Greyhound Crossroads

Arrest just arrived from another group that asked us to help them place dogs. Their vet died and they weren't able to get dogs vetted or adopted. Arrest started racing at the Dubuque race track. He was moved to Southland in Arkansas, then back to Dubuque, then to Wheeling in WV and then to Tri State in WV. In spite of racing 86 races, he only actually won 7 of them. He did get up to the top AA level once. His last race was February 20th of 2024 and he has been waiting on a home since then. Arrest's sire is the famous SH Avatar and his dam is Biodiesel. He is a big, tall guy that raced at 80lbs. He will turn 5 on October 29th. Arrest is a very, very, friendly, loving guy that will follow you around. He likes to cuddle on the couch or on the bed with people or other dogs. He even let a medium sized mixed breed dog sit on him while he was laying on a couch, so seems to be exceptionally tolerant. He is playful and happy. He passed his cat test with very little interest, so should be fine to live with cats. Arrest also did well when introduced to small dogs. About the only thing he really doesn't like much is slick floors. He is practicing on them at his foster home. He is an exceptionally loving guy that will just lean on you for love and will stand there as long as you will pet him. He is a calm guy that loved the kids he met.

Thunder just arrived from another adoption group that asked for our help. Their vet passed away, so they have been unable to get any dogs vetted for over 6 months. So these dogs have been waiting on vetting and homes for a very long time. Thunder ran 9 maiden races (for dogs that have never won a race) at Tri State in West Virginia. He placed in some of those, but wasn't able to win a single race, so he was retired in October of 2023. He has been waiting on a home since then. Thunder's sire is the famous Superior Panama and his dam is CET Sunny. He raced at 69 lbs and will turn 3 on October 20th. Thunder is a happy, friendly boy once he gets to know you. He can be just a little timid at first in new situations, but still eventually will go up to everyone for love and petting. A very sweet guy! Thunder is good with other dogs of all sizes. He is in a foster home with small dogs. Thunder had mixed results with cats. He was interested in them, but would redirect. He might be trainable, but we just feel that he was too interested to be safe living with cats, without a lot of training. He liked the kids he met a lot, so should be fine in a home with kids too. Thunder has had a toe injury on one of his back feet and one toe was amputated long ago. It is completely healed now and he doesn't seem to notice it. Thunder loves toys and takes them to his crate, so may be a bit of a toy hoarder.   UPDATE!  Thunder is available again for adoption, arriving on 12.14.24 to Jacksonville FL.  He has shown mixed results with small dogs so shouldn't be considered safe with them without more testing and training.

Buster just arrived from Australia. He only raced 7 races there and won 2 of them. His last race was December 4th 2023. He raced at 79lbs and is a tall, handsome, guy with a beautiful shiny coat. His sire is Dyna Double One and his dam is Lilac Izmir. He was born on April 16th of 2022. Buster is full of fun and loves to play with humans and other dogs. In Australia he lived with two retired greyhounds, a whippet and a Jack Russell and was very good with them. He is very social with other dogs and gets along with everyone. Buster was already home acclimated in Australia and was house trained there and had good house manners so he should be an easy addition to his new home. Whether it is a game of fetch, a run on leash, or just hanging out at home, Buster is is ready for anything. He does well traveling too. He was too interested in the cat to be able to live with them. We were able to redirect him some, but we would prefer a home with no kitties. Buster hasn't had long term exposure to kids although he really liked the kids he met. If you are looking for an outgoing, loving, playful dog, Buster is your guy!
