2020 Adoptions
Pin just arrived from the Daytona Beach Race Track that is closing at the end of March. She raced only 18 races there and never won one of them. She is a tiny girl that weighs just 55lbs. She is mostly black with a white blaze on her face and white feet and chest. Pin turned 2 on November 13th. Her sire is Pat C Clement and her dam is PJ Wicked. Pin is a friendly girl that seemed to handle all the new things in retirement very well. Pin was vetted in Salisbury and is ready to be adopted. Pin is an active girl that hasn't outgrown the chewing phase yet so will need supervision and training on what is OK to chew and what is not. She walks great on leash. Pin can be loud in her crate so wouldn't be a good apartment dog. She does have a pretty high prey drive so needs a home with no cats. She is being fostered with some small dogs and is mostly fine with them, she just has no idea where her feet are, and tends to trample the little dogs when she gets excited. She does great with slightly larger dogs that aren't as fragile though. She is a very sweet girl with a friendly happy personality. She likes being around other dogs and probably would prefer a home with other large dogs. |

She is a young girl that won't turn 2 until August 9th. Her sire is the famous Trent Lee and her dam is Easi Bandit. Sol is very sweet, and playful and still acts like a puppy. Her response to meeting a fluffy white dog was to crouch down and crawl along the ground in a submissive puppy posture. Sol also passed her cat test with just some curious sniffing before she lost interest. Sol was a little unsure of everything new in her foster home at first and would pace around the house before finally laying down. Sol was jumpy about loud household noises at first. She seemed to prefer to be around other greyhounds so may do best with another greyhound for company. She loves toys and loves going for a run in the yard after going potty. She was vetted at Clinton Animal Hospital. |

Chunky Monkey is one of a litter of pups that was born after we got a pregnant female from the Birmingham race track named She'sLikeNoOther (Beauty). We are not sure how she got knocked up but they think it happened when she was moved from a track in Florida to Birmingham in January and they think the dad was Apology Excepted because he was her traveling companion. We got her in February when she started showing. She had 6 healthy pups on March 4th. Chunky weighed 1lb 2oz when he was born and 18.7lbs at 9 weeks old when he was adopted. All the pups are friendly and social and were raised using the Puppy Culture Protocol. They all know to sit for food and treats and are trained to use a litterbox. Most of them will also potty on leash. The pups have been around kids and toddlers since birth so are very used to children. They also lived with a small dogs and have been introduced to cats. All the pups were introduced to a variety of people of different ages and sizes and have been well socialized to people and things they may come in contact with in the home environment. Greyhound puppies are not like the calm adult greyhounds we love. They are very high energy when young and need large fenced yards to run and play in to build strong bones and muscles. They need complete supervision like a toddler because everything goes in their mouth and gets chewed or eaten. They can be very destructive if their energy isn't drained through play and acceptable forms of exercise. Greyhound puppies are like any other puppy when small, but they quickly grow to full size and may weigh 50 to 80lbs by 8 months old. At that age they can run around 40 mph but are still huge clumsy pups. Greyhound puppies bite and play very rough. They require a lot of training and need experienced homes with room to run. |

LN Chili Dog (Chilli) - New arrival from the Daytona Beach Track Closing out of Waverider Kennel. Chilli is a very shy, tiny, 2-year-old red girl who raced at just 52 lbs.

Spooky dogs often have a genetic basis to their temperament and are usually born that way. Like human's, they vary in personality, even in the same litter.

Maddie came to us because of the recent kennel and track closings in Florida. Her kennel shut down due to the Corona Virus. Her racing owner got her and several other dogs back to her house and got them vetted for us so we could place her. She raced 27 races at Orange Park in Jacksonville FL. Maddie only won 3 races in her career. She is a small brindle female that raced at 58lbs. Maddie will turn 3 on September 19th. Her sire is Eyes Loaded and her dam is CTW Flirtatious. We places some other pups by that sire and dam and they are great pets. Maddie is very affectionate and sweet but is just a little overwhelmed and timid about new things for the first few days. She seems to gain confidence from being around other dogs so probably would do best in a home with another large dog or greyhound. She likes being beside people. Maddie is quiet and walks well on leash without pulling. She loves laying outside in the the sunshine. Maddy has shown some interest in cats from a distance but backs away and acts afraid of them if they get close, so we think she is trainable with cats.

Addy just arrived from the recent track and kennel closings in Florida. Her kennel closed due to the Corona Virus. Her racing owner got her and took her home to get her vetted for us. Addy raced her entire career of 55 races at Orange Park in Jacksonville Florida. She had just won 3 races in a row and got up to the top A level when her kennel closed. So her career was cut short just as she was getting really good. Addy is a small fawn female that raced at 60lbs. She will turn 3 on September 17th. Her sire is the famous BD's Grayson and her dam is Flying Lipstick. Addy is a very affectionate and sweet girl. Addy gets a little vocal when excited (feeding time) but is otherwise a quiet girl. She walks well on leash without pulling. She loves squeaky toys. Addy is the more outgoing and fearless of the two girls. At first we thought she would be cat trainable with the cats because she backed away from them but she got more excitable about them as time went on. So now we think she needs a home with no cats. |

She will need a home with dog experience that will be willing to work with her and do some obedience with her. Her foster home described her as a little 'simple' but adorable. She loves everyone and tries to stand up to give hugs and will put her paws on your shoulders. Her foster family decided to keep her pretty much as soon as they met her. |

Snakefoot is coming in from Mick Hymes farm in Arkansas. He was a very good racer that retired from racing to be a stud dog. He has 16 puppies listed so far and may have others out there that aren't yet registered. Snakefoot is a handsome brindle guy that raced at 76lbs. He will turn 8 on July 11th. His sire is Flare Gun and his dam is Oaks Mean Madina. Snakefoot moved right into foster care and made himself at home. Once he sees something the first time (stairs, new crate) he figured it out and had it down. Snakefoot potties nicely on leash so may do well without a fence yard. He was quiet all night the first night in his crate so may make a good apartment dog. Snakefoot is a wonderful guy that will be an easy addition to just about any home. Look at that sweet sweet face! |

Smote just retired from the Bolton Kennel at the Orange Park Race Track. He was raised at the Plum Creek Farm. Smote only raced 14 races. He got bumped in a race and was injured in July of 2019. He took time off to heal up and started racing again in October. Smote raced a few more races and even won one of those. In his last race in October he re-injured himself. He was rehabbed. He started running in some schooling (practice) races after he was healed up. He kept getting sore after his schooling sessions so they decided to retire him. Smote shows no sign of any injury. He is very large and very strong and excitable. Because he is so excitable and curious about everything, he pulls on leash and tries to go check out everything at once. He gets so happy to see you he bounces around and may jump up on you. He is a big boy racing at 84lbs and is incredibly strong. Because of his enthusiastic greetings he would not do well with toddlers, small kids or elderly people that may not be steady on their feet. He seems like a big goofy guy that would never intentionally hurt anyone but might just because he has no idea how big he is. He seems friendly and sweet and isn't intending to do the wrong thing, but is very active for a greyhound and definitely needs a strong leader that will set rules and teach him how to be calm and mannerly. Smotes sire is Dyna Double One and his dam is PJ Never Ask Why. Smote is very excitable and was pretty excited to see cats and small dogs but quickly focused on other things too. We just weren't able to get a good reading on him so need to do more testing with him before deciding if he would be able to live with either. More as we get to know him. |

She didn't have a chance to actually race there, because her kennel closed when the track shut down temporarily due to the Corona Virus. She raced at Palm Beach and Wheeling Downs in WV. She was racing at the top A level when she was moved to Jacksonville and had even competed in a couple of Stakes races. She was a very fast girl but started trying to bump and play with other dogs toward the end of her career which isn't allowed. Rags is a cute fawn girl with soulful eyes and cute floppy ears. She raced at 60lbs and will turn 3 on September 23rd. Her sire is Highly Classified and her dam is Ethel Is Here. She is a littermate to Mertz By Ethel that we placed and Heezahotsketch that is available now. Rags did not pass her cat test and was way too excited about the cat. She did fine with the small white dog she met though. More as we get to know her. |

Flossie just arrived from the Waverider Kennel at the Daytona Beach Race track that just closed. She had a short career of only 26 races and only won one of those. She started out racing at Wheeling Downs in WV. When she couldn't win a race there, she was moved to and easier track Orange Park Race Track in Florida. She still didn't win any races so she moved to Daytona Beach where she finally won one. She came in toward the back of the pack after that though. Flossie raced at 63lbs and turned 2 on December 7th. Her sire is the famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and her dam is Easi Key. Flossie passed her cat test with just some initial sniffing, then lost interest in the cat even though the cat still wanted to interact with her more. She should be fine to live with cats and small dogs. Although she is used to being around the kids in her trainers kennel, she may do better in a home without small kids. She was uncomfortable with kids she didn't know going up to her to love on her. According to her trainer, Flossie is a very laid back but friendly girl. |

Special Senior! Fitz initially came in from Derby Lane in Florida. He is a big guy that raced at 82lbs. His sire is Group Rooster and his Dam is Cool Princess. Fitz's will turn 10 on May 2nd and has been in his adoptive home since November of 2012. His family adopted his brother Oneco Kennedy - Ned when he retired in 2014 too. Both dogs are being returned to us because their family has a 1 year old child and doesn't have time to exercise and supervise the dogs now. Now that the baby is mobile, it has become annoying to the dogs and it has been growled at. Although Fitz is normally friendly and happy around kids, he would prefer a home without small kids that might crawl on him or fall on him. Fitz is a very loving boy that settled right into foster care initially without any problems at all. His foster dad thought he would be a great dog for a first time greyhound owner because he was so good and such an easy dog. He gives little kisses and of the two brothers is the more laid back and less needy of the two. Fitz is a gentle giant. He crates nicely and is quiet in his crate so might do OK in an apartment or townhome. He does stairs very well too. Fitz is a great guy that passed his cat and small dog tests so should be able to live with either but we will retest when he arrives to be sure since he hasn't been living with either. The photos of him were from when he first arrived so we will get pictures and complete vetting done once he arrives. Because Fitz is a senior he qualifies for our reduced adoption donation of $250. |

Special Senior! Ned initially came in from the Darcy Kennel at Derby Lane. His sire is Group Rooster and his dam is Cool Princess. Ned raced 127 races at Derby Lane and was a pretty big deal as a racer. He raced in big Stakes races and came in 2nd in several of those. He raced at 74lbs so is a mid sized male. Ned was adopted in January of 2014 and has been with his family since then. They also adopted his brother Fitz, who is also being returned. Ned will turn 10 on May 2nd. He passed his cat and small dog tests when he arrived so should be fine to live with either, but he will be retested once he is returned to us. Ned is being returned with his brother Oneco Fitzgerald because his family has a 1 year old child and doesn't have time to supervise and exercise the dogs anymore, which is causing behavior problems. The one year old child is mobile now and has become annoying to the dogs, so has been growled at. Although Ned normally like kids, and is very friendly with them, he would prefer to live in a home with no small kids. Ned is very outgoing and happy and that made him a kennel favorite at the race track. He is the more needy and playful of the two brothers. Ned is also a very smart guy that is a bit of a houdini. He figured out how to get out of a regular metal crate in foster care when he first arrived. We said then that he would require a plastic vari kennel that he can't escape from when potty training and manners training in a new home. This photo is from when Ned was at the track. We will get new photos when he is back with us as well as have him freshly vetted. Because Ned is a senior, he qualifies for the reduced adoption donation of $250. Ned and Fitz can be adopted separately. |

Baby just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Track Closing. She also raced some of her 64 races at Flagler and Naples Ft Myers tracks.

Her sire is Pat C Sabbath and her dam is Livin Ona Prayer. Baby was a little interested in the cat to begin with, but just sniffed and was easy to redirect. She decided the cat wasn't something to mess with after the cat slapped her. We think she should be very cat trainable with supervision.

Lavato is a gorgeous black female that just arrive from Bolton Kennel at the Sanford Orlando Race Track. She was raised at the Plum Creek farm. Lavato raced at 60lbs and will turn 3 on April 16th. Lavato raced 57 races in Orlando and got up to the top A level. She sprained her ankle in September and was off until January to heal up. She went back to racing and even won a race since then but in her last race on Feb 21st she jammed the same ankle again so was retired. She is healed up and is not limping now. Because she has had a couple of injuries to that ankle, she wouldn't be a candidate for doing dog sports like agility. She is fine for walks and hikes and playing in the yard though. Lavato is a very very outgoing girl. She is very waggy and wiggly and is very happy to see people and loves everyone she meets. Her foster home says she is a total love and is very silly. Lavato is the most outgoing and forward greyhound she has ever met. She seems like she can be a bit bossy with other dogs, so may do better with a more submissive housemate that is more of a follower. Lavato loves stuffed animals and likes to carry them around. Her sire is Top Of The Pile and her dam is World Of My Own. Lavato 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. |

Desoto came up from Eric Griffin's kennel at Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville FL. He raced most of his 145 races at the Caliente Track in Mexico so he may understand Spanish better than English. He also raced briefly at Wheeling Downs in WV and finally finished up his career at Orange Park. He did get up to the top A level briefly and competed in a Stakes Race. Desoto broke his back leg in a race on November 11th. He had surgery to repair the leg at a specialist in Jacksonville before coming to us. After surgery he was moved to Charlotte for rehab and his splint changes. Desoto raced at 73lbs and turned 3 on July 21st. His sire is KC and All and his dam is WW's Baby Bonnet. Desoto's leg is doing great and has healed up completely. He has been released by our vet for adoption for awhile now. He should be able to run and play normally. He is a very laid back guy and slept through most of his splint changes. He likes people and will allow you to do just about anything to him. His foster dad says he is a great guy that would make a great first or 4th greyhound. He gets along well with the different breeds of dogs in his foster home and is great in his crate. Desoto is a sweet loving guy that can be just a little timid at first with strangers. He does warm up fast to his family though but people coming to meet him should expect him to be a little standoffish at first. |

Riley just arrived with her housemate Pluto (Barts Crankshaft). She was initially adopted years ago through another adoption group. She has been in a loving home for many years but her owner is having health issues that he is not expected to recover from enough to care for his two dogs. He had to make the difficult decision to re-home both dogs. Riley and Pluto really don't pay much attention to each other and don't seem to be really bonded, so we think it would be fine to place them separately. Riley is a tiny 55lb red female. Her sire is My Rooster and her dam is Firengine Annie. She raced 23 races at Mardi Gras Race Track and Sarasota. She never won one of her races so was retired young back in March of 2014. She has been in a home since then. She and her housemate Pluto have settled into foster care as if they have always been there. She is a very sweet well behaved girl that will turn 8 on April 2nd. Because Riley is a senior girl her requested adoption donation is reduced to $250. Riley passed her cat test without much interest. She was just a little timid at first but warmed up fast and is a sweet loving girl with her foster family. She would be an easy addition to just about any home. |

Brandy just arrived from the recently closed Daytona Beach Race Track. She raced 36 races and also raced at Derby Lane, Wheeling WV and Naples Ft Myers tracks. She did get up to A level at one point and was racing in B when she retired. Brandy raced at 60lbs and won't turn 3 until September. Her sire is the famous Barcelona Boss and her dam is Magic Droid. Brandy is outgoing, playful and curious and loves attention. She seems confident enough to go explore on her own but comes back for love. She wants to get up on the couch or bed with you so seems like she is going to want to be a snuggle bug. She already paws at the door when she needs to go outside. She is figuring out the steps and so far prefers to just jump up or down all the steps instead of doing them one at a time. Brandy was very curious about the cat at first but backed off when the cat smacked her. She redirected easily too so we feel like she will be cat trainable. She is used to being around kids at her trainers kennel but does jump sometimes when she gets excited. Her foster home is working on that but she may knock over a toddler. Brandy is going to be a fun girl. Brandy was vetted at Clinton Animal Hospital. |
