Additional Details:

Finn came in from a farm in Florida where he has been since he retired from racing in November of 2016. He has been waiting on a group to take him for nearly a year. Finn raced 191 races all at Palm Beach. He won some and did get up to the top A level briefly, but most of his races were at the lower levels. Finn is a taller guy that raced at 76lbs. He just turned 5 on July 5th. His sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and his dam is Atascocita Haley. He is owned by Atascocita Racing which is how he got the first part of his name. Finn is a gorgeous white boy with red spots with cute ears that stand straight up when he is watching something. Even though all his spots on his body are red he has a black spot on his tail which is very unusual and very cool. Finn travels pretty well but does like to stand and watch where he is going. He potties nicely on leash so may be fine without a fenced yard. Finn is a really nice, friendly, boy that is happy happy happy. He happily goes up to everyone he meets for attention. His trainer at the race track said he could be bossy with other males while playing. After he retired, he was turned out in a group of males at the farm and had no problems whatsoever. Since he tended to be bossy as a younger guy, he may do best in a home with females or other more submissive males. He needs a home with no kitties because he really wanted to chase the cat he met. He is very calm and well behaved around the small dog he is fostered with, so should be fine to live with them. Finn is very quiet and clean in his crate. He really liked the small children he met but got overly excited to see them so because of his size and strength we think he may do better in a home without toddlers. He would love a home with older kids he could play with. He played with kids ages 5 to 10 that came to the farm with one of the workers. Finn is the unusual greyhound that is a great swimmer and loved to swim in the lake at his first foster home. He has a lot of personality and has a lot of love to give.

Finn was adopted 10/21/17 by the Regan family of NC. He was a great guy and ended being their daughter's dog. He crossed the bridge in August of 2021 after some neurological issues and will be missed.
