Her Pedigree

Sara was born Feb 4th of 2005. She raced at Valley race track in Texas and Dubuque before moving Woodlands in Kansas. From there she went to the Birmingham race track and retired from there in Jan 2009. A family adopted her directly from her trainer along with a male greyhound. Sara ended up having an accidental litter of pups in Jan of 2010 which is how we ended up with her. Her family couldn't financially care for her and the pups and she was relinquished to an adoption group and eventually moved with some of her pups to our adoption group. Sara was an excellent mom to her pups for 5 months before being adopted by the Roepke family of Columbia, SC. Sara was small, friendly, brindle, beauty with a waggy tail and a fun, playful personality. Sara was good with cats, kids and small dogs and everyone she met. Her favorite thing was to play at a dog park and was the rare greyhound that could run every day and keep up with other breeds energy wise. Of course she was much faster than the rest of them. Sara loved to go for rides and walks and was her owners "best friend". We had get togethers with Sara and her pups and she always remembered them. Sara passed away suddenly 12/26/12 of unknown causes at just 7 years old.

Her Pedigree

Pretty little Daisy is another Economy Return. This very tiny (about 50lbs) girl is a happy sweet girl that will love her family. She has already lived in a home for years so is home acclimated and has good house manners. She has lived with small dogs and gets along well with everyone. She is calm and laid back so would be a great dog for a busy home without much time to exercise a dog. Daisy loves her naps and often chooses to sleep in her crate. This a great girl that has a lot of love to give that will fit quickly into just about any family. Daisy raced 84 races at Bluffs Run, Dubuque, VictoryLand and finally retired from JCKC in June of 2006. She did get up to A level. Her sire is Scott Free and her dam is Whoopie On By. She was born 7/17/02.

Her Pedigree

Heidi is just the cutest little girl! She only raced 6 races that we could find at Flagler and she raced at 49lbs so she is very very tiny for a greyhound. Her sire is Wes Cooley and her dam is JC's Sweetmelody. DOB 5/22/06. Heidi originally was adopted through another group that has shut down in the Augusta GA area. She has been in a home for some time and was returned through no fault of her own. She is fine with cats, small dogs and kids and is playful and happy. She is just a tiny bit shy at first with new people, but warms up quickly. She is very well behaved and has great house manners already so should fit into a new home very quickly.

Her Pedigree

Chris is a really sweet guy and another perfect example of the Economy Returns we're seeing so much of right now. Although his family could no longer keep him, he's ready for a new life through no fault of his own. He is such a good boy and would be perfect for the first time Greyhound owner. He is a big, dark brindle male, full of silliness and playfulness. Chris loves attention, gives kisses and grins for his humans! Gets along well with small dogs and cats. This guy is tall dark and handsome with personality plus! He and Motif (another of our available hounds) look like twins. Anyone for a matched pair?

Motif is a very sweet loving boy that was returned because his family was relocating and couldn't take him with them. He ended up being heartworm positive so underwent treatment. He has made a full recovery and has been released by our vet for adoption. This is a guy who has already learned the ropes of life in a house so will make a wonderful easy addition for just about any family. Motif has lived with cats and small children and is currently living with small dogs so should be able to fit into just about any home. He is a well behaved boy with good house manners. He is talkative and will get louder sometimes when left alone, so might not be the best dog for an apartment. Motif would however be an excellent watch dog. He is the rare greyhound that will actually alert you whenever someone comes onto the property. He is barking with joy and wants attention, so isn't a guard dog at all - just a wonderful watch dog. Motif is a lower energy guy that is great on leash and likes to go for walks but isn't going to require a lot of exercise so would be perfect for a lower energy owner. He is a very devoted loving boy that absolutely adores his people and wants to be beside you all the time. He likes to play with other dogs and but LOVES to be with people even more. A great guy and so CUTE! Motif has been chosen by the GC membership for sponsorship, plus an individual member has generously donated $50 toward his adoption fee! Motif's fee will now be only $150!

Gilligan race 13 races at the Birmingham Race Track. He never won one of those races so he retired young. Gilligan was picked out at the track by his foster mom Sarah.

Angel was a sweet calm girl who wanted nothing more than some petting and ear scritches. She got along great with other dogs and all people including the 3 kids in her adoptive home. She had great manners and was just an angel that lit up her family's life every day. Angel lost her battle with bone cancer on Jan 19, 2012 at 10.5 years old.

Her Pedigree

ScoobyDoo is a beautiful boy and very good too! He is a big guy that raced at 80lbs that is still a playful pup at heart. He has those sweet big eyes with lots of eyeliner that will melt the heart of a greyhound-lover! He has showed no interest in chasing cats or small dogs so could live with either.  Scooby seeks out the company of children when he has been around them. When visiting our vet for his neuter, he made lots of friends there playing with the staff. This guy has personality plus and was one of the kennel favorites at the track because of his silly happy personality - it was also what got him his nickname of Scooby Doo. Nothing seems to bother him and he will want to do whatever you are doing. This is a guy that just wants to be with you although he will happily crate if you are gone.

Update after adoption: Scooby Doo has been renamed Chase and is now a Therapy Dog!

Chase crossed the bridge in 2014 due to what the vets believed was a brain tumor.

His Pedigree

Nitika is a cute little girl that already has a lot of white on her face for her age. She has a sweet, outgoing, curious personality.

She is very sociable, loves attention from visitors, and hasn't displayed any separation anxiety when left alone.

Mickey is a beautiful boy who is very happy and outgoing and has the cutest ears! He is also very sweet and will lay his head in your lap to have his ears and neck rubbed. Mickey has a goofy, fun personality and would make someone a wonderful companion. He is smart, eager to please, and listens well and has learned to sit on command. Mickey enjoys running around and playing in the yard with the other dogs in his foster home. However, he would also do well as an only dog since he is not dependent on the other greyhounds. He gets along wonderfully with other greyhounds and is very respectful of other dogs. Mickey does well with smaller dogs and is getting better with cats every day, although he is still very curious about them. He walks well on leash, although he gets a bit excited and is very curious in new situations. Mickey crates well although it may take him a little time to settle down if he is crated away from the family at night. Mickey is a graduate of our TriCounty Tech Partnership Program where the staff and students at TriCounty Tech love this beautiful boy and became very attached to him.

This handsome black boy with gold eyes is available for adoption. Bear only has 5 races listed and finished at the back of the pack in all of them. He raced at Palm Beach and Naples Ft Myers before his owners decided to retire him. He looks brown in the pictures because he was in a run with access to the outside. He spent so much time outside that his coat got very sunbleached. He is a black dog though. His sire is Fine Silver and his dam is JR's Prelude who we also placed. Bear raced at 67lbs so is a smaller guy. DOB 7/17/2007. Update after adoption: Bear can be seen at many of the Charlotte area adoption events helping encourage greyhound adoption.

His Pedigree

Miles arrived with his mother Sara and his brother Otto when the pups were 5 weeks old. The pups were the result of an unplanned breeding so could not be raced. Their mother Sara had been retired for awhile and is also available for adoption through Greyhound Crossroads. We also recieved a 3rd littermate Kohle later that was also adopted through our group. His Pedigree

Update after adoption: Miles has been a great pup. He is sweet and outgoing. He does greyhound adoption events to promote greyhound adoption and is a performer with the Hounds of East Fairhaven which is a group that promotes greyhound adoptions at the Georgia and Carolina Renaissance Festivals. Miles earned his Canine Good Citizen title at 8 months old and does agility and obedience. He grew up into a very tall handsome guy. He still gets together with his brother Otto to play regularily and occasionally plays with Kohle. We also placed a littermate sister of theirs Piper. His mother Sara passed away in Dec of 2013.

Adrenaline is a wonderful boy. He grins as you can see in his photo. He snuggles and cuddles and is a real love bug. He is a little shy about loud noises and quick movements and seems more comfortable around women than men, but warms up quickly with a little patience. He is one of the few greyhounds I have ever met who loves to play fetch-bringing his squeaky toy back to you again and again. He hasn't done a single naughty thing in the house-no chewing-no accidents-no counter surfing-you would think he lived in a home all his life! And his greatest joy in life is snuggling up with his human. He loves the company of the other dogs-but would likely be fine as a single dog so he could have all your attention. Adrenaline does have a fractured metatarsal bone in his ankle that will be a chronic issue for him after hard exercise or running. He will need joint supplements and some type of pain management available the rest of his life. Right now he is on crate rest to stabilize that injury. Once he is done he should only be sore after really hard play and will always be able to join you on walks. He is a wonderful sweet boy just waiting for the perfect family.His Pedigree

Update after adoption: His foster family decided to keep him and he is now living with his actual mother.

Tequila is a sweet, happy, playful, older girl that was discovered wandering loose, starving and in horrible condition. She had been in an adoptive home for years but wasn't cared for and looked like she had even been attacked by another dog. This was one of the worst neglect cases we have seen. Tequila still looks pretty rough now and doesn't have much hair due to a skin condition that will require some baths a couple of times a week for awhile. We have made some progress already and soon Tequila will be back to her former beauty with some TLC. Tequila has great house manners and has fit into her foster home like she has always been there and enjoys playing with their greyhound. She is very friendly and is good with other dogs, cats and kids. Tequila is a good girl and is looking for a family that will love and appreciate her. She should be a wonderful easy addition to just about any family. Her sire is Flying Train and her dam is Marvelous Missy. She only has 2 races listed at the now closed Plainfield track. She was born on June 10th, 2000. Congratulations to her foster family that decided they couldn't let this one go!

Update after adoption: Tequila has become a meet and greet dog for Greyhound Crossroads! She attends events encouraging people to adopt greyhounds. She lives in the country and loves taking walks with her dad. She has completely gotten over her skin condition and has a healthy full coat now with only a few scars to remind her of her past. She crossed the bridge on 10/11/13.

Her Pedigree

Ron, Gem, and CJ are all housemates coming back to start over because of Economy returns. Ron is the sweetest, most affectionate of the three and also the funniest. He loves to lay down with his head on your lap, and we will nudge for more pets and love. He is comfortable being the unassertive 'bottom dog' of the three pack members. He loves to "go crazy" by himself in the back yard, running in random patterns around the back yard at full speed, then will stop, crouch down, scratch up some dirt, and take off again. Ron loves the young son in his home and has always done great with him from birth. He's a dog that is most comfortable with his routine, loves people and loves to get attention from humans. He also is a great leash walker. His greatest fear is thunder and will do best in a place where he can get lots of love and patience. Ron raced 31 races at JCKC. He is a smaller guy racing at 67lbs. His sire is Neiland and his dam is Husker Chicago.

His Pedigree

Chopin came to us from the Birmingham Race Course. He also raced a race at Southland in Arkansas. He is a pup of Dave the Dog who is a famous dog that retired and lives in our area. His dam is Tech Bomb. He was born on September 27th 2006. Chopin didn't race, long only 14 races are listed. Boy is this a handsome guy! Chopin is very outgoing and loves everyone he meets. He LOVES to go for rides and will hop right in and may even try to help you open the door. He seems like he is going to be a fun guy because he has loads of personality. He needs some work on his leash manners because he is very strong and very excited about seeing everything. Nothing seems to bother him, even new things. He takes everything in stride. This is one very happy go lucky guy. He does have a pretty strong prey drive and didn't pass his initial cat test. We need to do more testing with small dogs and kids.

His Pedigree

CJ raced at Jefferson County Kennel Club at 77lbs until retiring in 2005 at 3 years old. He was in one home for a few years then was an economy return and was adopted a second time by the Aguilar family in 2010 when he was 7 years old. CJ is an unusual light fawn color that is nearly white. He was a big, sweet, affectionate boy with a great, laid back personality and just loved people in general. He loved for anyone to scratch his big head and back, and even seemed to smile. His favorite part of the day is taking an evening walk. When he heared the leash rattle, he came running and started jumping up and down. He was the lead dog in the pack, but he was a gentle leader who rarely asserted himself. CJ also enjoyed playing with his stuffy toys, but only when one of his people played with him. He was a well-balanced and well-behaved boy who was a great family member. He was great with kids and small dogs but chasing cats was something he enjoyed just a little too much.

Colby Joe crossed the bridge on Feb 25th 2013 suddenly of unknown causes

His Pedigree

Dart raced at the now closed Raynam/Taunton Track in MA. He only has 11 races listed and only one win. He is a big guy that raced at 79lbs. His sire is RJ's Gary B and his dam is Reward Lady Bone. Dart came to us from another adoption group in hopes we could help him with some behavioral issues he was having with other dogs. They had already been working with him and did a great job. By the time we got him he did fine with the dogs in his foster home. He is even OK with a small dog in his foster home but still needs to be tested with cats.

Update after adoption: Dart seems to have overcome his aggression and lives with another dog now. He was working on becoming a therapy dog before he crossed the bridge.

His Pedigree

Star is one of our favorites at the track kennel. When we go to pick up dogs she always greets us with enthusiasm and is a very friendly sweet girl. She is mostly white with a black patch over one eye so is as cute as she can be too. She was a pretty good racer and we have been waiting on her to retire for a couple of years. Star is a very special girl that the GC group has been waiting to take in for a couple of years. She is as bright as her name, both in beauty and intelligence! She would like some dog companionship to truly shine and likes to be included in daily activities. She enjoys bouncing around the yard, but would do fine in an apartment or unfenced home with plenty of exercise (she is still a young girl). She is quiet when crated but likes to have a doggie friend nearby so she is not all alone. Star is a very laid back dog who is undisturbed by loud noises or activity so would do great with children she is also very tolerant of being touched and moved when sleeping. She is content to lounge on her bed for the evening after dinner and enjoys just being close to her human pack. Because she is so smart, she needs to have the rules clearly defined. She is happy to follow the rules once they have been set down. She has a great memory and rarely forgets what is allowed or not. She will truly be the "star" of some lucky family's life! Cuddly, gentle, and sweet, this girl is looking for the home that recognizes just how special she is.

Her Pedigree

Finn and his littermates Ethan & George are available. Finn is a mid sized male at 72lbs. They have been together for their entire lives - three and a half years and it would be wonderful to place them together but we have done a trial separation and they all seem like they would be OK living alone too. They are all reported to be as sweet as their name and wonderful, beautiful boys. They sleep together in a pile. All are friendly and loving. If you are interested in one, two or all three boys who are already bonded to each other, let us know and we can set up a meeting for you with them. Finn is in a foster home with his brother Ethan and is doing great on his potty training and house manners and is very well behaved. He is a grinner like his brothers and will grin when happy excited or when he thinks he is in trouble. He is so well behaved that is rare though. Finn is a friendly, happy loving guy that likes to sleep in his crate and is fascinated with his first Christmas tree.

George and his littermates Ethan & Finn have lived together and raced together their entire lives.

We have done a trial separation of the brothers and they all seem to be fine alone too. All three boys are all reported to be as sweet as their name and wonderful, beautiful boys. They are small to mid sized males. Of the three, George is the most active, confident, curious and playful. He is going to make a fun pet.

Desi is shy, but willing. She likes getting loves, but doesn't come up and ask for them. She has already become very attached to her housemate Finnegan, and stays very close to him for cues. She rides very nicely in a car, and is a quiet girl. She is actually afraid of the housemate cats, and won't go near them. She will go in her crate on her own sometimes - I think to take a break from all of her new surroundings. She loves food, but doesn't gobble, and as a dainty eater. She has met a few people now, and with a little coaxing, she will go up and get love. Once someone starts petting her, she is fine and is just afraid to make the initial approach. She has also met a couple of small dogs and was absolutely fine with them. She was very curious. With some time, some love and a gentle hand, this little girl is going to be an incredible pet. Desi is going to end up being absolutely devoted to the person who gives her a forever home. She is so sweet, and so pretty. She is going to be worth the patience and love. As she settles in and learns how to be just a dog, she is going to be a very, very special girl.

Her Pedigree

Mattie is a small 54lb female. She has no races listed. Her sire is Clappin Thunder and her dam is Blindedbythelite. Mattie loves people and wants to be around them more than the other doggy housemates. She has shown no anxiety moving into her foster home and new life-- learned to go up and down stairs right away, and even likes looking at herself in the mirror! She chases balls, loves to play, and is showing herself to be smart enough to learn tricks. What a beautiful, smart girl!

Her Pedigree

Chase is a sweet, friendly, 7-year-old girl that had to have a leg removed a couple of years ago because of bone cancer. These photos are old and were taken before she lost her leg. Being a tripod doesn't slow her down any. She can jump into cars and keeps up with the 4 legged dogs with no problem. Unfortunately most bone cancer does return and it is a miracle that she has survived 2 years without it coming back. Chase was in an adoptive home and was returned because her owner couldn't keep her and not because of behavior problems. She has been living in a home for years so is home acclimated and very well behaved. She and Ramzeez were housemates. She raced at Naples Ft Myers track and has 82 races listed. Her sire is NR's Fast Eddie and her dam is Bold Gigi. DOB 8/10/02

Update after adoption: Chase has been adopted and her bone cancer has never returned. She is one very lucky giri and her family dearly loves her.

Her Pedigree

Crayons is a sweet, outgoing girl that loves everyone and will give gentle hugs. She knows how to sit already and knows several other tricks. She can be vocal when left alone so would not be a good dog for apartment living. She seems to be cat and small dog tolerant and likes children. She gets along well with other dogs too. This is a very devoted girl that just wants to be with her family and will be a very loving pet. Updated description! Through experience with her foster home, we think Crayons would be best suited to a home with at least one other dog for company and a human who is home a lot. She doesn't like to be alone and is much more comfortable with people around. Her energy and personality also respond best to being part of a pack. She is an adorable little girl who bonds tightly with her humans and will return that attention joyfully. This is girl that is full of fun and love. Her sire is Impossible Dream and her dam is Tech Shock.

Her Pedigree

Lady is a sweet but shy 60lb girl that is very timid with new people and will probably take a while to warm up to a new family. Because quick movements and loud noises can frighten her she would probably do better in a home with quiet older children rather than small kids. She is and cat/small dog tolerant. Lady will probably need a fenced yard because she spooks easily on leash. Lady has been moved from our TriCounty Tech Partnership Program into a foster home. Her sire is the famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and her dam is Champagne Lake. She was born on Oct 29th 2007.

Her Pedigree

Angel just arrived from the Sanford Orlando Race Track. She also raced at Naples Ft Meyers. Her sire is the famous Lonesome Cry and her dam is Nikos Vindicator. Angel was born on July 5th 2007. She is a very sweet 2 year old girl that is well behaved. Her foster home says that she will be very hard to let go. Angel is a beautiful 58lb white girl with dark brindle spots. No she doesn't have a dirty nose in the photo. She just has a little muzzle stain on her nose that should go away with time. Angel gives kisses, loves to play with toys and has a weakness for hamburgers and french fries. She is small dog and cat tolerant too.

Her Pedigree

This little girl was released from a shelter near Savannah into the care of GC. She was never registered to race but she was tattooed so we could look up her pedigree. We don't know much more about her history and haven't discovered which adoption group she originated from. Savannah was initially interested n the kitties, but quickly responds to correction. She also did very well with small dogs and the young children (3 and 5) in her foster placement. She is calm, easy-going and loves to cuddle with her humans. She doesn't chew on items inappropriately, has great house manners, and doesn't display any anxiety at being left alone. She is slightly timid when first approached and at feeding time, preferring to eat alone. Savannah seems to be a dog who will fit into almost any home, whether there is another greyhound with her or not. 

Her Pedigree

Zea is truly one of those rare dogs that comes along only every so often. She is so loving and docile, a real doll! Zea is a beautiful 54-pound brindle girl who just turned four. She is a submissive girl who has no aspirations of being the lead sled dog, but that doesn't mean she is a wilting flower by any means! She is currently being fostered with both greys and small dogs, and has easily integrated into the pack. She loves to greet you on your arrival and will nuzzle with you to get the maximum amount of love she can. Her tail wags a million miles an hour! She is quiet when crated and will sometimes seek out her crate during the day to catch a few winks of 'quiet time,' but can also be found curled up on her doggie bed in the living room, protecting all occupants from any stuffies that may be lurking nearby. In addition to killing stuffies, she LOVES to chase a ball and will bring it back and drop it at your feet as long as you are willing to throw it. She rarely barks unless encouraged to do so, and her bark is surprisingly deep, especially for a smaller female. Once she gets over initial shyness to new people or situations, Zea is one of the friendliest greyhounds we have ever met. If you drop a pan on the floor, she may startle and dash out of the kitchen, but will quickly return to check out what made that loud noise. She does not exhibit Alpha behavior at all, but is so smart and willing to please that she learns quickly in order to please her human pack. Zea is not food agressive and will easily yield her dinner dish to you. She is small dog and child safe. She walks great on leash and stays right near you. She easily figured out stairs, so long as they are solid and not slotted/open (like a deck or pier). She would make a great first greyhound for someone, or would also fit well into an existing pack.

Her Pedigree

Baby Bunny is one of our tiniest females at just 48lbs. She is a petite, little, black girl that loves to snuggle. She can be a little timid at first but seems like she will warm up eventually. She has already decided that the best place in the house is the couch curled up next to her foster mom. Baby Bunny has discovered the joys of playing with toys and love to throw them around and pounce on them. She is going to be a fun little girl for some lucky family. Bunny seems to need to be around another outgoing greyhound and usually only approaches people when the other grey does. Like most shy dogs, loud noises and quick movements can send her diving for cover so she would do best in a home without small children but might be OK with very calm quiet older kids. Because she is shy and tends to bolt when scared she must have a fenced yard. Her sire is the famous Dave The Dog that is retired and living in Upstate SC and her dam is ICU Lady.  DOB 10/30/07.

Her Pedigree

Luke is a very large, sweet, silly boy. He is considered special needs because he is blind in his right eye due to an injury he received as a puppy, but he doesn't seem to let that slow him down. He gets along great with the other dogs in his foster home and is very loving and playful. He walks nicely on a leash and is completely potty trained. Luke is intelligent and will do best with a family that enjoys obedience training and will be confident pack leaders. He will make an awesome addition to the right home! Luke tested cat tolerant and is living with small dogs in his foster home. Luke was never registered and never raced so we don't know who his parents are or much about him. 

Rachel is a grinner and sometimes gets very carried away and chomps her teeth while she is grinning. Don't be fooled - she wouldn't dream of using her teeth for anything but smiling. Smiling is a submissive gesture in greyhounds and the smilers usually make wonderful pets that want to please. Rachel gets along great with other dogs.There is a very irritating mini-doxie in her foster home but Rachel has never once been bothered by him. She loves to go for walks and has even done long hikes with her foster mom. Rachel has some separation anxiety, but that is beginning to fall away and in time may not be an issue. She once followed her foster mom from room to room but now is even OK sleeping in a separate bedroom. She is most comfortable if she is in a crate when she is alone and that keeps her calm and out of trouble. She loves to go for rides and has not shown any sign of separation anxiety in a car and will just lay on the seat and wait for you if you get back. Rachel is a super sweet, outgoing girl that wants to be with you and wants to please. She is smart and learns quickly and has picked up on house manners fast. What a beautiful girl! She is going to make a wonderful pet for a very lucky family.

Lady is a 2.5 year old brindle girl that has no races listed. Her sire is DK's Prime Time and her dam is CWCs Mirage. She was born on 4/8/07 and weighs 58lbs.  She's pretty timid and shy at first and will need some time to warm up to a new family. Because fast movements and loud noises make her uncomfortable she needs a home with quiet older children or no children.  Young active kids would probably scare her but she has warmed up to older children in her foster home. Lady loves to ride in the car and crates well.  She walks and potties on leash too so might be OK in living in an apartment or townhome. She passed her cat and small dog tests so should be OK in a home with either.

Her Pedigree

Carrot (or Care Bear) is a very tiny, sweet, happy girl that doesn't know a stranger. She is mid level energy with enough energy to be fun and playful. She walks great on leash and likes to go for walks as long as they aren't too long. She went hiking once with her foster mom and didn't care for it much. She is a very girly girl and didn't care for the rough terrain. Two of Care Bear's favorite things are her chew toys and her people. If she does anything wrong she responds very well to correction - once or twice is usually all it takes because she wants to please. She is getting along well with the tiny dogs in her foster home and is getting used to the cats. She can be a little vocal when left alone so may not be the best dog for apartment living. Just look at that adorable face she is a hard one to resist!

Caller is a dignified gentleman and prances around the home exploring everything. He enjoys a comfy bed and will push the bed & blanket around to make it just right. He has good house manners and seems to be friends with everyone & everything he meets, including the cats in his foster home. Caller has a fun loving side as well, swinging toys around and rooting in the toy box to find just what he wants. His sire is Dominator and his dam is Mega Goosebumps. Caller was a great racer in his day and was a finalist in the 2004 Hollywood Classic and set the 6/16th track record on 2/12/14. He raced 127 races at Flagler, Mardi Gras and Naples Ft Myers.

His Pedigree

Endura only has 9 races listed and never won one of them. Even though she wasn't a good racer she had a good pedigree so she had one litter of 5 puppies in 2009. She had complications having those pups so had to be spayed and retired. Her sire is Coldwater Konow and her dam is Victorian Ruler. Endura is a small girl that raced at just 56lbs and DOB is 4/21/04. Endura is a sweet girl that is slightly shy at first but seems like she will warm up quickly. 

Her Pedigree

Pretty Doll raced at Sanford Orlando Track but not for long. Her sire is Maryville Rumble and her dam is Sobe Grand Capri. Pretty Doll lives up to her name, she is a very pretty, tiny little doll. She is calm, quiet and well behaved in her foster home. She likes to play with toys and go for rides but doesn't like to wear coats on cold days. She is a friendly, happy little girl that will make a great family pet. She gets along well with the other dogs and cats in her foster home and walks nicely on leash. She also seems to like the children she has met and is gentle with them. This little girl will go fast!

Her Pedigree

Misti is a beautiful black female that was born 8/17/07. She doesn't have any races listed. Her sire is Fine Silver and her dam is JRs Prelude. We placed her mother too. Misti just arrived. More as we get to know her

Her Pedigree

Fancy is just over 2 yrs old and is a spunky little girl that raced at just 55lbs. She only raced 7 races and never won one of them. She tried her luck at Derby Lane, Naples Ft Myers and Sanford Orlando before they officially retired her. We also placed her mom Park Top. Her sire is Maryville Rumble. Fancy passed her first cat test and seems to just love everyone. She has a lot of energy and needs some work on leash walking but takes correction well. She has been great in the house and made herself right at home immediately. She loves hoarding toys and has fun hiding them finding them later on.

Her Pedigree

Barney is a gorgeous red brindle boy that didn't race. He is just 15 months old and decided to play rather than chase the lure in training. He is very calm and well behaved for such a young guy. He loves to go for rides and lays on the back seat and looks out the window. Barney potties well on leash so may be OK without a fenced yard if he gets regular walks. He crates happily and isn't much of a marker so should be easy to potty train. He gets along well with other dogs and let the girls in his pen at the farm boss him around even though he was bigger. He is a medium sized male with a very outgoing personality. With his calm, well behaved, friendly nature he would probably make an excellent Therapy Dog or just a great family pet. Barney is cat, kid and small dog tolerant.
