Greyhound Crossroads

Jill just arrived from Australia where she raced only 9 races. She won two of those. She ran her last race May 24th of 2025. Jill raced at 60lbs and she was born on January 21st of 2022. Her sire is Andos Mac and her dam is Kingsbrae Chooky. Jill is a cute, furry gal that definitely still has her thick winter coat - the seasons are reversed in Australia. She looks chocolate brown right now, but should shed out and have a shiny black coat soon. Jill has a cute overbite that makes her pointy nose even more pointed. Jill is a calm, friendly girl that walks beautifully on lead. She loves soaking up the sun and likes to be outside when the weather is nice. She is a fantastic traveling companion, and really enjoys car rides. When it is playtime, Jill has a soft spot for squeaky toys. With her easy-going nature and affectionate personality, Jill is ready to bring joy and love into your home. Jill passed her small dogs tests in Australia and was good with an Italian Greyhound and a Cavadoodle puppy she met. She also passed her cat test there and her cat test here without more than a few sniffs. She hasn't lived around kids but seemed to like the children she met.

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!

Java just arrived from Australia. He never completed the registration process, so doesn't have an official racing name and never raced. He was tattooed though, his ear tattoo is NJDMT. He is a small guy that weighs about 65lbs, although he doesn't have an official racing weight. He was born on January 15th, 2022. Java is a real snuggle bug. He will just lean and snuggle into you and loves attention. A true velcro boy. He initially seems very confident and curiously checks out everything. He is quirky and loves climbing up on things to explore. If he gets corrected by humans or other dogs, for any behavior, he quickly backs off and acts a little nervous. For example: at first he was confident on the slick floors in his foster home, but after the other dogs bumped into him a few times and made him slip, he is cautious. Java is very polite, not coming up the outside steps until everybody else is out of the way. Java loves to travel and is going to be up for any adventure with his humans. He is playful and always ready to play with his favorite toys and will show off his zoomies in the backyard. He is a happy guy. Java did not pass his initial cat and small dog tests in Australia and seemed too interested in them at first meeting. We re-tested him here and he was initially curious about the cat and did a lot of sniffing, but didn't even get pushy enough for the cat to slap him. He did a little playbow and a bark, but then wouldn't get close to the cat again. He acted as if a cat had slapped him at some point and he knew to stay out of reach. That goes along with his personality, backing off if corrected and being more cautious. He did great meeting the small Italian Greyhound we introduced him to and didn't even stand up when the small dog came into the room. He really didn't seem that interested at all. We think he should be trainable with both, with some initial supervision. Java is good in his crate and is quiet in the crate.

Meet Marley who just arrived from Australia. She raced 18 races there and retired on December 12th of 2023. She won only 2 of her races so had a short career. She has been living with her owners since then. Her sire is Aston Dee Bee and her dam is Steal the Glory. Marley was born on August 26th of 2020 and raced at 66lbs. She is very tall and leggy. This sweet affectionate girl has a bubbly, friendly nature that is sure to win you over. Marley is crate-trained and is quiet in her crate. She is happy to spend a few hours alone as a solo pet, though she would prefer the company of her humans or another dog for longer periods. She's great with stairs and is learning her "go to your bed" training. She is adaptable and eager to please. Marley absolutely loves playing with toys. She has lived with another female greyhound and has some experience being around kids in Australia and definitely liked the kids she met here. She would do well in a home with older kids that would enjoy her playful energy. Marley is an energetic, curious girl that checks out everything and doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. She was very curious about the cat at first, but spent the same amount of time sniffing everything else in the room. She should be trainable with a cat with some supervision at first. She also passed her cat test in Australia before coming to us. She was the same with a small dog she met, just a lot of curious sniffing and eventually lost interest. Marley should be a wonderful girl for just about any home.

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.
