment living. More as we get to know her.

Hammer just arrived from the Birmingham Race track. Hammer is a very friendly, happy, boy. He is a shorter stocky guy that raced at 71lbs and will turn 3 on October 19th. Hammer is white with gorgeous dark red spots. The color in his pictures doesn't show how red he is. His sire is Rico's Vintage and his dam is Rico's Pigathius. He raced 28 races at Tri State and Wheeling in WV and them went to Birmingham AL. Hammer was very friendly on the trip and goes up to everyone he meets wagging and asking to be petted. He is calm and seems very well behaved. At the kennel he did great with other boys in the turn out pens and is very friendly when meeting other dogs on leash. Hammer was protective of his space when laying down with dogs he didn't know at first but he has gotten much better now that he knows the dogs and has been corrected a few times for it. He enjoys traveling and gets in a vehicle and lays down. Because he has shown some grumpiness when laying down, we think he needs a home with no kids or maybe teenagers that will understand not to bother him when he is laying down or sleeping. Hammer did pass his cat and small dog test.
