Pike (Longs SC)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Goodman, 12.19.10
Kimberly is a tiny brindle girl that is the smallest greyhound her foster mom has ever seen. She was overwhelmed when she first arrived but is warming up quickly and is coming up for love and starting to play with toys and other greyhounds in just a few days. Kimberly passed her cat and small dog tests at the track so should be able to live with either. She potties on leash just fine so may be OK without a fenced yard. She is a very curious girl that seems to learn fast. Kimberly's Pedigree

Age:

Brindle Female
Cat Tolerance:
Yes		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Charlotte, NC (Doby)
Adoption Status: Adopted By Pulliam Family 12/19/10
Ritzy is a young dark brindle female with a huge heart! She loves to cuddle. She will lay her head in our laps and she would sit in our laps if we let her. She gets along well with other dogs and with our very active boys (ages 10 months to 14 years). She is small dog and cat tolerant. She is a fun playful girl and would be great for a family with kids and/or other dogs. Ritzy has been living in a home and was returned along with her housemate Ramses because the owners couldn't keep them and not because of any behavior problems. Ritzy should be a fun well behaved addition to just about any family. She loves to go for rides as you can see in her photo.

Booboo
Age:
2 1/2		 Color/Gender:
Black Female
Cat Tolerance:
Yes		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
(Augusta)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Williams, 12.17.10
Booboo is a friendly, happy girl that was described as one of "the sweetest girls" at the kennel. Her personality really stood out to get her noticed in the crowd of 70 racers she lived with. Maybe part of that was her unusual name which certainly got everyone's attention. Don't worry, she is not a "pooper" and hasn't had too many "boo boos". Booboo passed her cat and small dog tolerance tests at the track so should be able to live with both. She is very well behaved in her foster home and with the other dogs in their home. Where she really shines is at meet and greets because she really loves her public and is making plenty of fans wherever she goes. This is a great girl that would do well in just about any situation and would be the perfect first greyhound or 10th. She walks nicely on leash too! And yes she does have an unusual chocolate brown spot on her nose. She is a one of a kind for sure. Booboo's pedigree

Leatherman Columbia Area
Adoption Status: Adopted to Riley, 12.17.10
Gabby is a sweet, seven year old girl that is already home acclimated and has been in a home for years. She is being rehomed along with her housemate Nora because her family is moving and are not taking the dogs with them. She is a sweet girl that is good with kids and has lived with small dogs. She has too high of a prey drive to live with cats though. More as we get to know her.

Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Greenville, SC (Van Lew)
Adoption Status: Adopted to Greene, 12.17.10
Bubba is an Economy Return and has been in a home so is already home acclimated.  He is a big tall, pretty boy with a wonderfully quiet, laid-back personality but does have a playful goofy side too that makes him a fun boy.  He is very sweet and safe with small animals and children. As you can see from his photos Bubba does have unique ears that sometimes end up in a position that make him look like he has been in a wind storm. He is such a cute guy and so well behaved. No behavior problems that we can see from this guy. He is going to fit right into some lucky home as if he has been there forever.

Racing Name:
Kohle(no racing name)		 Pet/Kennel Name:
Kohle
Age:
puppy		 Color/Gender:
Dark Brindle Male
Cat Tolerance:
Yes		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Greenville, SC
Adoption Status: Adopted to Hays, 12.14.10

Kohle is one of the rare greyhound puppies that became available because of an accidental breeding of two greyhounds. We received 4 pups from this litter along with their mother Sara (Sarandon). Greyhound puppies are rarely available because most pups are bred for racing and are not available for sale or adoption to the public until after their racing careers are over. Greyhound puppies are much different than the typical laid back calm adult greyhound. Pups are like puppies of other breeds - hyperactive, destructive and need constant supervision. We don't recommend them for the average busy family.

Update after adoption: Kohle has grown up to be a tall well behaved young greyhound. He still gets together occasionally to play with his littermates. He also encourages greyhound adoption at Greyhound Crossroads events.

Danger Girl		 Pet/Kennel Name:
Sophie
Age:

White and Brindle Female
Cat Tolerance:
Yes		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Augusta GA
Adoption Status: Adopted by Hamilton, 12.12.09

This pretty little girl has fallen on some hard times and ended up in a shelter. Sophie is safe with us now and has been checked and given a dental by our vet and is ready for adoption.  She tolerant of dogs, cats, and small children. Sophie is very sweet and even though she is an older girl still is playful and silly. This is a wonderful girl that is just a little shy with new people at first but warms up very quickly. Sophie would love to spend her birthday on Dec 8th with her new family.

Update after adoption: Sophie was adopted and was well loved until an illness took her suddenly toward the end of 2011.

Age:

Brindle Male
Cat Tolerance:
Yes		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Simpsonville, SC (Clark)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Dill family of Greer 12/12/10
Chug came back into the GC adoption process through no fault of his own.  His owner, who loves him very much, is experiencing severe allergic reactions that can't be corrected with medication.  She describes him as the perfect dog and is trying to do everything possible to ease his way into another home.  Not only will she be donating $100 of his adoption fee on her own, but the new family will have the advantage of his next year under the Banfield Animal Hospital (PetSmart) health care program.  Chug comes with his own care package of supplies as well. This is a wonderful, sweet, home-acclimated boy coming from a situation where his family has done everything possible. Chug is calm and well behaved but playful enough to be a fun guy. His foster home says he is quiet and gets along great with their many cats and small dogs. He has been absolutely no problem and very well behaved throughout the transition to his foster home. Since he is so quiet and well behaved he is likely to be a good dog for apartment or townhouse living. Let's get him back home for the holidays!

Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Roberts in Columbia
Adoption Status: Adopted by Hudson, 12.11.10
Hi my name is Ty. I am available for adoption because of the economy. I was a very good pet and my family wanted to keep me but were forced to put me up for adoption because of a job loss and having no place to move with a dog. I am already used to living in a home and I have great house manners. I have lived with children before and really love them. Noisy crying babies freak me out a little though so I would prefer to live with kids that are toddler age or older. I used to attend meet and greets to promote greyhound adoption so am a greyhound ambassador. I am very friendly and outgoing and was great at my job. I love to go for walks and will potty on leash so will be fine without a fenced yard. I lived in an apartment with my previous family so would be quiet enough for apartment living. I am looking for a family that wants a mature lady with manners to share their life with. I am a playful, fun girl that still loves to play and gets along well with other dogs of all kinds. Because of my age I have been selected for a reduced adoption fee of $200! Link to her pedigree

Piper (No Racing Name)		 Pet/Kennel Name:
Piper
Age:
10 months		 Color/Gender:
brindle female
Cat Tolerance:
Testing		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Johnson (Greenville, SC)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Lewis, 12.8.10
Piper is a very small brindle female pup at only 35lbs. She is 10 months old so probably won't get much larger and is likely to stay exceptionally tiny. She was originally adopted from a shelter so not much is known about her. She has no ear tattoos so can't be identified but looks like she is pure greyhound. Piper is a very friendly confident pup that loves people. She has lived in a home before and was given up because her family didn't know that greyhound puppies NEED a place to run and they didn't have any place for her to play. Greyhound puppies are not calm and laid back like adult greyhounds. They must have a place to play and run and need plenty of exercise like any other puppy. So far Piper has been very well behaved in the house but is an active dog that would love to have other dogs to play with or an active family to play with. She especially loves running and playing with kids and is pretty gentle even though she is pup. She loves balls and toys of all types and is very playful. She does jump up to give hugs and we are working on stopping that. Piper likes to snuggle and must have slept in bed with her former family because she cuddles right up. She loves to get right up in your lap and is small enough to be a lap dog. Piper is very smart and learned how to sit and shake in just a few minutes. She is very food motivated and responds quickly to training if treats are involved. Piper has grown a little since she arrived and has put on 5lbs. She now weighs 40lbs.

Locomaxx		 Pet/Kennel Name:
Max
Age:
1.5		 Color/Gender:
Black Brindle Male
Cat Tolerance:
Yes		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Charlotte, NC
Adoption Status: Adopted by Witt, 11/21/10

Max never really ended up being a racer which is why we got him so young. He wouldn't come out of the starting box. He is a very tall boy that is a gentle giant and is actually pretty timid. This shy guy is very happy in his crate and so quiet in his crate he could easily be an apartment dog. He also potties well on leash walks so doesn't require a fenced yard. Max likes to lean up against people and feels more comfortable if he can lean against you if he is nervous or in a new place. Like most shy dogs he is frightened of loud noises and quick movements so might adapt better to a home without small, loud children. Max loves his crate and looks on it as a safe haven and will choose to hide there if something scares him. He walks perfectly on leash without pulling unless he gets startled. When startled he tends to bolt for his crate. He learned stairs quickly and seems to catch on to new things pretty quickly. He is warming up the longer he is in his foster home and is starting to greet people happily that come to visit. So far he has been exceptionally calm for such a young guy. He has started playing with the dogs in his foster home and is exceptionally tolerant even with a puppy. Max is submissive with other dogs and has shown no sign of any dominance at all so seems like he would get along very well in a home with a more dominant dog. He is very cat and small dog tolerant.  He LOVES to chew on bones but hasn't shown any sign of wanting to chew on anything else. This is a great boy that will just need some time to warm up to his new family.

Update after adoption: Max has been spotted at many GC events encouraging greyhound adoption. He is not the shy boy that he used to be and has really come out of his shell. He is working toward being a Therapy Dog.

P's Chill		 Pet/Kennel Name:
Raccoon
Age:
3		 Color/Gender:
Fawn with White female
Cat Tolerance:
Trainable		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Greenville, SC (Horton)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Horton, 11.17.10
Raccoon is a friendly girl with very unusual markings. She got her nickname at the track because of the black around her eyes. We haven't seen a fawn dog with this much white before either. She has a white blaze, a wide white collar around her neck, white stockings that go nearly all the way up her legs and half of her tail is even white. Raccoon figured out how to get off her kennel muzzle at the track so she ended up being the only greyhound that didn't have to wear one. She got along well with all the other girls in the turn out pen so she never really needed one. Raccoon loves to play with toys and carry them around. Her favorite at the track was an old cleaned out bleach bottle that she would proudly carry around. She figured out steps right away and has no problem with them. Raccoon has shown that she has a pretty high prey drive but has been OK with the small dog in her foster home after a proper introduction and supervision. She seems to be OK with cats too after an initial sniff but needs to be supervised when cats or small dogs move quickly around her at first until she realizes what they are. She responds very well to correction with cats and small dogs. Raccoon can be loud in the crate sometimes so may not be a good dog for apartment living. She has learned to potty on leash so may be able to live in a home without a fenced yard if her family was willing to leash walk her. Her pedigree

Adoption Status: Adopted by Peel, 11.11.10
Shilo is a pretty boy who's returning to GC through an economy return.  His current foster hosts describe him as being very, very sweet and hasn't been any problem at all.  He crates quietly, has been perfectly clean inside with no accidents, and has shown absolutely no interest in chasing any of the cats or small dogs he's met since his arrival.  Shilo's original GC fosters had equally nice experiences with him among their pack and feel he's just a terrific, well-rounded boy. Shilo just needs a little visit with our group vet just for a checkup, but he is available for appointments to visit.  This wonderful boy is just looking for his forever family!

Age:
4 in Aug.		 Color/Gender:
Red Brindle Male
Cat Tolerance:
Testing		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
No		 Fostered by (location):
Myrtle Beach (Small)
Adoption Status: Adopted Brinegar, 10.20.10
Santana is a handsome guy that has good house manners and has already been home acclimated. He didn't get along well with the other large male dog in his former home but was tolerant of the small female dogs. Santana would do better in a home with a female dog or a home with no dogs. He walks like a dream on leash and is calm and well behaved. Santana is all heart and totally devoted to his people and even has a heart shape in the fur between his eyes. He loves to have his ears scritched and will stand there as long as you will continue. He is the rare greyhound that has never tried to get up on any furniture. Santana loves to go for rides in the car and plays with balls and ropes. He kennels well but usually is left out because he never has chewed or messed up anything in his home. Santana would do best in a home with no young children.  Foster Home Update! Santana is one really marvelous boy!  He LOVES to play and will bring instant laughs to anyone closeby.  He really is devoted to people and very much wants to be touched and loved.  The only difficulty he's displayed in foster care is a slight hesitation to tile/vinyl floors, and if startled or approached by something odd, he tends submissive responses.  Santana is a great dog who's absolutely ready to go home!

Good w/ Children:

Myrtle Beach, SC (Brydiger)
Adoption Status: Adopted, 10.20.10
Gem is a playful 8 year old who gets along well with cats and small dogs. She loves to chase squirrels in the yard and competes for 1st place while walking with her fellow greys. She does well with children but, would probably be best with children over 8 years. Gem seems to have a special affection for the man of the house and would be a wonderful pet for a retired owner or a stay at home parent. Gem cannot go an entire workday without going outside but, could probably easily learn to use a doggie door. She is well behaved, walks well on a leash, loves squeaky toys and is quite a love. Gem has been selected as the recipient of GC member support donations, lowering her adoption fee to $200.

Blue Streak is very friendly and loves to give kisses to anyone that puts their face down near his. He is very loving towards everyone he meets. He seems especially drawn to children and also passed his cat and small dog test with flying colors so should be able to live with either. He seems to get along well with the other dogs in his foster home including an annoying pup. This a guy that has it all - looks and personality!  Blue Streak's Pedigree

Cat Tolerance:
Yes		 Small Dog Tolerance:

Good w/ Children:
Yes		 Fostered by (location):
Augusta, GA (Long)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Hartzman 9.19.10
Nora is a cute little black and white, six year old greyhound that is being rehomed by her family with her greyhound housemate Gabby because they are moving. Since she has been in a home most of her life Nora is already home acclimated and has great house manners. She is good with cats, kids and small dogs so would fit in, in just about any home. Nora's litter never finished the registration process when they were young so none of them ever raced. We know one of her brothers well and he is a wonderful dog too. Nora had an injury to one of her legs when she was young and has a slight limp especially when she first gets up. This doesn't effect her life much other than keeping her from going up and down flights of stairs. She is fine going for short walks but isn't going to want to be a jogging or hiking partner. This is the perfect dog for a busy family that doesn't have much time to spend exercising a dog or maybe a lower energy family that can't do much walking.  Link to her pedigree

JJ is a sweet friendly boy that passed his cat and small dog tests so should be able to live with either. He is a very young guy that just celebrated his his second birthday at the end of June. He is playful and enjoys running and playing with the other dogs in his foster home. He seems to be a very bright boy because he has already figured out where the dog food is stored and how to lift the lid to the container to help himself. He has learned how to play with toys and is doing great on his housetraining. JJ loves "help" with the laundry although he is generally unfolding what was folded and carrying it around to decorate the bedroom with it. This is a fun guy! He is a half brother to one of our other adoptable males, Bacchus. Link to his pedigree

He was so happy to be at our recent Petco greyhound meet and greet. He thought everyone was there just to pet him and he was in heaven. Homer crates quietly but would prefer to be out with his people. This is a tiny, little lover boy that is going to be a great addition to a lucky family. Link to his pedigree

Morton is a very tiny, red brindle male. He was an excellent racer that raced for several years. He had a cut on his back leg that retired him although it is healed now and won't impact his activity at all in the future. He loves to give hugs and kisses and has a lot of personality. He passed his cat and small dog test and has lived with them in his foster home. Morton is tiny enough to crawl into your lap to snuggle and that is exactly where he wants to be. He loves to play with stuffed animals and will empty his toy box and hide all his toys in his crate. He potties well on leash walks and is very quiet and well behaved when left. He would be the perfect dog for apartment or townhouse living and is being fostered in an apartment. What a fun little guy! Link to his pedigree

Walter is a gentle giant weighing well over 80lbs. He is a sweet boy that is very outgoing and will try to get his head in your lap at every opportunity for petting. He gets along well with other dogs and is well behaved. He does need some work on leash manners because he is quite strong and pulls pretty hard. He is already learning house manners and is doing really well in his foster home with their small dogs and other greyhounds. Walter is a littermate to one of our new arrivals Jeserell. Here is his pedigree

Update: his foster home has decided to adopt him and have renamed him Mayer!

Greenville, SC
Adoption Status: Adopted by Bowden, 9.11.10

Bennett is a dignified older gentleman in the rare position that we know very little about him. At the grand age he has reached, he very much deserves to have that special place to call home where he is safe and loved. Bennett is ready to follow you home! Update from his foster home! He is a perfect gentleman, never having an accident inside and living peacefully with all the other residents in his foster home including small dogs. He also is very tolerant of all cats he has met and seems to be drawn to children. He adores having his throat rubbed and will patiently stand with his head raised as long as the attention continues. If his humans are seated he gently places his head in their lap. Even though he is farther along in age than most of our dogs, Bennett is very spry and active and still loves to run and play. Bennett especially enjoys walks in the neighborhood and wants a family that will do that with him. They don't have to be long, just a short walk makes him very very happy. He never meets a stranger and everyone lucky enough to give him a rub falls in love! Let's help this precious older fella find the perfect home to spend the rest of his retirement in peace and safety. He has been chosen by our members for special gifts and support, reducing his adoption fee to $200.

Update after adoption: Sawyers foster family decided to keep him. They had already decided to adopt him when he was diagnosed with cancer. They did the adoption paperwork that day to make it official that he had a home for the rest of his life. Sadly he lived just a few more months and crossed the rainbow bridge.

Dee is a tiny, light fawn brindle girl without many stripes. She was too shy for a kennel situation and they had difficulty catching her after races. Her trainer thinks she will blossom in a quiet home and be a loving pet though. Like most shy dogs she probably would do best in a home with quiet, older children or no children because she may be frightened by yelling and fast movement. Dee crates quietly and loves her crate. Like most shy greyhounds, she sees it as her safe place. She is curious and wants to interact and will come up and bump you with her nose but then quickly back away. Dee seems to be more comfortable with women than men. Link to her pedigree

Update on Dee from her foster home: She is doing very well. She is very shy, but very curious. She wants to know what everything is, but is often scared. She's got guts, though, because she will slowly come back again and again until she can figure out the new thing. She loves being outside with all of the smells and sights. She is also getting more and more comfortable with handling. In fact, she makes sure that she is always in the same room that I am in. If I move, she is right behind me. She loves getting petted, but is still a little scared to come up and ask for love. But with a little coaxing she will generally come get a few scratches. Dee is a very good eater! She loves her food!! She is a complete fool for any kind of meat and also cheddar cheese.

Dee had her first trip to the beach last night, and she loved it! She even did reasonably well with the people on the beach. She did let a couple of people pet her, which is very impressive, since she is so shy. She was completely unafraid of the water, and just walked right in. She wasn't the least bit fazed by the waves washing up on her feet, either. She had a wonderful time exploring all of the new smells. She is completely comfortable with other dogs of all sizes, and still hasn't given my cats so much as a sniff. This is one super sweet girl. She is going to make a devoted companion, and is going to be a little velcro girl. She just needs some time to gain some confidence.

Update: Once Dee learned to trust her foster mom she has bonded very tightly and is very loving. She is still wary of strangers but is getting better. She gets along great with other dogs and cats.

He is such a good boy and would be perfect for the first time Greyhound owner. He is a big, dark brindle male, full of silliness and playfulness. Chris loves attention, gives kisses and grins for his humans! Gets along well with small dogs and cats. This guy is tall dark and handsome with personality plus! He and Motif (another of our available hounds) look like twins. Anyone for a matched pair?

Nitika is a cute little girl that already has a lot of white on her face for her age. She has a sweet, outgoing, curious personality. Natika has been tested more than once with cats and may be trainable for an owner with experience in introductions and training but is very interested initially. She passed her small dog test after initial curiosity and sniffing and has responded well to small dogs that approach on walks. Her foster family reports that she has adjusted to her new life quickly and is doing amazingly well. She is very sociable, loves attention from visitors, and hasn't displayed any separation anxiety when left alone. Nitika is already learning 'down' and has shown fast improvement on her leash manners. She is also doing fantastic on potty training and stairs. They describe her as an awesome dog! Update! Natika has been in foster care for awhile now and has perfect house manners and is great on leash. This girl is as sweet and as close to perfect as a girl could get. She is ready for a home!

ScoobyDoo is a beautiful boy and very good too! He is a big guy that is still a playful pup at heart. He has those sweet big eyes with lots of eyeliner that will melt the heart of a greyhound-lover! He has showed no interest in chasing cats or small dogs so could live with either.  Scooby seeks out the company of children when he has been around them. When visiting our vet for his work, he made lots of friends there playing with the staff. This guy has personality plus and was one of the kennel favorites at the track because of his silly happy personality - it was also what got him his nickname of Scooby Doo. Nothing seems to bother him and he will want to do whatever you are doing. This is a guy that just wants to be with you although he will happily crate if you are gone.

Update after adoption: Scooby Doo has been renamed Chase and is now a Therapy Dog!

Mickey is a beautiful boy who is very happy and outgoing and has the cutest ears! He is also very sweet and will lay his head in your lap to have his ears and neck rubbed. Mickey has a goofy, fun personality and would make someone a wonderful companion. He is smart, eager to please, and listens well and has learned to sit on command. Mickey enjoys running around and playing in the yard with the other dogs in his foster home. However, he would also do well as an only dog since he is not dependent on the other greyhounds. He gets along wonderfully with other greyhounds and is very respectful of other dogs. Mickey does well with smaller dogs and is getting better with cats every day, although he is still very curious about them. He walks well on leash, although he gets a bit excited and is very curious in new situations. Mickey crates well although it may take him a little time to settle down if he is crated away from the family at night. Mickey is a graduate of our TriCounty Tech Partnership Program where the staff and students at TriCounty Tech love this beautiful boy and became very attached to him.

Tequila is a sweet, happy, playful, older girl that was discovered wandering loose, starving and in horrible condition. She had been in an adoptive home for years but wasn't cared for and looked like she had even been attacked by another dog. This was one of the worst neglect cases we have seen. Tequila still looks pretty rough now and doesn't have much hair due to a skin condition that will require some baths a couple of times a week for awhile. It looks like we have made some progress already and soon Tequila will be back to her former beauty with some TLC. Tequila has great house manners and has fit into her foster home like she has always been there and enjoys playing with their greyhound. She is very friendly and is good with other dogs, cats and kids. Tequila is a good girl and is looking for a family that will love and appreciate her. She should be a wonderful easy addition to just about any family. Congratulations to her foster family that decided they couldn't let this one go!

Update after adoption: Tequila has become a meet and greet dog for Greyhound Crossroads! She attends events encouraging people to adopt greyhounds. She lives in the country and loves taking walks with her dad. She has completely gotten over her skin condition and has a healthy full coat now with only a few scars to remind her of her past.

Dara is small dog safe but has shown some interest in her foster home kitties when they run but her foster mom is working with her on leaving the kitties alone. If you want a sweet, friendly girl that will be great in just about any situation then Dara is the girl for you!

Opium loves attention and puts on a little "wiggle-butt" show when talked to. She is not cat safe and hasn't been tested with very small children yet, but she did just fine with the older children who have already visited with her. This is a great dog who should be a perfect first greyhound or the next addition to an established pack....perfect just about anywhere!

Toast is a very large, very handsome red male at 80lbs. His nose is probably the longest we have ever seen because of his large size combined with an overbite. He is a true needle nose and is truly a one of a kind. He is very friendly and would love to be a lap dog. He is a couch potato and will sit next to you and rest his head on the back of your shoulders. Toast is quite the snuggler already. He travels well and will choose to sit on the seat and look out the window if allowed. He is a great guy that gets along well with other dogs of all sizes and is quite the gentle giant. He would probably be an excellent Therapy dog because of his fiendly nature and easy going personality.

Tony has been exceptionally well behaved in his foster home and seems to like the small dogs there and never tries to chase them. He gets along well with the big dogs too. He likes the children he has met so should be fine in a home with them. Tony is great on leash and doesn't pull. He might be a great agility prospect because he can clear a 3 foot fence with ease. He will need fencing that is higher to contain him. This is a great boy! Link to his pedigree

Chato just arrived. She broke her leg recently so was retired from racing. The break doesn't seem to be a bad one so she should be fine to run around and play in a month or so after it heals. She will be in a splint until it heals. Her trainer describes her as a tiny, bubbly girl that follows her around trying to get her attention. She is a tiny 53lb white and black girl with two big black spots on her back that resemble angel wings and some smaller black freckles (ticking). She did great at her first dog event and would go up calmly to people and lean against them to be petted. Chato seems to like to travel and will hop up on the seat and lay down for the ride. She has done great with the very small dogs and cats in her foster home so should be fine living with either. Chato is a half sister to Lily and CurlyQ, two of our other available girls. Her pedigree

Update: Hi! my name's Chato. My hobbies include loving on you, leash walks, and snuggling. Ok ok, I love eating too! What i'm looking for in a family is someone to love me back, help me stretch my legs a lil, and keep my food bowl full. I'm a very good girl, i just want to make you happy. I don't mind having brothers and sisters but i'm ok with being an only child too. If littler dogs growl at me or snap I just walk away. I am such a good girl. I learned to go potty on a leash really good, and i can even walk on slick floors like hardwood and tile with my splint. So they tell me I could live in an apartment or without a fenced yard. My leg is healing up so well that you can barely tell where I broke it now, I can hardly wait until I can run around and play again. I am a pretty low energy girl so don't require much exercise. I would be perfect for a low energy owner that likes to just go for short walks.

Vanna was a kennel favorite while racing because of her sweet, friendly, calm disposition. The fact that she is so beautiful probably played a part in that too.

She seems to have a very low prey drive and had no interest in chasing small dogs or cats. This is a super sweet girl that even stands out in a kennel full of dogs. Vanna loves to play with toys and likes rope toys and stuffed animals best. She will throw them around and pounce on them.

Update after adoption: Vanna was adopted a couple of times but kept coming back to her foster home. They finally decided that she was going to stay - she had known she was supposed to all along. Vanna now promotes greyhound adoption at greyhound events in the Charlotte area.

Untitled document Motif is a very sweet loving boy that was returned because his family was relocating and couldn't take him with them. He ended up being heartworm positive so underwent treatment. He has made a full recovery and has been released by our vet for adoption. This is a guy who has already learned the ropes of life in a house so will make a wonderful easy addition for just about any family. Motif has lived with cats and small children and is currently living with small dogs so should be able to fit into just about any home. He is a well behaved boy with good house manners. He is talkative and will get louder sometimes when left alone so might not be the best dog for an apartment. Motif would however be an excellent watch dog. He is the rare greyhound that will actually alert you whenever someone comes onto the property. He is barking with joy and wants attention so isn't a guard dog at all - just a wonderful watch dog. Motif is a lower energy guy that is great on leash and likes to go for walks but isn't going to require a lot of exercise so would be perfect for a lower energy owner. He is a very devoted loving boy that absolutely adores his people and wants to be beside you all the time. He likes to play with other dogs and but LOVES to be with people even more. A great guy and so CUTE! Motif has been chosen by the GC membership for sponsorship, plus an individual member has generously donated $50 toward his adoption fee! Motif's fee will now be only $150!

He does greyhound adoption events to promote greyhound adoption and is a performer with the Hounds of East Fairhaven which is a group that promotes greyhound adoptions at the Georgia and Carolina Renaissance Festivals. Miles earned his Canine Good Citizen title at 8 months old and does agility and obedience. He grew up into a very tall handsome guy. He still gets together with his brother Otto to play regularily and occasionally plays with Kohle and his mother Sara too.

Ron, Gem, and CJ are all housemates coming back to start over because of Economy returns. Ron is the sweetest, most affectionate of the three and also the funniest. He loves to lay down with his head on your lap, and we will nudge for more pets and love. He is comfortable being the unassertive 'bottom dog' of the three pack members. He loves to "go crazy" by himself in the back yard, running in random patterns around the back yard at full speed, then will stop, crouch down, scratch up some dirt, and take off again. Ron loves the young son in his home and has always done great with him from birth. He's a dog that is most comfortable with his routine, loves people and loves to get attention from humans. He also is a great leash walker. His greatest fear is thunder and will do best in a place where he can get lots of love and patience.

Adrenaline is a wonderful boy. He grins as you can see in his photo. He snuggles and cuddles and is a real love bug. He is a little shy about loud noises and quick movements and seems more comfortable around women than men, but warms up quickly with a little patience. He is one of the few greyhounds I have ever met who loves to play fetch-bringing his squeaky toy back to you again and again. He hasn't done a single naughty thing in the house-no chewing-no accidents-no counter surfing-you would think he lived in a home all his life! And his greatest joy in life is snuggling up with his human. He loves the company of the other dogs-but would likely be fine as a single dog so he could have all your attention. Adrenaline does have a fractured metatarsal bone in his ankle that will be a chronic issue for him after hard exercise or running. He will need joint supplements and some type of pain management available the rest of his life. Right now he is on crate rest to stabilize that injury. Once he is done he should only be sore after really hard play and will always be able to join you on walks. He is a wonderful sweet boy just waiting for the perfect family.His Pedigree

Update after adoption: His foster family decided to keep him and he is now living with his actual mother.
