Greyhound Crossroads

Bob initially came in from the Sanford Orlando Race Track. He a gorgeous all white boy except for a red spot over one eye that looks a bit like an eyebrow and a little color on his ears. He is a mid sized guy that raced at 69lbs only ran 30 races. He started out racing at Tri State in WV but didn't do well there so was moved to the Orlando Track. He only won 2 races during his career so was retired young. Bob will turn 4 on September 18th. His sire is Handball Victory and his dam is Snap A Heel. Bob is a happy boy that can be bouncy and silly in short spurts. He passed his cat and small dog tests and lived with several cats in his previous home. Bob was in an adoptive home since June of 2016 and has also been called Darby so seems to respond to both names. He was returned because he growled over his space and toys. His foster mom hasn't seen any of that behavior. Since he has arrived, Bob seems like he can be a little timid in new situations and isn't a really confident dog. He seems to do better with other dogs around him. He is a great guy with good house manners and is home acclimated. Because he has shown possessiveness over toys, Bob needs a home with no small children. Bob has been a very well behaved guy in foster care and we think he just needs other dogs to show him the ropes rather than being an only dog. He is being fostered with cats and larger dogs and is great with both.

Princess just arrived from a kennel closing at the Orlando Race Track. She also raced at Orange Park in Jacksonville FL. Princess raced 29 races and only won two of those, so retired pretty quickly. She is a 60lb brindle female that will turn 3 on December 10th. Her sire is Dragon Fire and her dam is Super C Ashley. Princess seems like a happy friendly girl that loves everyone she meets. She is too interested in cats and small dogs that look like squirrels or bunnies to be able to live with them but she gets along well with medium and larger sized dogs. Princess is very friendly towards kids when she meets them, but doesn't like to be bothered when laying down or sleeping. We think she would do better in a home with no kids that would trip over her or bother her when she is sleeping. She would be an excellent girl for an adult only family. She is waggy and happy and will try to lay on your lap to get attention. She is very happy and silly. A very sweet girl that loves people and attention. She is fully vetted and ready to go home. She does complain about being in her crate sometimes so probably wouldn't be a good dog for an apartment. This is a cute little girl with a sweet personality. She is a little higher energy than the average greyhound so only sleeps most of the day and not all of the day. She is always up for any adventure in between naps.

Christy came in from the Birmingham Race Track. She raced 50 races there but it took her 18 before she won one race. She eventually won one more race but mainly just placed. She just turned 3 on July 7th. Her sire is the famous Djays Octane and her dam is WWW Mia Hamm. Christy did not pass her cat test. She was very interested at first but did eventually decide to leave the cat alone after he smacked her a few times but we think that she would do best in a home with no cats. She did fine with the small white dog she met though and showed no interest in him at all other than a casual sniff or two. Christy is a happy greyhound and her tail wags most of the time. She loves everyone she meets and seems comfortable in every situation. She jumped in the van and laid down for the trip. Nothing seems to phase her. Christy would be an excellent meet and greet dog because she is so social, she thrives on attention and is so loving. She has a little more energy than the typical greyhound so doesn't just lay around all the time. She does still lay around a good share of the time but still is up for a walk or anything else fun her family may do. Christy's foster mom has been working on her leash skills because she does pull at first and she is much better. Christy has the most wonderful, outgoing personality. She has been in foster care for awhile so already is home acclimated and doing great on house manners. Christy is a gorgeous girl that is always happy and so so sweet.

She had her leg fixed at the track and she was sent to Pro Greyhound to compete her rehab. Pro Greyhound is a 501C3 group that does surgeries and rehab on injured greyhounds with the help of your donations. Blues leg is healing up well and as soon as she is released by Pro Greyhound's vets she will be available for adoption though our group.

He raced 34 races mostly at Palm Beach but also raced a few at Derby Lane. He wasn't a great racer so was retired pretty young. He turned 3 on May 11th. Diesel's sire is the famous Djays Octane and his dam is Deanos Liz. Diesel is a friendly boy that is very sweet. Be sure to check his other pictures to see a cute one of him as a puppy.

Cord came to us from a Florida farm where he has been living since he retired from racing in March of 2016. He has been waiting over a year and a half for a group to take him. He only raced 36 races in Palm Beach and only actually won 2 of those. Cord turned 4 on June 20th. His sire is the famous Craigie Whistler and his dam is Atascocita Miama, He was owned by Atascocita Racing which is why that is the first part of his name. Cord has a very old break to his back right leg that is long healed and shouldn't cause him any problems as a pet. He can run and play normally but does have a slight barely noticeable limp. Cord travels well and just got in the van and laid down on the trip up. He potties on leash nicely so may do fine without a fenced yard if someone was willing to leash walk him. He is very quiet so may be good for a townhouse or apartment. He seems like a very calm well behaved guy that is calmly friendly. Cord liked the children he met and was fine even with a cat running past him. Cord seems to be exceptionally low prey drive and had no interest in chinchillas he lived with. He did great at a doggy daycare with even the smaller dogs. Cord is very laid back and is perfectly happy laying on his bed watching things going on around him and doesn't need to be the center of attention. He may seek out attention more as he gets more comfortable with a new family. He does seem like he would do best in a home with other dogs. He is fine for a few hours completely alone, but seems like he gets stressed when there are no other dogs around him and he is left for an 8 hour work day.

Finn just 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 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; however, 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 was very calm and well behaved around small dogs though, so should be fine to live with them. 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 probably do well in a home with older kids he could play with. What a cute boy he is, with one ear that stands straight up most of the time and one that only goes straight up sometimes. He has a lot of personality and has a lot of love to give.

Raider just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Race Track. He also raced at the Sarasota Track and Naples Ft Myers. Raider raced 67 races mainly at the C level but did get up into A briefly. He raced mostly the longer distance races because he did best on those. Raider raced at 77lbs. He is a sweet, calm boy that is friendly and good on leash. He will turn 4 on December 29th. His sire is HL's Tod N Tyler and his dam is Gable Roseanne. Raider passed his cat and small dog tests easily. He is a quiet, calm guy that has been very quiet in his kennel so may be a good choice for apartment living. The only time he makes any noise is around feeding time when he does a soft whine and when he hears a fire truck he sings a long roooooo. He has been in a foster home with an Italian Greyhound and has been good with him. He traveled well to the vet and back. More as we get to know him.

Shock just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Race Track. He only had one official race there though and raced at Derby Lane in FL, Southland in Arkansas, and Bluffs Run in IA before that. He was actually pretty good getting up to B level at the top Race track Southland briefly. Then for some reason he just dropped to the lowest D level even after being moved down to slower less competitive tracks. It looks like he would just give in to the other dogs if they wanted to take the lead. Although he traveled a good bit from track to track he seemed to be pretty stressed by the trip up from Florida. He rode well and just got in and laid down but acted pretty stressed for a day after he arrived. He seems like a sensitive guy that is calm and well behaved. He is very quiet in his crate. His trainer says he always kept his crate clean and was a very good with the other dogs, just a very nice guy. Shock passed his cat and small dog tests easily without much interest in either. His sire is KC And All and his dam is Competing Forces. Shock traveled well from the vet in Clinton to his foster home in Atlanta GA and didn't seem stressed at all by the 3 hour trip like he was by a trip that lasted over 24 hours. He is settling in well to foster care.

Petey just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Race Track. He raced 109 races and was very good. He started out racing at Bluffs Run in IA and quickly got up to A level, so he was moved to the top Southland track and even got up to A level there. When he started slowing down a bit he moved down to Sanford Orlando to finish up his career and raced his last race on April 8th. He turned 4 on 10th and raced at 77lbs. His sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and his dam is Into The Rush. Petey has done well with small dogs he has met so we think he will do fine in a home with them. He showed some interest in the cat he met at the track but did correct so may be trainable with a confident cat and supervision. We have not retested him yet ourselves. He is a friendly sweet guy. He is great on leash and enjoys going out in public and is very calm and well behaved with everyone he meets on walks.

Free Bee just arrived from the Blanchard Kennel at Orange Park in Jacksonville Florida. She is a pretty tall girl for just 60lbs. She raced 142 races and was pretty good racing at Dubuque and Bluffs Run in IA and Southland in Arkansas and Naples Ft Myers in Florida before moving to Orange Park. She was mostly a B level racer but did compete in a top level stakes race. Although she turned 4 on April 9th, Free Bee still has a cute puppy look to her. She is VERY outgoing and gives hugs and loves people. She loves playing with other dogs and especially loves balls that squeak and toys that squeak. She can be energetic but calms down really well in the house and just wants to put her head in your lap and be close. Free Bee's sire is the famous Kiowa Mon Manny and her dam is Boc's Mc Raisen. She has been in a foster home with a calm older yorkie and has been fine with him. She loved playing with all the other greyhounds at a playgroup. We were told that she is a pretty confident girl and can be a little bossy at times with other dogs. She seems like she is going to be a fun girl for a family that wants a playful silly girl. She does potty well on leash and is leash walked at her foster home but she would probably do best with a fenced yard where she can chase balls and run and play since she enjoys that so much. She is doing pretty well with the cats at her current foster home. Interested at first but seems to be getting used to them with time.
