Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Augusta, Ga
Adoption Status: Adopted

This little girl was released from a shelter near Savannah into the care of GC. She was never registered to race. We don't know much more about her history and haven't discovered which adoption group she originated from. Savannah was initially interested n the kitties, but quickly responds to correction. She also did very well with small dogs and the young children (3 and 5) in her foster placement. She is calm, easy-going and loves to cuddle with her humans. She doesn't chew on items inappropriately, has great house manners, and doesn't display any anxiety at being left alone. She is slightly timid when first approached and at feeding time, preferring to eat alone. Savannah seems to be a dog who will fit into almost any home, whether there is another greyhound with her or not. 

Congratulations to the Ayers Family of Augusta, Ga! Pending Day 5.19.09

Untitled document Mattie loves people and wants to be around them more than the other doggy housemates. She has shown no anxiety moving into her foster home and new life-- learned to go up and down stairs right away, and even likes looking at herself in the mirror! She chases balls, loves to play, and is showing herself to be smart enough to learn tricks. What a beautiful, smart girl!

Good w/ Children:
Testing		 Fostered by (location):
Greenville, SC (Johnson)
Adoption Status: Adopted by the Welton Family of Boiling Springs, SC on 12/30/09

Dart came from an adoption group in hopes we could help him with some behavioral issues he was having with other dogs. They had been working with him and did a great job. By the time we got him he did fine with the dogs in his foster home. He has done fine with a small dog in his foster home but still needs to be tested with cats.

Update after adoption: Dart seems to have overcome his aggression with a little work and lives with another dog now. The last we heard he was working on becoming a therapy dog.

Florence, SC (Kinn)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Gordon, 12.22.09
Star is one of our favorites at the track kennel. When we go to pick up dogs she always greets us with enthusiasm and is a very friendly sweet girl. She is mostly white with a black patch over one eye so is as cute as she can be too. She was a pretty good racer and we have been waiting on her to retire for a couple of years. Updated description! Star is a very special girl that the GC group has been waiting to take in for a couple of years. She is as bright as her name, both in beauty and intelligence! She would like some dog companionship to truly shine and likes to be included in daily activities. She enjoys bouncing around the yard, but would do fine in an apartment or unfenced home with plenty of exercise (she is still a young girl). She is quiet when crated but likes to have a doggie friend nearby so she is not all alone. Star is a very laid back dog who is undisturbed by loud noises or activity so would do great with children she is also very tolerant of being touched and moved when sleeping. She is content to lounge on her bed for the evening after dinner and enjoys just being close to her human pack. Because she is so smart, she needs to have the rules clearly defined. She is happy to follow the rules once they have been set down. She has a great memory and rarely forgets what is allowed or not. She will truly be the "star" of some lucky family's life! Cuddly, gentle, and sweet, this girl is looking for the home that recognizes just how special she is.

Adoption Status: Adopted by O'Malley, 12.20.09
Finn and his littermates Ethan & George are available. Finn is a mid sized male at 72lbs. They have been together for their entire lives - three and a half years and it would be wonderful to place them together but we have done a trial separation and they all seem like they would be OK living alone too. They are all reported to be as sweet as their name and wonderful, beautiful boys. They sleep together in a pile. All are friendly and loving. If you are interested in one, two or all three boys who are already bonded to each other, let us know and we can set up a meeting for you with them. Finn is in a foster home with his brother Ethan and is doing great on his potty training and house manners and is very well behaved. He is a grinner like his brothers and will grin when happy excited or when he thinks he is in trouble. He is so well behaved that is rare though. Finn is a friendly, happy loving guy that likes to sleep in his crate and is fascinated with his first Christmas tree.

Adoption Status: Adopted by Thornburg, 12.09

Chase is a sweet, friendly, 7 year old girl that had to have a leg removed a couple of years ago because of bone cancer. These photos are old and were taken before she lost her leg. Being a tripod doesn't slow her down any. She can jump into cars and keeps up with the 4 legged dogs with no problem. She was returned because her owner couldn't keep her and not because of behavior problems. She has been living in a home for years so is home acclimated. She and Ramzeez were housemates.

Update after adoption: Chase has been adopted and her bone cancer has never returned. She is one very lucky giri and her family dearly loves her.

George and his littermates Ethan & Finn have lived together and raced together their entire lives. While it would be wonderful to put them in a home together we know that finding a home for 3 dogs at once would be difficult. We have done a trial separation of the brothers and they all seem to be fine alone too. All three boys are all reported to be as sweet as their name and wonderful, beautiful boys. They are small to mid sized males. Of the three, George is the most active, confident, curious and playful. He is going to make a fun pet. If you would like to meet George and his brothers please contact us.

Untitled document

Desi is shy, but willing. She likes getting loves, but doesn't come up and ask for them. She has already become very attached to her housemate Finnegan, and stays very close to him for cues. She rides very nicely in a car, and is a quiet girl. She is actually afraid of the housemate cats, and won't go near them.  She will go in her crate on her own sometimes - I think to take a break from all of her new surroundings. She loves food, but doesn't gobble, and as a dainty eater would be just fine as a free-feeder in a home by herself. She has met a few people now, and with a little coaxing, she will go up and get loves. Once someone starts petting her, she is fine and is just afraid to make the initial approach. She has also met a couple of small dogs and was absolutely fine with them. She was very interested, but not the least bit aggressive.   With some time, some love and a gentle hand, this little girl is going to be an incredible pet. Desi is going to end up being absolutely devoted to the person who gives her a forever home. She is so sweet, and so pretty. She is going to be worth the patience and love. As she settles in and learns how to be just a dog, she is going to be a very, very special girl.

Age:
2		 Color/Gender:
Black Male
Cat Tolerance:
Yes		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Older Children Only		 Fostered by (location):
Columbia, SC (Ng)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Pendergraft, 12.03.09
Untitled document Babbagnoosh is a sweet, small, laid back boy that loves to play with toys. He is very shy and takes a long time to warm up to people, especially men, so would do best with at least one female in the family. His foster family says he is very loving once he warms up and is one of the sweetest fosters they have had. Babba is likely to be fearful at first in any new home for the first month or two and will respond to quick movements by fleeing to his crate. He needs an understanding family that is OK with this and will not give up on him. As shy as he is, he has never tried to snap and hasn't even growled in fear. He is a sweet gentle guy that will warm up if he is given enough time. Babba is definitely not a dog that will happily greet you at the door at first but he can become that after a few months. He gets along great with other dogs, both large & small and seems to be less nervous with other confident dogs around as a good example. His dream home would have a confident friendly dog in it for him to be pals with. He crates perfectly and will "talk" when he needs to go out. His foster mom says it is the funniest sound she has ever heard - it's as if he is trying to form actual words. Babba will do best with a fenced in yard as new things spook him while out on a leash. If you are willing to give this sweet guy plenty of time to warm up to you then he will be forever devoted and very loving. Babba would do best in a quiet, low-key home without active small children. Although he poses no threat to them, their quick movements and noise seem to make him uncomfortable and he will retreat to the safety of his crate. Babba tested cat tolerant. Because of his shy nature Babba has been waiting on a home for a long time so has had plenty of house experience and has done well with his potty training and house manners in his foster home. Please consider giving this very special little guy your heart.

Augusta, GA (Lane)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Brown, 11.29.09
Untitled document Crayons is a sweet, outgoing girl that loves everyone and will give gentle hugs. She knows how to sit already and knows several other tricks. She can be vocal when left alone so would not be a good dog for apartment living. She seems to be cat and small dog tolerant and likes children. She gets along well with other dogs too. This is a very devoted girl that just wants to be with her family and will be a very loving pet.  Updated description! Through experience with her foster home, we think Crayons would be best suited to a home with at least one other dog for company and a human who is home a lot.  She doesn't like to be alone and is much more comfortable with people around.  Her energy and personality also respond best to being part of a pack.  She is an adorable little girl who bonds tightly with her humans and will return that attention joyfully. This is girl that is full of fun and love.

Adoption Status: Adopted by Lewis, 11.28.09
Untitled document Lady is a sweet but shy 60lb girl that is very timid with new people and will probably take a while to warm up to a new family. Because quick movements and loud noises can frighten her she would probably do better in a home with quiet older children rather than small kids. She is and cat/small dog tolerant. Lady will probably need a fenced yard because she spooks easily on leash. Lady has been moved from our TriCounty Tech Partnership Program into a foster home.

Richard is a small male and living in a condo foster home so would make a great apartment dog.  He is very quiet and potties well on leash.

Angel is a beautiful 58lb white girl with dark brindle spots. No she doesn't have a dirty nose in the photo. She just has a little muzzle stain on her nose that should go away with time. Angel gives kisses, loves to play with toys and has a weakness for hamburgers and french fries. She is small dog and cat tolerant too.

Adoption Status: Adopted by McMahan
Untitled document Baby Bunny is one of our tiniest females at just 48lbs. She is a petite, little, black girl that loves to snuggle. She can be a little timid at first but seems like she will warm up eventually. She has already decided that the best place in the house is the couch curled up next to her foster mom. Baby Bunny has discovered the joys of playing with toys and love to throw them around and pounce on them. She is going to be a fun little girl for some lucky family. Update from her foster home: Bunny seems to need to be around another outgoing greyhound and usually only approaches people when the other grey does. Like most shy dogs loud noises and quick movements can send her diving for cover so she would do best in a home without small children but might be OK with very calm quiet older kids. Because she is shy and tends to bolt when scared she must have a fenced yard.

Martinez, GA (Leonard)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Whitlock, 11.14.09
Untitled document Zea is truly one of those rare dogs that comes along only every so often. She is so loving and docile, a real doll! Zea is a beautiful 54-pound brindle girl who just turned four. She is a submissive girl who has no aspirations of being the lead sled dog, but that doesn't mean she is a wilting flower by any means! She is currently being fostered with both greys and small dogs, and has easily integrated into the pack. She loves to greet you on your arrival and will nuzzle with you to get the maximum amount of love she can. Her tail wags a million miles an hour! She is quiet when crated and will sometimes seek out her crate during the day to catch a few winks of 'quiet time,' but can also be found curled up on her doggie bed in the living room, protecting all occupants from any stuffies that may be lurking nearby. In addition to killing stuffies, she LOVES to chase a ball and will bring it back and drop it at your feet as long as you are willing to throw it. She rarely barks unless encouraged to do so, and her bark is surprisingly deep, especially for a smaller female. Once she gets over initial shyness to new people or situations, Zea is one of the friendliest greyhounds we have ever met. If you drop a pan on the floor, she may startle and dash out of the kitchen, but will quickly return to check out what made that loud noise. She does not exhibit Alpha behavior at all, but is so smart and willing to please that she learns quickly in order to please her human pack. Zea is not food agressive and will easily yield her dinner dish to you. She is small dog and child safe. She walks great on leash and stays right near you. She easily figured out stairs, so long as they are solid and not slotted/open (like a deck or pier). She would make a great first greyhound for someone, or would also fit well into an existing pack.

Untitled document Carrot (or Care Bear) is a very tiny, sweet, happy girl that doesn't know a stranger. She is mid level energy with enough energy to be fun and playful. She walks great on leash and likes to go for walks as long as they aren't too long. She went hiking once with her foster mom and didn't care for it much. She is a very girly girl and didn't care for the rough terrain. Two of Care Bear's favorite things are her chew toys and her people. If she does anything wrong she responds very well to correction - once or twice is usually all it takes because she wants to please. She is getting along well with the tiny dogs in her foster home and is getting used to the cats. She can be a little vocal when left alone so may not be the best dog for apartment living. Just look at that adorable face she is a hard one to resist!

He gets along great with the other dogs in his foster home and is very loving and playful. He walks nicely on a leash and is completely potty trained. Luke is intelligent and will do best with a family that enjoys obedience training and will be confident pack leaders. He will make an awesome addition to the right home! Luke tested cat tolerant and is living with small dogs in his foster home.

Adoption Status: Adopted by the Adams Family of Candler, NC
Rachel is a grinner and sometimes gets very carried away and chomps her teeth while she is grinning. Don't be fooled - she wouldn't dream of using her teeth for anything but smiling. Smiling is a submissive gesture in greyhounds and the smilers usually make wonderful pets that want to please. Rachel gets along great with other dogs.There is a very irritating mini-doxie in her foster home but Rachel has never once been bothered by him. She loves to go for walks and has even done long hikes with her foster mom. Rachel has some separation anxiety, but that is beginning to fall away and in time may not be an issue. She once followed her foster mom from room to room but now is even OK sleeping in a separate bedroom. She is most comfortable if she is in a crate when she is alone and that keeps her calm and out of trouble. She loves to go for rides and has not shown any sign of separation anxiety in a car and will just lay on the seat and wait for you if you get back. Rachel is a super sweet, outgoing girl that wants to be with you and wants to please. She is smart and learns quickly and has picked up on house manners fast. What a beautiful girl! She is going to make a wonderful pet for a very lucky family.

Untitled document Lady is a 2.5 year old brindle girl.  She's pretty timid and shy at first and will need some time to warm up to a new family. Because fast movements and loud noises make her uncomfortable she needs a home with quiet older children or no children.  Young active kids would probably scare her but she has warmed up to older children in her foster home. Lady loves to ride in the car and crates well.  She walks and potties on leash too so might be OK in living in an apartment or townhome.

Untitled document Barney is a gorgeous red brindle boy that didn't race. He is just 15 months old and decided to play rather than chase the lure in training. He is very calm and well behaved for such a young guy. He loves to go for rides and lays on the back seat and looks out the window. Barney potties well on leash so may be OK without a fenced yard if he gets regular walks. He crates happily and isn't much of a marker so should be easy to potty train. He gets along well with other dogs and let the girls in his pen at the farm boss him around even though he was bigger. He is a medium sized male with a very outgoing personality. With his calm, well behaved, friendly nature he would probably make an excellent Therapy Dog or just a great family pet. Barney is cat, kid and small dog tolerant.

She will do her business on leash but needs a little time to find the right place so may do fine without a fenced yard. Morning is a playful fun loving girl and SO cute!

Untitled document Wonda is a very sweet and friendly girl who was known in her kennel for wagging hard and getting excited by the attention she loves most from her humans. She passed her cat and small dog tolerance test and shows very little interest after being given a chance to sniff and check out the critters. Wonda is a very small girl who raced successfully for a long and knew her routine well. She wanted to race! She responds well to her name, comes when called, and responds right away to correction when she makes a mistake. Wonda has no problems with slick floors or adjusting to strange walkways and bridges around her foster home. This is a intelligent, outgoing girl that will make a great companion!

Zack is a very loving boy that does well with children 7 years and above. Due to his slightly shy nature, loud noises and abrupt movement tend to scare him. Zack loves to play with toys. He is a Velcro boy and does not want to leave your side.

Special note: Zack was adopted with Zee (Designed by Zee) three years ago, straight from the track.? They are very bonded to each other and make an absolutely perfect pair.? We can separate them if necessary, but it would be so marvelous to find a home searching for two best friends.

Untitled document Carl is a total love bug! He may have been quiet and calm initially, but now that he's settled in he is most definately a bouncy energetic 2 year old.? He'll settle down (on a pillow) when told to, but would rather be playing with a chew toy. He's never met a stranger and isn't shy about pushing to the front of the line when loving is being given out. He lays his head on the other pups backs or on your lap or arm when he wants attention. He has the most bewitching golden eyes, so don't look into them unless you're ready to fall in love! Nothing intimidates this confident boy. He's great on slippery floors, and stairs. He did well meeting small dogs but is not cat safe. On walks, he doesn't tug on the leash but does tend to wander in any and every direction to make sure he doesn't miss a thing. Reminders to stay focused are helpful. He isn't food aggressive at all but sure does love his chow, hopping up and down when his bowl is carried to the crate and he chomps his teeth. It's not a fast chatter but a very slow chomp, and really adorable. He will go in his crate when told to kennel up but he is the last one in. He is a beautiful solid brindle, not a white toe or even on his chest. Very affectionate and energetic!

Adoption Status: Adopted by Rutkowski, 8.09
Untitled document Hank celebrated his birthday on Dec 28th - the day he officially retired from racing. He is a super friendly guy that wants to be with people more than anything else. He walks wonderfully on leash because he just wnats to be right next to you. This tall guy has lots of personality and couldn't be any sweeter. He crates quickly but needs another quiet dog for company because he dislikes being left entirely alone. Hank likes to go for rides in the car. He passed his small dog test and while initially a little interested in the cat, responded well to correction and quickly lost interest. He should be trainable with cats with careful introductions and a few reminders on what is expected. Hank isn't comfortable in a home with the activity that comes with small children. This is a precious 'velcro doggy' who wants a quiet family to bond with. Owners who are home most of the time would be his dream!

Untitled document Doc's Whipper, affectionately called Doc is a beautiful red brindle. He is a handsome boy who has a lot of energy. He almost immediately realized that toys were for his personal entertainment! He does well with children and seems to welcome their attention. His sudden movements might be a bit much for small children. He responds well to correction and is learning that the kitchen counters are off-limits. He has a people oriented personality, and loves to be with his fmaily membes. His boundless energy and charm keeps everyone entertained and laughing. He is currently learning the do's and don't's of inside living and although very curious, he is adapting well. He walks well on a leash but requires a firm hand. What a great boy full of personality!

Adoption Status: Adopted by the Russell Family of Charlotte, NC on 8/21/09
Untitled document Polo boy has been a dream foster. Perfectly behaved in every way. Walks great on leash, picked up potty training quickly, great house manners from the start and very friendly and loving to everyone. His foster mom described him as a "Walmart Greeter" and says he greets everyone they meet on their walks like a long lost relative. His littermate is a therapy dog and Polo Boy would probably be an excellent candidate for that because of his easy going, tolerant personality. He is very good with the cat in his foster home and didn't even pay attention to a very small dog that tried to attack him on a walk. As perfect as Polo boy is he does have one problem. He arrived with a very small tumor on his foot. It was removed but is cancer and is likely to grow back in the next year. This isn't a type of cancer that is very painful or likely to move to other organs and kill him. It can be removed again when it comes back but each time it is removed it will harm more and more of his foot until he is likely to have to have his leg amputated. At this point he is not in any pain and has full use of his leg and foot so our vet has advised us not to amputate and let him keep the leg as long as he can. There is a chance that extensive radiation could slow the cancer down or stop it completely but that would be very expensive and the odds of it being successful aren't that good. Polo boy is looking for a special home that wants an almost perfect dog and won't mind if he ends up being a 3 legged dog at some point in the future. Amputations are pretty expensive and his family will need to be as sure as possible that they will be able to afford it when the time comes. Polo's adoption is being handled in a different way to help potential adopters with future medical treatment. If you are interested in helping this special boy, please contact GC Director Kim Owens.

Untitled document

Tune Town is a sweet girl who LOVES people. She is stunning with an unusually glossy, mahogany red and black brindle coat. She can be vocal when crated away from people so she would not be a good apartment dog. She potties on a leash so she might do OK without a fenced yard. She loved playing with the small dog in her first foster home so she should be good with dogs of all sizes. She loves people best, though, and would probably do best with a family with someone who is home a lot. She likes to go for rides and passed her cat test.

Congratulations to the Petak Family in SC! Pending Day 2.2.09

Untitled document Dee Dee is a sweet and loving girl! She is comfortable around men and wormen and soaks up any attention given by her humans. She is adapting very well to her new environment, enjoys her treats, and eats well. She is very independent and her love for people and independent personality would allow her to be placed in a situation where she is the only greyhound or pet in the home. Dee Dee is very curious and would spend hours in a small room investigating all of the treasures in the room but does not chew or destroy anything. Her foster families have told us she's absolutely no trouble at all....what a good girl!

Adoption Status: Adopted to Morris, 7.29.09
Untitled document Skeela is one of a kind! She is a greyhound who thinks she is a tiny little lap dog. She absolutely loves to snuggle with her humans and insists on being cuddled up whenever you sit down. As part of the rules foster homes do not allow the fosters on any furniture but Skeela's greatest joy in life is to sit in your lap so whoever adopts her needs to be ready for a TV watching companion. She is also great with the cat, quiet in her crate, sleeps through the night on her dog bed beside her human, and has not had a single accident in the house. She walks great on a leash, loves to give kisses and will roll over and ask for belly rubs. She is truly a people centric hound seeming to prefer the company of her human to other dogs. Whoever adopts her is getting a one in a million dog!

Untitled document

Kara is a cute happy little girl. She is well behaved and tries to please. Kara has quickly learned house manners and has done well with potty training. She is very devoted to her fmaily. She is pretty outgoing with most people and even more so once she knows you. Kara is so happy and waggy that she injured her tail wagging it and had to have it cropped three times before we finally docked it short enough that she couldn't hit anything with it and re-injure it. Now she has? a happily wagging tail stub. It really suits her, though, and couldn't be any cuter. Kara does have an unusually high prey drive towards other animals large and small. She has been able to be trained to live with a small dog and cat in her foster home with a lot of work and supervision but she would do better in a home with either no other animals or just other greyhounds. She needs careful introductions to any animal other than a greyhound and is gradually learning that she is not supposed to chase everything, but each new animals is a new experience for her. She walks great on leash and potties great on leash. She has been very quiet in her crate in her foster home but when she was in a kennel situation she was pretty loud and would excitedly bark whenever a person came close to get their attention. We are unsure whether she would be OK in an apartment.

Untitled document Annie is a social butterfly. She loves everyone big or small, male or female. She will crawl up in your lap to snuggle if given the chance. You won't find a more loving or sweeter little girl. She is a real beauty with a glossy black coat and beautiful golden eyes. Annie crates quietly and is very well behaved and has lived in a townhouse without disturbing the neighbors. She has home experience and already has excellent house manners. Annie likes to go for walks and will potty on leash so may be OK without a fenced yard. She gets along well with other greyhounds and large dogs. ANnie has learned to be OK with small dogs as long as she is properly introduced. She used to sometimes mistake them for bunnies so she often needs to sniff new small dogs before she understands that they are dogs. She probably has too high a prey drive to live with cats.

Untitled document Helen is being treated for a 'tarsocrural luxation'-- torn ligaments and tendons below her hock. She has an excellent plan for treatment and is expected to make a very good recovery. Updated Description! 5.4.09~ Helen is a sweet, laid back, tolerant girl which has made her a favorite at the vets. She accepts even painful treatments with no problem and is always happy to see the vet and vet techs. She is tolerant with small dogs and cats. She was able to move into a foster home for a short time and had very good manners there from the start. She had to be moved back to the vets because of some problems getting her leg to heal and is still at the vets now. Helen is quiet in her crate and potties well on leash so she may be a good apartment dog. We are optimistic that we will be able to save her leg and are hoping she makes a full recovery but she may end up with a limp or not having full use of the leg. Either way she will be an awesome pet for a lucky family.

Untitled document May has settled into her new foster home very nicely. She walks very well on leash & potties on leash, crates well & loves to go on car rides. May can be an active girl & just loves playing with her toys, squeakies best of all!! She's gotten along very well with long dogs & 5 lb dogs in her foster homes. She can get a little protective of toys she's playing closely with tho so is learning manners on proper sharing. She's a small to average size girl at around 62 lbs & has a gorgeous petite face. We got to introduce her to stairs which she took in stride with a little practice. May would love to have 2 legged or 4 legged siblings to play with & a fenced yard or play dates to stretch her legs every so often. She is a social butterfly & enjoys going to meet & greets to show off her beauty & meet everyone that will stop to pet her. May also enjoys the quiet moments of snuggling on the floor & would fit into almost any home!!
