Greyhound Crossroads

Kern just arrived from a dog farm in Florida. She actually retired from racing in July of 2016 after a successful career of 151 races. She raced at Palm Beach, Flagler, Mardi Gras, and Naples Ft Myers. She did get up to the top A level for part of her career. After she retired she went back to the farm to wait on an adoption group to take her and has been there for a year. She got her front leg stuck under a fence recently and suffered a terrible break, photos of her X-ray are in her other photos. Pro Greyhound is an organization funded by your donations that takes in greyhounds with injuries, gets them the surgeries they need and rehabs them. Pro Greyhound took her in, had one of their vets in Florida reconstruct Kern's leg and then drove from NC to Florida to get her after surgery. Her surgery cost $2000. If you would like to make a donation to help pay for her surgery and rehab please go to Pro Greyhound's Page.She is in NC now for her long recovery and probably won't be released for adoption until the end of August. Kern's sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and her dam is Atascocita Bonny. Kern raced at 57lbs and will turn 5 on August 17th. More as we get to know her.

Bob initially came in from the Sanford Orlando Race Track. He is nearly all white except for a red spot over one eye that looks a bit like an eyebrow. He is a very cute 69lb boy that raced only 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 so was retired. 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 just bit timid in new situations at first. He passed his cat and small dog tests and lived with several cats in his previous home. Bob has been in an adoptive home since June of 2016 and has been called Darby since then so he should know both names. He was returned because he has shown some possessiveness over his space and toys. Otherwise he is a great guy with good house manners and is home acclimated. Because he is possessive with toys and his space Darby needs a home with no children and needs a confident, dog experience owner. Bob gets along great with all the dogs in his foster home so would be perfect in a home with other dogs, he doesn't seem like a dominant dog with other dogs and quickly fits into a pack with no problem. His foster dad has seen no sign of any of his previous behavior.
