Untitled document Raccoon is a friendly girl with very unusual markings. She got her nickname at the track because of the black around her eyes. We haven't seen a fawn dog with this much white before either. She has a white blaze, a wide white collar around her neck, white stockings that go nearly all the way up her legs and half of her tail is even white. Raccoon figured out how to get off her kennel muzzle at the track so she ended up being the only greyhound that didn't have to wear one. She got along well with all the other girls in the turn out pen so she never really needed one. Raccoon loves to play with toys and carry them around. Her favorite at the track was an old cleaned out bleach bottle that she would proudly carry around. She figured out steps right away and has no problem with them. Raccoon has shown that she has a pretty high prey drive but has been OK with the small dog in her foster home after a proper introduction and supervision. She seems to be OK with cats too after an initial sniff but needs to be supervised when cats or small dogs move quickly around her at first until she realizes what they are. She responds very well to correction with cats and small dogs. Raccoon can be loud in the crate sometimes so may not be a good dog for apartment living. She has learned to potty on leash so may be able to live in a home without a fenced yard if her family was willing to leash walk her. Her pedigree

Homer is a fun playful guy that is curious about everything. He walks great on leash.  He is a real leaner and will stand with his body wrapped around your legs for as long as you stand there. if you move he will too and lean on you again. He was so happy to be at our recent Petco greyhound meet and greet. He thought everyone was there just to pet him and he was in heaven. Homer crates quietly but would prefer to be out with his people. This is a tiny, little lover boy that is going to be a great addition to a lucky family. Link to his pedigree

JJ is a sweet friendly boy that passed his cat and small dog tests so should be able to live with either. He is a very young guy that just celebrated his his second birthday at the end of June. He is playful and enjoys running and playing with the other dogs in his foster home. He seems to be a very bright boy because he has already figured out where the dog food is stored and how to lift the lid to the container to help himself. He has learned how to play with toys and is doing great on his housetraining. JJ loves "help" with the laundry although he is generally unfolding what was folded and carrying it around to decorate the bedroom with it. This is a fun guy! He is a half brother to one of our other adoptable males, Bacchus. Link to his pedigree

Foster (Myrtle Beach)
Adoption Status: Pending for Rutkowski, 8.21.10
Untitled document

Dee is a tiny, light fawn brindle girl without many stripes. She was too shy for a kennel situation and they had difficulty catching her after races. Her trainer thinks she will blossom in a quiet home and be a loving pet though. Like most shy dogs she probably would do best in a home with quiet, older children or no children because she may be frightened by yelling and fast movement. Dee crates quietly and loves her crate. Like most shy greyhounds, she sees it as her safe place. She is curious and wants to interact and will come up and bump you with her nose but then quickly back away. Dee seems to be more comfortable with women than men. Link to her pedigree

Update on Dee from her foster home: She is doing very well. She is very shy, but very curious. She wants to know what everything is, but is often scared. She's got guts, though, because she will slowly come back again and again until she can figure out the new thing. She loves being outside with all of the smells and sights. She is also getting more and more comfortable with handling. In fact, she makes sure that she is always in the same room that I am in. If I move, she is right behind me. She loves getting petted, but is still a little scared to come up and ask for love. But with a little coaxing she will generally come get a few scratches. Dee is a very good eater! She loves her food!! She is a complete fool for any kind of meat and also cheddar cheese.

Dee had her first trip to the beach last night, and she loved it! She even did reasonably well with the people on the beach. She did let a couple of people pet her, which is very impressive, since she is so shy. She was completely unafraid of the water, and just walked right in. She wasn't the least bit fazed by the waves washing up on her feet, either. She had a wonderful time exploring all of the new smells. She is completely comfortable with other dogs of all sizes, and still hasn't given my cats so much as a sniff. This is one super sweet girl. She is going to make a devoted companion, and is going to be a little velcro girl. She just needs some time to gain some confidence.

Update: Once Dee learned to trust her foster mom she has bonded very tightly and is very loving. She is still wary of strangers but is getting better. She gets along great with other dogs and cats.

Greenville, SC
Adoption Status: Pending, 8.21.10
Untitled document Bennett is a dignified older gentleman in the rare position that we know very little about him. At the grand age he has reached, he very much deserves to have that special place to call home where he is safe and loved. Bennett is ready to follow you home! Update from his foster home! He is a perfect gentleman, never having an accident inside and living peacefully with all the other residents in his foster home including small dogs. He also is very tolerant of all cats he has met and seems to be drawn to children.  He adores having his throat rubbed and will patiently stand with his head raised as long as the attention continues. If his humans are seated he gently places his head in their lap. Even though he is farther along in age than most of our dogs, Bennett is very spry and active and still loves to run and play. Bennett especially enjoys walks in the neighborhood and wants a family that will do that with him. They don't have to be long, just a short walk makes him very very happy. He never meets a stranger and everyone lucky enough to give him a rub falls in love! Let's help this precious older fella find the perfect home to spend the rest of his retirement in peace and safety. He has been chosen by our members for special gifts and support, reducing his adoption fee to $200.

Testing		 Fostered by (location):
McKee (Spartanburg)
Adoption Status: Pending to Greene Family 7/27/10
Untitled document Jeserell is a bouncy, happy little girl. Her tail wags furiously if she even thinks you are paying attention to her or looking her direction in fact she wags her whole body. She is very friendly, loves people and gives plenty of kisses. She passed her cat and small dog test so should be able to live with either. She is very food motivated and will eat well in or out of her crate. She loves her crate and will often choose to lay in there with the door open. She loves toys and will collect them all in her crate. She never has torn up a toy though, just carries them around. She follows her foster mom around the house curiously but not in a too needy way that could be annoying. She is a pretty confident girl that is likely to be the more dominant female in a pack of dogs. Jezerell is such a love bug that you just have to love her back. Jeserell is a littermate to ThatsWhyURThere who is one of our "pending" hounds. She is a half sister to Jet, Drama, and Cracker Barrel that are available and many of our already adopted hounds. Her father seems to throw some exceptionally nice dogs.  Her pedigree

Red Brindle Male
Cat Tolerance:
Testing		 Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
No		 Fostered by (location):
Myrtle Beach (Small)
Adoption Status: Pending for Brinegar, 7.7.10
Untitled document Santana is a handsome guy that has good house manners and has already been home acclimated. He didn't get along well with the other large male dog in his former home but was tolerant of the small female dogs. Santana would do better in a home with a female dog or a home with no dogs. He walks like a dream on leash and is calm and well behaved. Santana is all heart and totally devoted to his people and even has a heart shape in the fur between his eyes. He loves to have his ears scritched and will stand there as long as you will continue. He is the rare greyhound that has never tried to get up on any furniture. Santana loves to go for rides in the car and plays with balls and ropes. He kennels well but usually is left out because he never has chewed or messed up anything in his home. Santana would do best in a home with no young children.  Foster Home Update! Santana is one really marvelous boy!  He LOVES to play and will bring instant laughs to anyone closeby.  He really is devoted to people and very much wants to be touched and loved.  The only difficulty he's displayed in foster care is a slight hesitation to tile/vinyl floors, and if startled or approached by something odd, he tends submissive responses.  Santana is a great dog who's absolutely ready to go home!

Walter is a gentle giant weighing well over 80lbs. He is a sweet boy that is very outgoing and will try to get his head in your lap at every opportunity for petting. He gets along well with other dogs and is well behaved. He does need some work on leash manners because he is quite strong and pulls pretty hard. He is already learning house manners and is doing really well in his foster home with their small dogs and other greyhounds. Walter is a littermate to one of our new arrivals Jeserell. Here is his pedigree

Update: his foster home has decided to adopt him and have renamed him Mayer!

Untitled document Gem is a playful 8 year old who gets along well with cats and small dogs. She loves to chase squirrels in the yard and competes for 1st place while walking with her fellow greys. She does well with children but, would probably be best with children over 8 years. Gem seems to have a special affection for the man of the house and would be a wonderful pet for a retired owner or a stay at home parent. Gem cannot go an entire workday without going outside but, could probably easily learn to use a doggie door. She is well behaved, walks well on a leash, loves squeaky toys and is quite a love. Gem has been selected as the recipient of GC member support donations, lowering her adoption fee to $200.

As you can see from his photos Bubba does have unique ears that sometimes end up in a position that make him look like he has been in a wind storm. He is such a cute guy and so well behaved.
