Fostered by (location):
Augusta, SC (Sellner)
Adoption Status: Adopted by Hakes, 2.1.15

Klondike came from the Birmingham Race Track Adoption Kennel. He raced most of his 157 races at that track but also raced early in his career at Melbourne, Daytona Beach, Jefferson County, Sarasota and Ebro tracks. He is a very tall, handsome, brindle male that raced at 78lbs. His sire is USS Raceway and his dam is Greys Redington. He did not pass his cat test so needs a home with no kitties. He did do OK with the small dog he was introduced to so should be Ok in a home with small dogs with supervision at first. Klondike has a wonderful, happy, personality and loves people. He seemed to handle the trip very well and didn't seem stressed by anything. He was adopted but now Klondike is back with us and looking for another family because he made noise when left alone in his crate. He needs a housing environment without very close neighbors and definitely isn't an apartment or condo dog. He was living with another greyhound so having another dog with him doesn't seem to really help him stay quiet. He's a gorgeous, friendly boy and is ready to try again with the right situation!

She raced at several tracks starting at Wheeling Downs in WV then moving to Daytona Beach in FL and finally to Birmingham AL where she retired. She raced 58 races and only won 3 of those but managed to place enough to make some money and continue racing. She will turn 3 on May 7th. Her sire is TK Quick Strike and her dam is Hamparsum. She is an outgoing, happy, girl. She likes people and is very waggy and greets everyone happily. No one is a stranger to this sweet girl.

Good w/ Children:

Fostered by (location):
Davis, Yadkinville NC
Adoption Status: Adopted by Lohoefer family of Myrtle Beach, 1.31.15

Barry came in from the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville Florida. He made it to the track but never had an official race. He is a pretty timid, shy boy so he was retired before he really got started. Barry is very young and won't turn 2 until March 6th. His sire is Pat C Clement and his dam is GS Millie. He is a smaller guy that weighs 68lbs. Barry is a shy greyhound that is going to need a family with patience that will give him the weeks or months it will take to warm up to them. He is likely to be more of a home body that is too timid to enjoy going out to new places around a lot of people. Barry did pass his cat test, and was afraid of the cat. So far Barry is doing well in his foster home. He does cautiously follow his foster mom around and likes to be right behind her. He gets timid if she turns and looks directly at him but he does like to be petted and you can grab his collar without him running away so he doesn't seem to be as shy as we thought. He isn't brave enough to take treats out of her hand yet. He crates well but does make some noise when alone so wouldn't be a good apartment dog. For a young boy he is very calm. We think he will be a wonderful pet for his new family after he has a chance to warm up to them.

Fostered by (location):
Dyer in Gaffney SC
Adoption Status: Adopted by the Allee family of Charlotte 1/15/16

Pam is a red brindle female that raced at 65lbs. She is retiring from Palm Beach Race Track after 73 races. She also raced at Flagler and Naples-Fr. Myers tracks. She will turn 3 on March 21st. Her sire is Flying Coal City and her dam is USS Out of Sight. She has a beautiful red brindle coat and is a very sweet girl. Pam was very interested in the cat she met at the track but was much better with the second cat she met here. She went right up to sniff but got slapped by the cat and had no interest in getting near the cat again. So we put her down as trainable. She would probably do best with a cat that would stand its ground and not run away. She seems like a bit higher energy girl that gets excited easily about everything and runs up to check out anything new. She was equally excited meeting the small dog but just sniffed politely and quickly realized what he was. She has complained loudly about being in her crate the first few hours she has been here so may not do well in an apartment. She travels very well. She was hard to get photos of because she wanted to lean up against the legs of the person holding her leash the entire time and it was hard to get the legs out of the pictures.

Dream is a little white girl with black spots. She is small, racing at 58lbs. She raced at 67 races mainly at Daytona Beach. She recently moved to Birmingham and only ran a few races there. She did win some races. Her sire is TK Quick Strike and her dam is Hamparsum. She turned 2 on May 7th. She passed her cat and small dog tests at the track so should be fine to live with either. She is doing well with the cats in her foster home. Dream did great with an 18 month old that visited her foster home. She is still a bit timid but does wag her tail when people approach. Dream kennels nicely and will go in when told and is very quiet in her kennel. She eats well and is a very good girl. She doesn't do steps very well yet. She is just getting the hang of going down but has a lot of trouble going up steps still. So far Dream hasn't tried to get up on the furniture and prefers to lay on her dog bed. Most greyhounds aren't comfortable in the sit position and it isn't a natural position for most of them but it is for Dream. She will sit on her own.

Adoption Status: Adopted by the Cater Family of Walhalla SC 1/4/15

Sweet Senior! Razor is a 71lb brindle male that is a real traveler. He started out racing in Abilene KS, then went to Sarasota FL, Naples-Ft Myers, Derby Lane, Orange Park and then to Daytona Beach where he retired. He never was a good racer and in 118 races only ever won 4. He kept trying though. Razor just turned 8 on May 27th so qualifies for our reduced adoption fee of $250. He is a friendly, sweet, playful boy that has been in an adoptive home with 2 other greyhounds since January of 2015. His family is having to move in with their father to take care and can't take their 3 greyhounds with them. They have asked us to re-home them. Razor has a great personality and is still a playful, silly, guy that doesn't act his age. He has been living with cats and other greyhounds and is fine with small dogs. He hasn't lived with kids but has always been fine with the ones he has been around. His family thinks he would do fine in just about any situation and would be fine being placed on his own without his buddies. All three dogs have the same sire Maryville Rumble and Razor's dam is B's Katy Bee. The pictures we have of him are from when he first was placed over 3 years ago. Razor's family was able to figure out a way to keep him although they are still having to place his two housemates!
