Greyhound Crossroads

Rosie will be arriving from Australia in January.  Our friends Down Under describe her as a cheerful, active Greyhound who loves meeting new people and enjoys plenty of pats.  She's alert and curious in new environments but remains calm and stress-free.  Rosie gets along great with other dogs, especially an Italian Greyhound named CC, but she's a bit too excited around fluffy small dogs, so she'd do best in a home without those.  On hot days, Rosie loves to paddle around in her clam pool.  She also walks beautifully on lead, never pulling, and enjoys a relaxed stroll.  If you're looking for a happy, social, and playful companion, Rosie could be the perfect fit for you!  UPDATE!  Rosie is much loved by her current family, but is having some issues long-term with their youngest child.  We have encouraged them to let us find another placement for this lovely little girl and let everyone start over.  For more information, feel free to contact us directly for questions with Rosie and young children.

Max just came in from the Celtic Hounds Kennel at the Sanford Orlando Race Track. He is arriving with two of his sisters Silver and Lola. He and his sister Lola look just alike. He started out his career in Orlando. He showed some promise as a racer so was moved to Dubuque where he raced briefly at A level. Since Max was good, he was moved up to a tougher track, Southland. The competition there was too stiff, and he only won 1 race, so he was moved back to Dubuque and then to Wheeling. When he wasn't able to win another race at either of those tracks he was moved to Derby Lane. He only won one more race there, so was moved back to Sanford Orlando where his sisters were racing. He was retired after just a few races there. Max is a flashy black guy with a white chest and white feet. He raced at 72lbs and will turn 5 on July 20th. His sire is the famous Oshkosh Slammer and his dam is USS Time To Go. Max travels well. Max got along fine with the small dog he met. He appeared to have already met cats before. As soon as he saw the cat he turned his face to the side and carefully backed away to avoid the claws. Max seems like a pretty calm guy that has been a little overwhelmed so far. He seems like he will warm up after a day or two though. He seemed to like the kids he met and wagged happily. He can be vocal in his kennel occasionally so may not be a great apartment or townhouse dog. So far he hasn't been a very good eater, probably due to the stress of the move.   UPDATE!  Max has been loving retirement for over 5 years with a wonderful family, but their situation is changing.  Through no fault of his own, he is once again available for the perfect family who's been waiting for a senior to share their home with.  He hasn't been living with either small dogs or cats, so retesting would be required before placement with those.
