Marshall is an Australian guy that never raced. He was born on January 6th of 2024 so is just 2 years old. He is a beautiful dark almost brown and black brindle and is one of the tiniest males we have placed at only 57lbs. His foster family calls him Marshall because like a US Marshall he investigates everything. He is sweet and curious and likes older kids, other large dogs, being outside and running around. He is very food motivated but doesn't like other dogs to bother him when eating. He crates well and is used to being fed in his kennel. Marshall is young, playful and energetic. A fun, happy guy that is friendly and sweet. What a cute patient guy to pose with glasses on!

Simba just arrived from a farm in WV. He never made it to the race track and just didn't show much interest in training. He is very young and just tuned 2 on May 3rd. His sire is CET Dirty Dan and his dam is JW's Ladyluck. Simba's litter was named for Lion King. Since he didn't race, Simba never got an official racing weight. He is a mid sized guy weighing in the lower 70s. He initially showed some interest in the cat, but after one correction, he lost all interest. That pretty much sums up his personality. He is super sweet and is a very soft dog that responds well to correction. He isn't an overly confident guy and isn't pushy with people or other dogs. Just a gentle boy and pretty calm for such a young guy. Simba passed his small dog test easily too. He isn't shy and has been calmly friendly with adults and children. Simba would do best in a family with another dog. He was very stressed when crated away from the other dogs and left alone for the first time. Simba is a gorgeous sweet boy that is going to make a fantastic pet.

Toast came in from Tri State Race Track in WV, where he raced 83 races. He was a good racer getting up to the top AA level, winning 11 races and placing in a lot more. Toast is a mid sized male, racing at 73lbs. His DOB is 8/31/22, so he won't turn 4 until the end of July. Toast's sire is the famous Highly Classified and his dam is ABS Almighty. Toast is a special guy, a star, that expects and craves adoration and attention. Toast has been fine living with confident cats in his foster home, but did try to chase a timid cat that would run every time he came close. He would need a home with confident cats that will stand their ground. Toast has been great with small dogs he meets on walks and visiting in homes, but he has had mixed results living with other dogs. He is an extremely confident guy, a natural leader that will be the boss of the other dogs in his home, if allowed. He can be pushy about getting what he wants and he wants ALL the attention and love from the humans. He is an exceptionally cuddly, loving, guy that just wants to love his people and be close. Because he loves so strongly, he can stress when left completely alone at first. He did improve as an only dog in one of his foster homes. Toast liked the little kids he met, but he does like to give hugs and excitedly pushes in for love, so could easily knock over a small child. We think he needs a home with older kids only. Toast reacts with curiosity to everything and is fearful of nothing so far. Toast is a lot of happy dog that is going to be the life of the party. His favorite thing, other than being with his people, is playing with toys. Because Toast is such a confident, smart guy, he will need a confident, dog-experienced owner, that is willing to set rules for him and stick with them. His foster home corrected him the first few times he postured or tried to get pushy with her other dogs and he has been great with her large dogs and small dog since. He just needs rules and boundaries and may need reminders at first. Having another dog around seems to help with Toast's separation anxiety, but he will need a very easy going, buddy dog, that has no desire to be the boss. Toast may also do OK as an only dog, but definitely can't live in an apartment or townhome because he does fuss when left.

Kordell came to us directly from the West Virginia farm where he was born. He had an injury to his back when he was 3-4 months old. He got the injury when playing with other pups and his owner wasn't sure what actually happened. Kordell recovered, but his back has always looked a bit more bowed than most greyhounds. It isn't something most people would even notice. His owner knew he wouldn't be able to race, so he never went to training or to the race track. Kordell runs and plays and doesn't seem handicapped by his injury. Our vet says Kordell is healthy and his old injury is healed. Kordell is a very young guy that won't even turn 2 until May 31st. His sire is Top Of The Pile and his Dam is Fly Margorie G. Kordell has only lived on a farm and until recently hadn't ever been in a house. He has been a little nervous with all the changes he has experienced since he left the farm. There have been a lot of new experiences and living in house can be a bit scary. Kordell seems like he really wants to be with people, but can be nervous and cautious at first, especially with men. He seems to love children and women the most. He would love a home where he could live with a lady. Although Kordell normally seeks out attention from kids, he has gotten overwhelmed by too much attention long term. He was fostered with small kids in his first foster home, but he would probably do best in a home without kids. He loves visiting with kids in short spurts and will go straight up to kids he sees. Kordell passed his initial cat test easily, without any interest. He has been fostered with cats since, and he did get more interested in chasing or playing with them after he got more comfortable in his surroundings. He will need supervision at first with cats. Kordell did well when meeting a small white dog. He was good with the other greyhounds in his foster home and seems like he may need another dog to hang out with when his family leaves him. He barks and fusses, when left completely alone, so isn't going to be able to live in an apartment or townhouse. This is a great pup that is going to be a wonderful pet with some patience and more home acclimation. He is a mid-sized guy that probably weighed about 65lbs when he arrived, but should weigh at least 70 lbs. His racing owner says he tends to stay on the thin side and can be hard to keep weight on. Because Kordell lived outside on a farm and not in a home, he will need continued potty training. His foster home is working with him on that, but in a new home he will need to continue that training with supervision and use of a crate when not supervised. He is a smart boy that seems like he should pick it up everything pretty fast - there is just so much new to learn.

Lovie is a gorgeous black female that initially came to us from Bolton Kennel at the Sanford Orlando Race Track. She was raised at the Plum Creek farm. Lovie raced at 60lbs and turned 9 on April 16th. She raced 57 races in Orlando and got up to the top A level. She sprained her ankle in September of 2019 and was off until January of 2020 to heal up. She went back to racing and even won a race, but in her last race on Feb 21st of 2020 she jammed the same ankle again, so was retired. Her ankle healed up well and causes no issues now. She is fine for walks and hikes and playing in the yard. Lovie is a very very outgoing girl. She is very waggy and wiggly and is very happy to see people and loves everyone she meets. She is a total love and is very silly one of the most outgoing and forward greyhound we have met. She is a natural leader with other dogs, so may do best with a more submissive housemate that is more of a follower. Lovie loves stuffed animals and likes to carry them around. Her sire is Top Of The Pile and her dam is World Of My Own. Lovie passed her small dog test and backed away after a cautious sniff. She showed no interest in even approaching the cats so she should be fine to live with either. She is full of personality and will make some lucky family a fun pet.  Update!  Lovie is available again because of some changes in her family's needs.  She has settled into retirement over time and seems to be most comfortable with her alone time. She will ask for attention when she wants it, but can be defensive of her space at times. This means she would be best without small children who don't understand personal space and reading cues. Lovie is a smart, home acclimated girl who will make a great choice for a quieter, drama free family! She has been in a very loving home since she retired in 2020. We think she would do fine being placed separately, even though she has been living with her housemate Linda for years.
