Greyhound Crossroads

Tina Turner is a white girl with brindle spots. She just arrived from the Birmingham AL race track but has no races listed so evidentally didn't do well in race training. Her sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and her dam is WW's Robson. She is a young girl that just turned 1 on April 7th. She did pass her cat test so would be fine to live with cats and small dogs. She is a happy pup that is silly. Tina Turner is a natural sitter and will plop into a sit position often. She seems like she is still in the submissive puppy stage and doesn't have a lot of confidence yet. She is a talker and has quiet the vocabulary of sounds she makes. She travels very well. Tina Turner was a little overwhelmed by all the changes when she arrived but seems like she is going to be a friendly happy silly pup. Since she is still a puppy she will need a large fenced yard to run around in. Greyhound puppies are not typically the calm dogs that adult greyhounds are and need to run and play every day to burn off some of that energy.

Her Pedigree

JD just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Race track. He raced 85 races there and in Dubuque IA. He wasn't a good racer and only won 4 races in his entire career. His race weight is 75lbs so he is a mid sized guy. His sire is Surf Lorian and his dam is JD Delusion. He will turn 3 on October 15th and hopes to celebrate his birthday with his new family. He is a very, happy, outgoing guy that loves people and loves attention. He is a more active guy that pulls some on the leash excited to see everything around him. He also gives hugs which we are working on correcting. He has been really good in his foster home so far and is quiet in his crate. Seems like a great guy and is very very cute. 

JD was adopted by the Tucker family in 2014 and renamed Oscar. He lived a happy life until he suddenly became paralyzed not long after his 5th birthday in 2016. His vet and specialists were unable to find the cause of the mystery illness and he passed away in November of 2016. 

His Pedigree

SIster Sledge just arrived from the Birmingham Race Track in AL. She is a pretty white girl with black speckles that give her a bit of a dalmation look. She raced at 57lbs so is a smaller girl. Her sire is Kiowa WW Brother and her dam is Greys Hard Copy. Sister Sledge was a good racer at the top A level at Birmingham and raced most of her 72 races there. She also raced at Orange Park and Daytona Beach in Florida. Sister Sledge did pass her cat test so should be fine living in a home with cats or small dogs. She turned two on February 25th. Sister Sledge is a sweet friendly girl that is happy and waggy. She needs a little work on walking nicely on leash because she is so excited to see everything on walks. She seems like a higher energy gal. Sister Sledge travels well and doesn't seemed to be bothered by much. She is a greyhound that will grin at you when she is happy.

Her Pedigree

Thunder is a brindle boy that raced at 78lbs. He raced at several tracks starting out at Tri State in WV, then going to Palm Beach, Melbourne and Sanford Orlando in Florida. He raced 136 races. His sire is Iruska All Star and his dam is ICU Flight Plan. Thunder is a sweet, very friendly boy that loves people. He is very calm and well behaved. Thunder turned 4 on May 17th. Thunder seemed to be very interested in the cats when he arrived at the vet's office so even though he hasn't had an official cat test, it looks like he will need a home with no kitties. He is a friendly happy guy so far. He has done fine with the small dog he met and just sniffed him politely. Thunder has been doing great in his foster home and is a very nice guy.

His Pedigree

Cash is a pretty red male that just arrived from the Orange Park Track in Jacksonville. He has no races listed and is a very young guy that won't turn 2 until February 10th. Because he ran no races he has no racing weight listed but we guess him to be between 75 and 80lbs. Cash's sire is D's Klinger and his dam is D's Belle. He is a very friendly guy that wants to be with people. Loves his ear scritches and will stand by you hoping to get a few. He rode nicely on the trip up from the track and laid down with his head between the front seats so that he was within reach of the people so they could pet him. He was cat trainable when they did his cat test at the track. He was curious about the cat but corrected easily. More as we get to know him.

His Pedigree

Panda just arrived from the Sanford Orlando race track. She just turned 3 on September 28th and got her name because her coloring reminded her trainer of a panda. She raced 83 races and got up to A level. Panda raced at 61lbs. Her sire is Lonesome Cry and her dam is McCain. She was pretty shy when she first arrived at the racing kennel but warmed up after she had been there for awhile. She is doing great in foster care and seems like she gained a lot of confidence during her race career because she wasn't stressed by the trip or by being around new people. She has taken everything in stride and her foster home says she is absolutely fantastic. She hasn't even had an accident. She has been good with the small dogs she has met and was playing with toys the first day. She is quiet in her crate as long as she can't see you but if she knows someone is home she asks to be let out. She has been good so far with her foster family's kids too.

Her Pedigree

Rotation just arrived from the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville FL where he raced 133 races. He was a good racer and got up to A level and even competed in some big Stakes races. Rotation's sire is Ronco and his dam is Starz Magma. He will celebrate his 4th birthday on August 3rd. Rotation passed his small dog and cat tests easily. He is a friendly, waggy boy that seems like he is a mid level energy guy. He is very well-behaved in his foster home and is getting along with the male and female greyhounds there really well. He is a sweet boy.

His Pedigree

Tessie is the daughter of one of our volunteers personal dogs so we have been waiting for her to retire. She raced 125 races and has been at quite a few tracks, Naples-Ft. Myers, Flagler, Palm Beach and Sanford Orlando. She wasn't a great racer and in all that time only won 10 races. She raced at 62lbs so is a mid sized girl. Her sire is Loxahatchee Dash and her Dam is Deco Brandi Jett. She has a great personality like her mom and they both give big grins when happy. Both are extremely happy, social dogs and do great with other dogs and especially love people. So far everyone that has met Tessie say she is a doll. Very social and very sweet.

Her Pedigree

Oscar is a friendly, bouncy, red brindle guy that will celebrate his 4th birthday October 7th. His sire is KJ''s Yukon Gold and his Dam is Gilded Rose. He has 47 races to his credit and he raced at Bluffs Run, Sarasota and Sanford Orlando. He only won 2 races but placed in the money a lot. He raced at 73lbs. He is a sweet guy that passed his cat test and has been living in a home with them. At the track they said that he was Mr Personality following his trainers around and interacting with them a lot while they were doing chores. We have seen the same thing. He doesn't seem to meet a stranger and is very outgoing and friendly. He travelled well on the trip up from the track. He is a higher energy greyhound that loves to run laps every day so would do best in a home with a large yard to run in and maybe even another dog to play with. He probably wouldn't do well in an apartment without a place to run. Oscar has been living in an adoptive home for a year but they felt he would be happier in a home with a large yard, another dog or kids to play with. Because of his higher energy level he might be the perfect dog for someone that wanted a greyhound that could do agility or lure coursing. Oscar absolutely loves children and would be great in a home with older kids that he could play with. This boy is all about playing and having a good time.

Update on Oscar from his foster mom: Oscar is the happiest doggie ever. He will wake you in the morning by putting his nose in your face. If that doesn't work, he'll slip his nose under the covers. And if that doesn't work, he will softly bark you a good morning. He thinks eating is the most wonderful thing ever! He thinks walking is the most wonderful thing ever but isn't big on going jogging and will stop after less than a mile! He thinks sleeping is the most wonderful thing ever! But maybe the MOST wonderful thing ever is when you come home and he is so happy and waggy. Not terribly friendly to squirrels, but all other critters are friends. Totally house trained.

His Pedigree

Stinger is a huge, gorgeous, white and brindle male that raced a couple of races in Abilene and was moved to Sanford Orlando where he retired from in October of last year. He is an extra large male that raced at 94lbs and has 29 races to his credit. His sire is TNT Star Wars and his dam is Super C Queen. He celebrated his 2nd birthday on May 10th. He has been in 2 homes since October of last year. He was returned to us the first time because his family was expecting twins. They didn't feel he will be good with young children because he startles easily when asleep. He did live with a 10 year old boy though and loved him. He is a friendly. happy guy that likes people and is very well mannered in a home. He is good with small dogs but is not good with cats so needs a home with no cats. Stinger was adopted by a second family that didn't have a fenced yard. They found that he really prefers his privacy and likes to find that perfect spot to do his business which didn't work out well on leash and let to long unproductive walks and a few accidents. Stinger was also pretty excited and distracted by the rabbits and small critters wandering in the area he was supposed to go potty in which contributed to the problem. So Stinger is looking for another home with a fenced yard where he can be comfortable.

Her Pedigree

Starr just arrived from a farm in Kansas. She retired from racing in 2012 and had been on the farm since then with plans to have her be a mom. When her owner heard that she had a family interested in adopting her, he decided not to breed her and send her to us instead. Starr is a littermate to several dogs we have placed already and she is being adopted by one of the families that already has her sister. Star arrived at our big dog event Beach Bound Hounds and was fostered in a hotel room. She is a very outgoing, confident girl and took all the people and dogs at the event in stride. She is not afraid of anything and even did scary open stairs the first time she saw them and had no problem on the elevator in the hotel either. She loved the ocean and wasn't afraid of the waves. She does have a pretty high prey drive and was very interested in little dogs she saw, so probably wouldn't be able to live with cats or small dogs but hasn't been officially tested. Starr is a couch dog and the first thing she did was jump up on the couch and make herself comfortable. She loves to lay in your lap too and snuggle. She is not a small girl at 70lbs but don't tell her she is too big to be a lap dog. Her sire is Balligari and her dam is Elysium. She raced 41 races at Wheeling Downs, Derby Lane and Palm Beach. She will turn 5 on December 1st. She is the one in the middle in this picture of her with her brother and sister.

Her Pedigree

He just turned 3 on June 4th and raced at 77lbs. He is a very cute red boy that passed his cat test and small dog test at the track so should be fine to live with both. He was friendly and well behaved at the track according to his trainers. Eddie woke his foster dad up with kisses, the more he laughed and tried to cover up the more happy Eddie got and smothered him with more. He is quiet in his crate and pottys on leash well so might be a good choice for an apartment. Eddie was in an adoptive home for about a month but was just returned because he was not fond of their small children. So Eddie is looking for another home without kids.

His Pedigree

Epic just arrived from the Wheeling WV Race Track. He was a good racer getting up to AA level at the Wheeling track and racing 109 races. He is a handsome boy that was a little overwhelmed when he first arrived from the track but has settled in very well. Now he is very friendly and going up to people and giving them kisses. Once he had a few days to settle in Epic became confident with people and with other dogs and is very goofy, happy and friendly. He thought he was the most important dog in the entire kennel at the track according to his trainer and was pretty full of himself. Epic turned 4 on Jan 3. His sire is Yo My Mediator and his dam is Leprechaun. He was fine with the small white dog in his foster home. He also passed his cat test. He was a little stressed on the long dog haul but did travel well in our vans without stressing. He is great on leash. He did fantastic at a recent trip to PetSmart and was friendly to everyone he met there including the children. This is a sweet little guy that raced at 75lbs but is actually a very short stocky guy with a long body that is shorter than some of the girls. He is very cute with stunning markings.

His Pedigree

Intruder originally came in from a kennel at the Mobile AL track. He is a brindle male that raced at 66lbs. He was born on May 24th 2009 so is 5 years old. His sire is the famous Lonesome Cry and his dam is Sinead. He raced 134 races at Mobile and at Victory land in AL and was a good racer, racing a lot at A level. He is a very pretty brindle with some white on his face. Intruder is very friendly and likes to give kisses to people he meets. He does potty nicely on leash so may do fine in a home that doesn't have a fenced yard. He is a calm, happy guy that has been good with the other dogs and cats in his foster home. He did need some supervision and some correction at first because he did show a little interest in the cats but he learned quickly. He got bitten by a little dog and just tried to get away from it - he is that sweet. He has learned what squeeky toys are and loves to play with them. He is a very good boy that has been really well behaved in his foster home. Intruder was adopted in December of 2013 and has been in an adoptive home since then. He is very well behaved and loved member of the family unfortunately they are having to move and cannot take Intruder with them. So Intruder is looking for another home. Intruder crates well and is quiet in his crate so may do well in an apartment.

His Pedigree

Blue is a rare blue, relatively large male greyhound. He is a beautiful, deep gray color with a gorgeous blaze of white on his chest. Blue is a wonderful boy and will make someone a great pet. He is well-accustomed to living in a house and has not made a single mistake in his foster home. He shows no interest in chewing on things and only shows passing interest in tempting items on a countertop or table. Blue listens very well to his humans and quickly responds to a firm "NO!" as well as a happy "let's go" or "come along, Blue".  Blue loves people! He wants to wrap his body around everyone who approaches him and seems to think that everyone wants to approach and pet him. He has that fantastic greyhound personality that loves and wants to be around people but is not needy and readily goes to his bed when his foster mom is busy. Blue loves to bury his head in people's laps and hug them with his body for attention and petting. This is really a wonderful boy! Blue does great on a leash and loves going on walks. He is nervous when walking around traffic but does not panic. He has been nervous traveling in a car in the past, but is doing better at that now. Although he still seems a little nervous in a car, he is now asks to go in the car and is doing much better riding in a car. Blue has had an unusual life for an ex-racing greyhound. After a short period on the Palm Beach Race Track, he was, unfortunately, in a hoarding house for a few years with around 40 other dogs and cats. We think that in the hoarding house he was picked on by other dogs and, although he shows no aggression toward other dogs, he does seem to end a fight if another dog starts it. Because of this, we think that Blue will do best in a home without small children or other dogs. If you are interested in Blue, let us know and we will tell you all about his background. Blue is a wonderful, happy boy who bounces a little with happiness and then quickly settles down for hugs and petting. He will be a wonderful addition for the lucky family that chooses him

Her Pedigree

Mo and his brother Larry originally came to us from a farm in Wheeling WV. They never went to the race track or actually raced. Their sire is Iceman Brutus and their dam is WJS Raina Jem. The brothers will turn 4 on September 19th. Mo is the darker of the two brothers and is the more laid back of the two boys. He is very friendly and good on leash. Mo never had one potty accident in his foster home and is very well behaved and never gets into trouble. He is a very tiny little guy at just 62 lbs. Mo loves to snuggle and is very loving. Mo loves playing but does have some arthritis in his knees starting that prevented him from racing. We have him on supplements for his knees. Mo passed his initial cat test but has wanted to play too rough with cats in one home. Not trying to kill them, just playing but we think he would do better in a home without cats or maybe in a home with a really mean cat that would set him straight from the beginning about appropriate play. Mo and his brother Larry have been in an adoptive home for a year and were returned to us. They were kept in an outbuilding all night instead of staying in the house with their family and were barking.

His Pedigree

His Pedigree

Grant just arrived from Derby Lane kennel in St Petersburg FL. He only raced 14 races. He was showing a lot of promise as a racer until he got bumped by another dog in the first turn and took a tumble. After that, he decided it was better to just stop at the first turn to avoid trouble. At the training track he continued to run very well and very fast and was very focused on the lure. His trainer felt he might have great potential as a lure courser since he is young and very fast. Grant is an energetic, young guy that is very friendly, happy and loving. He seems like a pretty smart guy. Grant is pretty confident but seems like he is also a sensitive guy that will do everything he can to avoid a bad situation or trouble and isn't likely to make the same mistake twice.

Tully just arrived from the Wheeling WV race track. He race 138 races there and was very good racing at AA level and winning lots of races. He is certainly a star and we feel like we should be asking for his autograph. He turned 4 on March 23rd and raced at 73lbs. His sire is the very famous Dodgem By Design and his dam is Tovi the Proud. We placed his littermate Bawdy Miss (Taylor) and her adoptive family was planning to adopt Tully too. They have cats though and he was way too interested in chasing cats to be able to live with them. So he ended up being available for adoption after all. Tully is a friendly guy that walks on leash well and loves people. He seems like a calm guy that would be an easy addition to the right home. He does fine with small dogs. Tully has even been fine with all the commotion on walks through downtown. Tully is stunning with the dark red hair, dark sabling on his neck and face and even a brownish nose instead of a black one. He is normally great in the crate but does yodel a bit in excitement when he hears you come home so probably wouldn't be the best dog for an apartment. This is a sweet loving guy that is very well behaved and is doing fantastic in foster care.

His Pedigree

Sierra originally raced at Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville and Daytona Beach in Florida for a total of 58 races. She was a good racer and won some A level races. She raced at 64lbs. Her sire is Mulberry Lazer and her dam is Mulberry Shana. She turned 2 on January 10th. Sierra's trainer said she was just a little bit timid at first but was friendly after she got to know you. She warmed up quickly to her foster family too. Sierra traveled well on the trip from the vet and laid down most of the trip. She walks great on leash without pulling. She passed her cat and small dog tests too without any interest in chasing either and has been living in a home with cats. Sierra has been in an adoptive home for nearly 2 months but is still nervous around them. She has also been too loud in her kennel during the day when one of the family members is trying to sleep. So she is looking for a new family that will be patient with her and give her the time she needs to overcome her shyness and bond with them. Because she does complain about being crated she would not be suitable for apartment living.

We will see how he does by himself when we get him but he seems to be good in just about every situation so we think he will be fine. He did pass his cat test too

She is a happy, friendly, well behaved girl that her foster dad described as "a sweet old soul". She does complain a bit about being left alone in a crate so probably wouldn't do well as an apartment dog. She is very smart and figured out the doggy door in her foster home right away. She gets along great with other male and female dogs in her foster home so would be a good choice for a family with several other dogs. She would be an easy addition for a first time greyhound owner and has been in a foster home for a little while so is already home acclimated. This is a great gilr and so pretty!!!

He is very devoted to people and very loving, choosing to follow his people around. Woody is very calm and well behaved with good house manners, so should make an easy addition to a home. He complains sometimes when left in his crate so might not be a good apartment dog. This is a sweet handsome boy.

When we heard he had the same great personality we made sure we got him too. Eddie is a gorgeous, shiny, black male with white toes and a white tail tip. His sire is the very famous Flying Penske and his dam is Kelso's Isabella. Eddie raced at 76lbs and only raced 8 races. He is young and won't turn 2 until May 4th. His trainers say that he is very smart like his littermates. Although he was at the track only a short time he quickly learned how to open the latches on the gates. Eddie is very calm and good on leash. He travels very nicely in a van and just lays down for the trip with no stress at all. He is friendly and doesn't seem to be a marker at all. He was fine with the small white dog he met in his foster home but still needs to be tested with cats. Eddie has liked the children he has met. More as we get to know him.

Bandita just arrived from the Orange Park race track. She broke her hock on April 24th in a race and was vetted and splinted there. The leg seems to be healing well but still needs to be splinted a bit longer so Bandita won't be available until her splint is off. She is expected to make a good recovery. She has 53 races listed at Southland in Arkansas and at Orange Park in Florida. Bandita's sire is Lewis And Wax and her dam is Fuzzys Rushmore. She raced at 62lbs and won't turn 4 until October 29th. Bandita did not pass her cat test so needs a home without cats. She did pass her small dog test and likes kids so should be fine to live with either. We think Bandita is the cutest thing with the spots on her eyes that almost look like big eyebrows. This is a sweet happy girl!

Irene just arrived from the Sanford Orlando race track. She has 60 races listed, half in Birmingham AL and half at Sanford Orlando in Fl. She raced at 65lbs. Irene is a beautiful black girl whose sire is Trent Lee and dam is Kelsos Isabella. She is quiet, calm and well behaved and is being fostered in a townhouse so would be a good dog for apartment living. Irene will celebrate her 3rd birthday on August 27th. Her foster home says she is very sweet and very well behaved and has settled in wonderfully. She is very friendly and happy girl. Her foster mom adores her. She has met some cats outside on walks and just stands and looks at them rather than trying to chase them so we are pretty sure she will pass her cat test when she has one. She is fine with small dogs and the kids she has met too.

Her Pedigree

Gretchen just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Race Track in Florida. She raced 154 races mostly in Orange Park Florida and was good, getting up to A level races and racing in a few stakes races! She broke her right hock in her last race on April 18th and has been off getting healed up at her race kennel since then. She has made a good recovery and is cleared for adoption now. Gretchen is a tiny brindle girl that raced at just 56lbs. She will turn 4 on July 1st. Her sire is the famous Dodgem By Design and her dam is Lobo Serena. Gretchen is calm and well behaved so far and doing really good in foster care. She is quiet in her kennel and we think she may be a good dog for a townhouse or apartment. She passed her cat and small dog tests so should be fine to live with either. She has done great with the children she has met too.

Her Pedigree

Jazz is a black male that is a smaller guy that raced at 71lbs. He just turned 3 on June 10th. His sire is the famous Dodgem By Design and his dam is Jasmine Breeze. Jazz originally retired from the Sanford Orlando race track after only 4 races but he has been in an adoptive home for nearly a year. They have made the difficult decision to rehome Jazz and his housemate Crow due to financial issues. They love both the dogs. Jazz is a friendly guy that likes people and is very calm and laid back. He travels well. He will not go potty on leash and likes to trot around to find that perfect place to go so will need a home with a fenced yard. Jazz gets along well with the other male in his home and seems like he would do well in a home with other males or females. He crates well and crates all night quietly but will softly whine sometimes during the day when he wants to be out or around meal times. He walks well on leash and is very sweet and loving. He is a gorgeous, shiny, black guy that loves people! He likes kids too. He is really more interested in being with people than playing with other dogs most of the time. He will lay down and roll over to get belly rubs. He can be a bit dramatic and will yelp if he even thinks something may hurt. He is a really easy guy that has been very well behaved in his homes. He would be a great dog for a first time greyhound owner or a great addition to an existing pack. He even comes home acclimated already!

His Pedigree

Game is an adorable, red male that just turned 5 on March 27th. He is a smaller guy that raced at 68lbs. His sire is CTW Atom Smasher and his dam is Craigie Glaze. Game is a happy, bouncy boy that is very friendly and pays close attention to the people around him. He seems to want to be with people and will even stop playing with other dogs to get attention from a person, even one he just met. He has never met a stranger and loves everyone. Game is excited to check out everything new on walks so does need some work on not pulling on leash. He has more energy than your average 5 year old greyhound and is actually one of our more energetic boys. If you want a playful, goofy, fun guy this is the one. We marked Game as older kids only just because he is so silly and playful. He loves kids and wants to play with them but with his playful, silly nature is likely to bump an unsteady toddler and knock them down accidentally. He seems like he would be a fun dog for a family with school age kids that wanted a dog that would play with them though. His ideal match would be an active involved family who is searching for a companion that is up for adventure. Game was curious about the cats in his cat test at the track but corrected well and lost interest, so we think he should be trainable with cats with supervision. He has been fine with some small, calm dogs he has met but gets pretty excited when little dogs are running around him. He is on the small side for a male greyhound but with the size difference he might do better living with medium sized dogs he can play with instead of very tiny ones. Game can be talkative when excited so would not be the best dog for apartment living. Got Game?

Train originally raced at Orange Park in Jacksonville and raced 21 races without winning one. He retired back in May of 2005 and has been in a home since then. Sadly he has been returned to his adoption group and is looking for a new home now. We are helping his group Greyhound Lifesavers find a home for this older gentleman by advertising him on our page for them. He just turned 11 on April 26th. His sire is Craigie Whistler and his dam is Miz Mandy. Train raced at 77lbs. He is a very friendly loving guy that is calm and sweet but still has the occasional burst of playfulness. Train will snuggle at night with you if that is allowed. He is OK with kids but needs a quiet home with older respectful kids. He is still a little too interested in chasing cats and smaller dogs to be able to live with them. He has been an only dog for a long time so would be fine with as an only dog, but he is doing well with the other greyhounds in his foster home. He is good on leash and is quiet and well behaved so may be OK for apartment or townhome living but because of his age would do better with a ground floor apartment. He still likes to run and play sometimes so access to a fenced area for an occasional run would be a plus. Train is a calm older guy that is very well behaved. His only bad habit is that he loves to chew on cardboard boxes. He would love a quiet home where he can snuggle and get plenty of ear scritches.

Clyde is a dark brindle male that just arrived from a farm in Jacksonville. We have known him since he was tiny and visited and played with his litter while he was growing up. He never raced because he just wasn't that interested in playing with or chasing the lure so never received an official racing name. He has been called Clyde all his life though. He tested cat and small dog safe. The farm he was raised on has small kids that visit frequently so he is used to being around kids. He just turned one year old on December 1st so is only 18 months old now. Clyde is very friendly and happy and pretty laid back and well behaved for a young pup. He seems like a very confident boy that wasn't phased by the move from the farm. He walked perfectly on leash for us and calmly went up to everyone he met wagging his tail. He doesn't have an official racing weight because he never raced but he weighed 69lbs at the vets. He is very tall for his weight though. All legs, very tall and thin!

Winnie just came in from the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville FL. She raced 84 races there. Her sire is Where's King Fly and her dam is U Too Belle. Winnie is a small brindle girl that raced at just 56lbs. She turned 3 on January 26th. She retired from racing in January and was adopted but wasn't comfortable as an only dog so was returned to the track. She will need a home with another greyhound in it. She did pass her cat test so should be fine living with them and small dogs. She has already been home acclimated and is a sweet girl. Winnie seemed to like the kids she met so should do fine in a home with children.

Boy originally came from a kennel closing at Sanford Orlando Race Track. He is a very unusual looking sable fawn with dark tips on his pale fur. His sire is Tony's Oracle and his dam is Country Ginger. He is a littermate to several other dogs we have placed. Boy turned 2 on September 3rd. He was initially pretty shy when he first arrived but is a happy, waggy boy now. City Boy is a sensitive guy though. He definitely has a preference for women and children and takes longer to get comfortable around men. He has had some bad luck with families since he was retired from racing a year ago. He was returned to us from his first family that has had him for 7 months because they were moving to Dubai for work and cannot take him. He was just returned from his second family after 4 months because they had a schedule change and no longer have time for a dog. He is a good dog and neither return was because of any issue with him. He has lived with small children in previous homes and loves them. He also has done fine with cats and small dogs he has met so can live in a home with them. Boy loves to play in the yard and likes playing with toys. If he does anything wrong he corrects very easily with a loud "NO!". He has become a goofy, happy, silly guy! Give him a rope or ball and he will be your friend for life. His potty training is excellent. He is great in a crate and will potty on leash so might be a good choice for an apartment.

Although she can be a little timid at first, she enjoys attention and likes to play with toys. She is very quiet in her kennel and goes potty on leash so would be a good apartment or townhouse dog.

Sharky did pass his cat and small dog test at the track and is living in a foster home with cats so would be fine in a home with cats or little dogs. Sharky has a wonderful personality. He is calm and pretty good on leash. He is very well behaved and has settled into his foster home wonderfully. He is super sweet and loving and loves people. This stunning, tall guy is ready for a home!
