Pam is a red brindle female that raced at 65lbs. She is retiring from Palm Beach Race Track after 73 races. She also raced at Flagler and Naples-Fr. Myers tracks. She will turn 3 on March 21st. Her sire is Flying Coal City and her dam is USS Out of Sight. She has a beautiful red brindle coat and is a very sweet girl. Pam was very interested in the cat she met at the track but was much better with the second cat she met here. She went right up to sniff but got slapped by the cat and had no interest in getting near the cat again. So we put her down as trainable. She would probably do best with a cat that would stand its ground and not run away. She seems like a bit higher energy girl that gets excited easily about everything and runs up to check out anything new. She was equally excited meeting the small dog but just sniffed politely and quickly realized what he was. She has complained loudly about being in her crate the first few hours she has been here so may not do well in an apartment. She travels very well. She was hard to get photos of because she wanted to lean up against the legs of the person holding her leash the entire time and it was hard to get the legs out of the pictures.

Her Pedigree

Dream is a little white girl with black spots. She is small, racing at 58lbs. She raced at 67 races mainly at Daytona Beach. She recently moved to Birmingham and only ran a few races there. She did win some races. Her sire is TK Quick Strike and her dam is Hamparsum. She turned 2 on May 7th. She passed her cat and small dog tests at the track so should be fine to live with either. She is doing well with the cats in her foster home. Dream did great with an 18 month old that visited her foster home. She is still a bit timid but does wag her tail when people approach. Dream kennels nicely and will go in when told and is very quiet in her kennel. She eats well and is a very good girl. She doesn't do steps very well yet. She is just getting the hang of going down but has a lot of trouble going up steps still. So far Dream hasn't tried to get up on the furniture and prefers to lay on her dog bed. Most greyhounds aren't comfortable in the sit position and it isn't a natural position for most of them but it is for Dream. She will sit on her own.

Her Pedigree

Sweet Senior! Razor is a 71lb brindle male that is a real traveler. He started out racing in Abilene KS, then went to Sarasota FL, Naples-Ft Myers, Derby Lane, Orange Park and then to Daytona Beach where he retired. He never was a good racer and in 118 races only ever won 4. He kept trying though. Razor just turned 8 on May 27th so qualifies for our reduced adoption fee of $250. He is a friendly, sweet, playful boy that has been in an adoptive home with 2 other greyhounds since January of 2015. His family is having to move in with their father to take care and can't take their 3 greyhounds with them. They have asked us to re-home them. Razor has a great personality and is still a playful, silly, guy that doesn't act his age. He has been living with cats and other greyhounds and is fine with small dogs. He hasn't lived with kids but has always been fine with the ones he has been around. His family thinks he would do fine in just about any situation and would be fine being placed on his own without his buddies. All three dogs have the same sire Maryville Rumble and Razor's dam is B's Katy Bee. The pictures we have of him are from when he first was placed over 3 years ago. Razor's family was able to figure out a way to keep him although they are still having to place his two housemates!

Lolli came to us from the Birmingham Alabama Race Track. She raced an amazing 229 races before retiring in September of this year. She was a good racer racing a lot of races at the top A level. Lolli is a small girl that raced at 57lbs. She turned 4 on August 16th. She passed her small dog test but was a little too interested in chasing the cat so needs a home without cats.

Her Pedigree

Connor just arrived from the Birmingham Race track. She is a tiny black female that only weighs 55lbs. She turned 2 on May 5th and only raced 39 races. She was pretty good and quickly got up to the top A level of racing there and won a couple A level races. She pulled up in her last race August 2nd and they found she had a broken front leg. Her leg was fixed and splinted at the track. She is out of the splint and cleared for adoption now. The break healed up very well and shouldn't affect her life as a pet. Connor is a shy girl at first with people she doesn't know but it usually only takes her a few days to warm up to new people. She is very sweet and loving with her foster mom and the staff at the vet clinic that she has visited frequently. She was a little interested in the cat at first in her cat test, but once the cat slapped her she wouldn't get near it again. She has done well in her foster home with the cat there too so should do well in a home with a cat. Most of our shy dogs are a little too timid to live with loud, rowdy, young children and prefer more quiet homes with older or calm, quiet children or children that just visit occasionally but Connor hasn't really been around many children yet. Connor is a very sweet, happy girl that is so beautiful!

Her Pedigree

Andrea just arrived from a greyhound farm in Kansas with her sister Abby. She raced 162 races at 57lbs in Palm Beach Florida. She retired from racing in January of 2014. Andrea has been at the farm since, with the plans for her to have puppies. Her owner decided to retire her and let her be a pet so she is ready for the pet stage of her life now. We already placed her mom Audacious and one of her sisters Beguiled so have been waiting on her and her sister to retire. Her sire is TK Quick Strike. Both girls passed their cat tests so should be fine to live in a home with cats or small dogs. We found out that Andrea is a grinner when she is happy. Very cute! More as we get to know her.

Her Pedigree

Bo never raced. He was born on November 4th in 2005. Bo has had a long run of bad luck with adoptive homes. He was adopted out as a young dog and was in his first home for 4 years until 2011 when one of them started having trouble with a dog allergy. He was adopted out to another family in 2011 but was found running loose in April of 2014. His previous family didn't respond to attempts to contact them to see if they wanted their dog back so the family that found him decided to keep him. Bo has been whining a lot in that home and didn't appear to be happy, so now he is being rehomed again. His sire is the famous Fortified Power and his dam is M's Elizabeth. He just turned 9 on Nov 4th so qualifies for our reduced adoption fee of $200! Bo is a handsome boy that loves to be by your side. Bo absolutely loves children and slept in the bed with a 7 year old boy in one of his previous homes. He gets along well with other dogs small and large. Bo is a fun boy, and is constantly making his foster family laugh. Even though he is an older guy, he is still playful and loves to run around in the yard. After a very short run can usually be found laying on the couch or bed nearest his people. He is such a loving happy guy and so cute too! Bo seems like he has too high of a prey drive towards cats to be able to live with them but has been living with small dogs and is wonderful with them. Bo can be vocal if left alone so wouldn't be a good dog for an apartment or townhouse. If you want a dog that is already used to living in a home that loves kids, this is your guy!

Sarah is a beautiful, unusual light fawn with black stripes. She is a tiny girl racing at just 55lbs. She was a successful racer and raced 131 races at Derby lane in St Pete FL. She even raced in a couple of Stakes races. Because she was good she had one litter of pups before she was retired. Even though she had a long race career and is a mom she is still very young and won't turn 5 until February 2nd. She is a very special girl with a great personality that her trainer would love to just adopt herself if she had room for another one at home. She wants this girl to get a very special home. Sarah's sire is the famous Dodgem By Design and her dam is Dreamy Blossom. More as we get to know her. Be sure to look at her other pictures to see pictures of her as a puppy.

Her Pedigree

Elf never actually raced and broke her leg in training. She is very young and just turned 1 year old on April 19th.  Elf had surgery to fix her leg and was transported to our group a month later after she was cleared to travel. Her sire is Kelsos Fusileer and her dam is Kiowa Adara Amy. She has made a good recovery from the break and should be able to walk and play just fine. Her splint is off and she has her final vet appointment on October 10th so is available for adoption now. To help our group take in more injured athletes like Elf please go to our Injured Athlete Page. This is a very special fund that we have just for dogs with major injures and 100 percent of it goes to pay for surgeries and vet care. Thanks to our generous supporters we are able to help quite a few dogs with broken legs. Elf is a very sweet snuggler that loves to get up in your lap. She loves people and gives puppy kisses and even grins sometimes. Elf loves kids and everyone she meets. Since she is still a playful pup, she might accidentally knock over toddlers while playing with them so we have her listed as older children only. Because she is still a pup, Elf needs supervision and frequent reminders about household rules. She has played with a Jack Russell in her foster home and is good with him, but being a pup she might play too rough to play with a tinier dog than that.

Lindy is a very young, beautiful, white girl with black spots that came to us straight from the farm. Her sire is Djays Octane and her dam is Leprechaun Girl. Lindy never showed much interest in racing so her racing owners feel that she would make a better pet and decided not to send her to the race track. She did pass her cat and small dog tests so should be fine in a home with either. Lindi is very timid and shies away from strangers. If you come to meet her she will go to her crate and won't interact but she only needs a little time to warm up. She is very friendly and comfortable around her foster dad after just a short time. Lindy just needs a little time and patience and she will be the BEST girl. Lindy has turned into a very sweet snuggler at her foster home. Very loving! Lindy came in with her sister Lori who has already been adopted so some of the pictures are of both girls.

Her Pedigree

Collins originally came to us from D'Arcy Kennels at Derby Lane in Florida in August of this year.

Collins raced 50 races at Derby Lane and is a young girl that celebrates her 3rd birthday on December 8th.

She is a calm, well behaved girl that turned 2 on July 26th. She passed her cat and small dog tests so should be OK to live with either. Leeza is a follower and is more confident if she has another dog to follow around so her ideal home would have at least one other dog.

Last year he was adopted by a family with a lot of kids of all ages and he has been wonderful with all the children and the large family. But now they have to return him to us. BoJack is a wonderful dog and should be comfortable in almost any home situation. He would be perfect for a home with kids. Because Bojack is 8 years old he qualifies for our senior discount!

His Pedigree

Leila just arrived from the Birmingham Race Track where she raced 31 races. She never won a race so her career was short. Her sire is Cry Homer and her dam is Humdinger Doll. Leila raced at 64lbs and just turned 2 on August 16th. She was more interested in checking out everything in the room than the cats when she met them and did fine with the small dog too. So she should be fine in a home with cats or small dogs. More as we get to know her.

Her Pedigree

More as we get to know her.

Her Pedigree

Don't let his tough name fool you, Crusher is a sweet, loving guy that looks like a deer with big dark eyes. In spite of his cuteness he has been waiting on someone to adopt him or another group to take him at the Birmingham Adoption Kennel since he retired in May. Crusher has a higher than average prey drive and at first mistook other breeds of dogs for bunnies so it didn't appear that he was going to be able to live with small dogs or cats. He is doing great in his foster home though and after sniffing a few dogs of other breeds figured out that they were just dogs. He has been fine meeting even a small white Italian greyhound. He loves to play and does try to get other dogs to play with him so he would probably do better with medium to larger dogs that could actually play with him than very small dogs that couldn't. Crusher loves toys and especially likes ones that squeak. He complains sometimes about being left in his crate so probably wouldn't be a good dog for apartment or townhouse living. He loves people and is great with other greyhounds he has met. He was a good racer that raced 110 races in Birmingham and he got up to the highest A level of racing. He raced at 73lbs which is mid sized. Crusher turned 3 on April 24th. His sire is Mulberry Lazer and his dam is Mulberry Tipsy.

His Pedigree

Patsy originally came to us from the Orange Park track in Jacksonville Fl. She actually raced in Sarasota Florida and in Dubuque IA though and never actually competed in Orange Park according to her race record. She is a 66lb red female that raced 40 races. Patsy turned 3 on July 25th. Her sire is from Ireland named Team Record and her dam is Pat C Fluctuate. Patsy is a happy, friendly girl with a great personality. She is used to being around kids because her trainers brought their kids to work with them and she loved the kids. In a greyhound racing kennel all the dogs wake up and get up when someone comes in or opens their crate so sleep startle is rarely ever seen and definitely isn't a problem. Since she arrived we have found that she doesn't like to be touched when she is sleeping. For this reason we prefer to place her in a home without kids or a home with older kids that are old enough to understand not to bother her while she is sleeping. Her foster home has been working on this behavior and Patsy is responding well to training. Patsy has lived with a small hyper dog but would do better with larger, calmer dogs that will not jump on her when she is sleeping for the same reason. She has lived with cats and is good with them. She gives kisses and loves to play with toys. A very happy, friendly girl and what a GORGEOUS girl! She is very sweet and well behaved and has great house manners.

Spellbound is a tall red fawn female. She raced at 66lbs. She just arrived from the Birmingham Race Track. She only ran 12 races and is another one that started bumping into and playing with the other racers so was not allowed to continue her racing career. Her sire is BD's Greyson and her dam is WW's Uh Huh. She turned 2 on Nov 6th. Spellbound was too interested in kitties to pass her cat test so we thought she would need a home with no cats but she paid no attention to that cats in later cat tests so seems to be OK now. She did well with small dogs as well. More as we get to know her.

Her Pedigree

Irena just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Race track. She was brought in specifically for one our families that met her at the track and has been waiting to adopt her. She raced 128 races and got up to the top A level at Sanford Orlando. She started out her career at Southland in Arkansas and also raced at Flagler and Derby Lane briefly before being moved to Sanford Orlando. Irena raced at 60lbs and her sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey. Her dam is USA Lila. Irena's last race was September 14th of 2014. While she was racing, her trainer took her over to the local highschool to be a mascot for the Lyman Greyhounds. She loved all the attention and her naturally confident, happy personality made her perfect for her other job. Be sure to look at her other pictures to see pictures of her as a mascot. She is good with small dogs and loves kids.

Her Pedigree

Mac is an extra large, loving greyhound that raced at a huge 84lbs and is well over 90lbs now. During his time at Orange Park track adoption kennel (GPA of NE Florida) he was a kennel favorite. His sire is the famous Kiowa Sweet Trey so he is a half brother to a bunch of the dogs we have placed. His dad seems to throw extra sweet pups and Mac is a twin to another big guy that we already placed. He was born on March 21st of 2009 so he is 4 years old. This boy is a happy, loving guy that loves everyone he meets. He seems like a fun guy that bounces happily when he meets you but so far has crated quietly so can be calm and lazy too. He is food motivated so should be easy to train to do tricks or obedience. Mac is a big lovable guy that is going to make a great pet. He is cat and small dog friendly so could live with either. Mac has been in an adoptive home for over a year now and was returned to us because they had a child and no longer had time for a dog. He is wonderful with kids and should be an easy pre acclimated pet for some lucky family. He was returned to us very overweight so we are working on getting some weight off of him. The photos we have of him are ones when he first retired and was in great shape.

His Pedigree

Dempsey is arriving from the Birmingham Race Track. He is a white male with black spots that raced at 69lbs so is on the smaller side for a male. He only raced 2 races, one in Daytona and one in Birmingham. He tried to play with the other racers in both races which is not allowed. It meant he had to be retired. He is young and turned 2 on August 7th. His sire is Kiowa Mon Manny and his Dam is Kiowa Deli Dana. He did not pass his cat test at the track so will need a home with no kitties. He was OK with the small dog he met at the track and should be OK to live with small dogs with supervision at first. He is a quiet guy that should be OK to live in an apartment.

His Pedigree

Her sire is the famous Trent Lee and her dam is Kay Carmella. True is a very calm, quiet girl that was well behaved on the trip up and is excellent on leash. She will turn 3 on April 15th. True passed her cat test at the track so can live in a home with them and should be fine to live with small dogs. She was fine with the kids she met too. She loves going for walks with her foster dad. She potties well on leash and is quiet in her crate.

Her Pedigree

Draw just arrived from Orange Park track in Jacksonville Florida. He was a very good racer winning top A level races at Derby Lane, Sarasota and Orange Park and even competing in some Stakes Races. He raced 173 races and retired a year ago in June. He has been at the track waiting on a home since then. Draw's sire is Brady Thomas and his dam is M's Mary Freeman. He is 5 years old and will turn 6 on December 20th. He is a happy bouncy boy that is silly and friendly. He passed his cat test so should be fine to live with cats or small dogs. Draw loves to run and is an active guy for a 5 year old so would do best in a home with a fenced yard. Since he is bouncy and goofy we also marked him older children only. He likes kids and would accidentally knock over a toddler in his enthusiasm to play. It is just because of his playfulness and bounciness though and we don't believe he would ever intentionally hurt anything.

His Pedigree

Brandi just arrived from a farm in Kansas. She was a brood mom and had 36 babies before she was retired. Brandi will be 9 on November 17th 2005.

Kiska was a good racer that raced 172 races at Derby Lane in St Pete Florida. She retired from racing in February of 2010 and began her second career as a mom. She had 2 litters since and raised 11 pups. Kiska has now been retired from that career and is ready to be a pet. She just turned 8 years old on June 16th. Her sire is the famous Gable Dodge and her dam is Flying AC DC. She passed her cat and small dog tests so should be fine to live with either. Kiska has done great in her foster home. She is very confident and doesn't let anything bother her. She gets along great with all the other dogs in her foster home large and small. Kiska walks great on leash and loves to go for walks. She loves to play with squeaky toys even more. She is a very sweet girl that will come up and lean against you for affection. It doesn't show so much in her photos but she is a beautiful light fawn with dark sable tips. She is good with children that treat dogs respectfully but she did take offense to a child that crawled on her and laid on her. So she needs to be placed with children old enough to be taught that you should never lay on or crawl on dogs because it hurts them. Because Kiska is over 8 years old she qualifies for a discounted adoption fee of $200.

She likes her crate and chooses to stay there where she is comfortable even with the door open sometimes.

Her Pedigree

Durango was found wandering loose and was brought to the Birmingham Race Track's adoption kennel. It took them awhile to figure out who he was and where he came from because his identifying ear tattoos were badly faded. He was identified eventually as EZ Durango. He had raced 25 races starting at Seabrook then moving to Birmingham AL. He retired from there and was adopted in 2004. His mom had been deployed and had left him with relatives. He had run away from the relatives house and had been missing for a year and a half. Another family found him, took him in and kept him until his most recent escape. His original owner was contacted and is still deployed in another country. Her relatives are unwilling to take him back. Durango just turned 13 on Nov 5th. His sire is Oneco Wiseman and his dam is Good Storm. He raced at 68lbs but is on the thin side now so is a smaller guy. Durango came in with a small tumor that needed to be removed and was under weight but other than that the vet said he was remarkably healthy for a guy his age. He loves children and passed his cat and small dog tests there. The really good news is that he has a wonderful home to go to already as soon as he arrived on Nov 14th.

His Pedigree

Spitfire just arrived from the Birmingham Race Track. She only raced 12 races and didn't win any of them and only placed in 2 of those. Her sire is Dragon Fire and her dam is Cry Huron. Spitfire has had mixed results with cats, showing no interest in some but extreme interest in others so she needs a home with no kitties. She is a pretty white girl with just a few black spots. She just celebrated her 2nd birthday on October 13th. Spitfire travels well and just lays down or rides with her head on your shoulder. She is quiet in her crate and potties nicely on leash so may be a good apartment dog. She did great with the child in her foster home. Spitfire is on the timid and submissive side. She was pretty overwhelmed when she first arrived and didn't eat for a couple of days but now has come out of her shell and wags and approaches people and is very loving. She gets along very well with other dogs too.

Her Pedigree

Lucy is a sweet, friendly, waggy girl that loves everyone she meets. This is a tiny little girl that raced at just 53lbs at Orange Park in Jacksonville FL. She has a lot of personality in that small frame though. Lucy passed her cat and small dogs tests so should be fine living with either. She just turned 4 on October 2nd. Her sire is the famous Lonesome Cry and her dam is Top Cat Olympia. She has been a little loud when left in her crate so we don't think Image will be able to live in an apartment or townhouse. Lucy has been in a wonderful adoptive home for over a year. Her owner's health is declining and she is no longer able to care for her dogs. She has made the tough decision to rehome her dogs Lucy and Angel. Lucy is already home acclimated and is well behaved. She has lived with kids and other dogs and gets along great with everyone.

Her Pedigree

Sahara just arrived from the Orange Park Track in Jacksonville Fl. She raced 126 races at 66lbs. She raced at Dubuque IA and in Sarasota FL too. Sahara turned 4 on July 14th.

Her Pedigree

Dalma came from the Jacksonville Fl race track. She raced 132 races at 62lbs. She raced most of her races at Orange Park but also raced at Derby Lane. She is a pretty black girl that celebrated her 4th birthday on Feb 1st. Her sire is Daddy Warbarks and her dam is Zoomn Cheri. Dalma's last race was in January. She had a couple of seizures at the track and her owner decided it was best to retired her. She was at the track kennel from January until May waiting on a group that could take her and didn't have any more seizures even without medication to prevent them. The stress of the move from the track triggered another seizure so we put her on medication to prevent more and she has had no seizures since she started the medication. The medication is inexpensive and she may not even need to be on medication once she is in a permanent home since high excitement and stress seem to trigger her seizures. Dalma is a sweet, happy girl that is very very loving. She will curl up in your lap and loves to snuggle with people. She is very friendly with people and gets along great with the other dogs in her foster home. Her current foster home would love to dog sit for her after adoption if she is adopted in the area. Dalma did pass her cat and small dog tests so should be fine to live with either. She likes the small children in her foster home. Dalma does potty nicely on leash now so may be OK for apartment living.

Her Pedigree

Star is a 77lb black male that just retired from the Sanford Orlando Race track. He was pretty good and quickly got up to A level. He turned 2 on May 28th so is still a young guy. Star loves people and is very friendly. Star's sire is the famous Iruska All Star and his dam is WW Star Isabel. Star did not pass his cat test so needs a home without cats. He loves to play and can play a little too rough for very small dogs. Although he is good most of the time with the Italian greyhound in his foster home he would probably do better with a medium or larger sized dog that he could actually play with. Star loves kids and chooses to follow them around. He isn't fond of his crate and does complain about it a bit so would not be a good choice for an apartment. Star does sleep through the night in the crate though and seems to only make noise when people are around and he is hoping to be let out or at dinner time. When he thinks no one is home, he is quiet. Star seems to be a pretty calm guy but still likes to play and get silly. Star is pretty smart and did figure out how to unhook the standard folding metal crates and get out of them. He will need a plastic vari kennel in his new home.

Ditto is a rare blue male that raced 77 races at Orange Park in Jacksonville FL. He also raced in Sarasota and at Southland in Arkansas. Ditto raced at 75lbs. His sire is Kelsos Fusileer and his dam is Whytell Broom. Ditto turned 3 on April 1st. He is a very very calm laid back guy. Likes love but is mellow and content to do whatever.

We placed him originally in April of 2007 and he has been in his adoptive home since then. He was returned to us at 11 years old because he had bad breath and some loose stools. We have given him a much needed dental and removed all but 7 teeth. He is on meds for the diarrhea and our vet did a physical on him. All test results came back good and he seems like he is a healthy guy other than having some arthritis. He still bounces happily and likes to play. He is a happy friendly guy with a great personality that is good with cats, small dogs and kids. His foster home says he is nearly perfect. Because Bob is over 8 years old he qualifies for our reduced adoption fee of of $200.

Lori's sister Lindy is arriving with her for the same reason. Lori is a cute white girl with black spots. She passed her cat and small dog tests without interest in chasing either. Lori is the more confident outgoing one of the two sisters. Her sire is DJ's Octane and her dam is Leprechaun Girl. Neither of these girls were registered to race so have no racing name or racing weight. More as we get to know them.

Her Pedigree

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.

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.

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 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.

She was pretty shy when she first arrived at the racing kennel but warmed up after she had been there for awhile.

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.
