Greyhound Crossroads

SPECIAL NEEDS! Hunter came to us from Mick Hymes Farm in Arkansas. We were told she was completely blind before we got her. When we got her, we were pleased to find out that she still had some sight according to an eye specialist. And the best news was that it is just pannus where blood vessels and tissue start to grow across the eye blocking vision. Daily drops in her eyes will stop that and will improve her vision and even reverse it and we can see improvement after just one day. We are thrilled that Hunter is going to have her sight back!!  She is likely to need to continue the drops in her eyes for the rest of her life. Hunter was a good racer and was retired to become a mom. She was a good mom and raised her last litter of puppies after she was pretty blind with no problems. She has a total of 16 puppies in 2 litters that are registered so far, but there is another more recent litter still being registered. Hunter raced at 64lbs. She just turned 6 on March 22nd. Her sire is AMF Ex President and her dam is Gable Redneck. Hunter settled right into foster care with no problem. She is very sweet and loving and her cute curly tail wags all the time. Hunter was vetted at Oasis Animal Hospital in Mauldin. Although Hunter can't see very well and doesn't have many teeth, when she sees the cats move in her foster home, she does try to chase them, so she really needs a home with no cats.

Mady just arrived from the Waverider Kennel at the Daytona Beach Race Track that just closed. She raced her entire career of 92 races there. She mainly raced at the lower levels but did get up to B level. Even though she didn't win many races she was a favorite of her trainer. Mady raced at 60lbs and turned 3 on December 4th. Her sire is the famous Odd Grayson and her dam is Husker Zhivany. Mady was curious about the cat and lost interest after thoroughly checking him out. Mady is a rare greyhound guard dog... her trainer would say Mady Mady Guard Dog and she would start barking. She would then come up for a gentle hug after she feels like she has protected you. Her trainer says she is a little girl but might actually protect you if she felt like she needed to. Mady loves dog beds and has already figured out the hardwood and tile floors and the stairs. Mady was vetted in at Clinton Animal Hospital.  Update!  As Mady has settled in, she's shown us that it's important she live with another greyhound companion in order to be happy.  She knows Greyhounds are the best and would rather stick with her own kind!   When she becomes stressed, Mady can be grumpy and defensive of her space.  She's going to need just the right home with experienced owners who understand and work with her accordingly in a situation without small children, or non-greyhounds.  Although she was fine with the very calm cat in her first foster home, she will need to be evaluated again with more active cats before we could call her tolerant.  Mady is currently undergoing evaluation and observation- if you feel lead to help this special girl who has so much promise ahead of her, let us know!

Amy Jo is coming in from Mick Hymes Farm in Arkansas. She raced 56 races at Palm Beach before she retired in August of 2018. She was good, getting up to the top A level and competing in a Stakes race. She went back to the farm to be a mom but has no puppies listed so may not have ever been bred or her pups may just be too young to be registered. Either way she is retiring from mom duties now due to tracks closing. She will turn 5 on April 12th. She is a tiny girl that raced at just 56lbs.  Her sire is the famous Flying Coal City and her dam is Karen Adams. Amy Jo is getting used to her foster home and is doing great so far. She has mastered the wood floor and stairs. She loves her crate and sleeps quietly all night. She is a sweet girl that will be a great addition to any family.  She has the softest fur! Amy Jo was vetted at Oasis Animal Hospital in Mauldin.

Gunslinger, now Tiger, is a red brindle male that came to us from the track initially before he was even two. He is being returned to us by the family that adopted him in March of 2014. His family renamed him Tiger. He ran 10 races at Birmingham Alabama Race Course before being retired. Tiger raced at 69lbs and is a tall handsome guy. His sire is the famous Lonesome Cry and his dam is CTW Cowgirl Up. Tiger was pretty calm and well behaved even when he was a young guy and is even calmer now. He is friendly and sweet and very outgoing with everyone he meets. He is very tolerant with other dogs and let a larger dog just lay right on him without complaint. He passed his cat test easily. He is being returned because he growled and air snapped at a visiting child that climbed on him while he was laying down. He chose not to actually be aggressive and bite. A growl or an air snap is the only way a dog can say it wants to be left alone. His family has moved close to relatives with small kids and plans to have their own as well in the future, so decided to re-home Tiger. Tiger will turn 8 on June 1st. These photos are from 2014. He still looks very much the same and is at a good weight and looks very healthy, just a little whiter in the face. He will have a fresh dental and health check and has already been brought up to date on his shots by his family. He is a very outgoing and sweet and appeared to be a very tolerant dog that didn't have space issues when placed initially. Any dog can become grumpy about their space when laying down or sleeping especially if kids get on them. That old saying "Let a sleeping dog lie" applies to most dogs. This is a sweet guy that loves people and comes already trained. He is very quiet in his crate so may be a great apartment dog.

Missy came in initially from the Birmingham Race Course. She only raced one of her 49 races there though. She traveled around to quite a few tracks. Missy started out at Dubuque in IA, then went to Wheeling Downs in WV, Gulf in TX and Orange Park in FL then finally Birmingham AL. She did get up to A level once at Orange Park but just wasn't a really good racer. She moved around a lot looking for a place where she would be competitive. Missy turned 4 on November 28th and raced at 65lbs. Her sire is the famous KC and All and her dam is WW's Whiteclover. She was called Minnie at the track but has since been renamed Missy by her first family. She is a pretty timid girl that will need time to warm up. Missy seems to be little more shy with men than kids and females. She was initially fostered with a calm 8 year old child. Most timid dogs are terrified around very loud fast moving small kids, so she probably needs a home with quiet older kids or no kids. Missy travels well. She is excellent on leash and goes potty on leash walks, so may do OK without a fenced yard. Missy went to her first home in October of 2018. That family was elderly and both fell and had to go to the hospital and were not able to care for a dog anymore so asked us to find her a new home. She was placed in 2019 and was just returned from that home because she was too shy. She passed her cat and small dog tests so should be fine to live with either. Missy did great in an earlier foster home with several small dogs. Missy doesn't interact at all on the first meeting, so any potential families need to understand that. She was very well behaved in her foster home. She is just a shy girl that is not a social butterfly and needs an owner that will be understanding of that and give her the time she needs to warm up and not expect her to change dramatically.

Sheboy, the girl with the funny name, was named after another famous dog owned by the same kennel that was the same color. The original Sheboy raced in 1985 and was an amazing racer. Sheboy is a pretty big tall girl that was actually mistaken for a boy by our volunteers when she first arrived. Sheboy just arrived from the Birmingham Race Course adoption kennel. She didn't actually race there but was sent there from the Southland Tracj in Arkansas to be placed as a pet with another adoption group. Sheboy was a good racer to be competitive enough for Southland, the most competitive track in the country. She also raced at Orange Park in Florida and raced at the top A level and even competed in Stakes races reserved for the best racers at that track. She raced 83 races and weighed in at 67lbs. Her sire is the famous Djays Octane and her dam is Shanett. Sheboy is just a little timid at first. She is an amazing girl though. She came right in and walked over shiny floors like she had done them her whole life. She just got into her crate and laid down on the trip up and never made a peep. She got in a car and road on the backseat the same way like she had done it all her life. She is very good with kids and is used to being around the kids of her trainer at the track and farm. She paid absolutely no attention to the cat or small dog moving around her and seemed like she was already used to being around both too. She turns 4 on August 11th. More as we get to know her. 

Booboo just arrived from Blanchard Kennel at Orange Park in Jacksonville. She is a tiny girl that weighed just 55lbs. She never raced due to an uneven gait caused by short muscles in her hind end. She was checked out by our vet and it looks like that was just the way she was born and not anything that needs to be fixed. She can run and play normally and just moves differently. She is a little overwhelmed and unsure about her recent move from racing kennel to home. She is most comfortable in her crate but is slowly getting brave enough to lay down out of it with other dogs. She is pretty shy at first, but her foster home is seeing more tail wags and happy behavior each day as she gets more comfortable. Booboo passed her cat test without any interest at all and laid down when she met the small dog so she should be fine to live with either.  Booboo is a littermate to Scotty that arrived at the same time. Her sire is Atascocita Bowl and her dam is Miss Kay. She just turned 2 on April 8th. She was vetted at Clinton Animal Hospital. More as we get to know her.

Hokey Pokey just arrived from the Roban Farm in Florida. She raced a total of 28 races at Ebro and at Derby Lane, but got bumped in the backstretch on Feb 1st. Hokey Pokey had sore muscles and went back to the farm to heal up and rehab. After she healed up, she went back to racing on the training track on the farm. She continued to have some soreness after races so they decided to retire her. She seems fine to run and play normally as a pet, but just wouldn't be a good candidate for lure coursing, agility or other performance events. Hokey Pokey raced at 62lbs. She turned 2 on February 16th. Her sire is AJN Chris Bosh and her dam is Flying Champagne. She was a little overwhelmed the first day she arrived but by the second day she was zooming around the yard and going up to everyone for attention. Her trainer says that she would do great in just about any home. She is a friendly, sweet, happy girl. She passed her cat and small dog tests with just some curious sniffing so should be able to live with either. She was vetted at Clinton Animal Hospital.

Emma just arrived from the Daytona Beach Race Tracks sudden closing. She raced an incredible 233 races and was an incredible racer. She is the current track record holder for the 660 length with a time of 36.72 back in 2017. No dog has been able to beat that time since then and no one ever will, now that the track is closed. So she is famous and we are thrilled to be able to place her! She started out her career at Palm Beach but raced nearly all of her races at Daytona. Emma is little, racing at just 58lbs. She will turn 6 on October 14th. Her sire is Aerial Battle and her dam is KL Elaborate Eva. We placed her littermate LB's Ghost Chili and also LB's Red Chariot and LB's Busy Work both from the same mom. Emma was a little overwhelmed and timid when she first arrived but it only took her a couple of days to relax and get comfortable. Now her foster home describes her as one of the most loving and sweet dogs that they have fostered. She will make an awesome pet for a lucky family. Food Court probably needs to have a home without cats. She is being fostered with tiny dogs and has gotten used to seeing them running around in the house, but she still gets overly excited about seeing small dogs running around outside and tiny dogs she doesn't know. Food Court is a confident girl that is used to being treated like a superstar. Like any Diva she can be bossy over her space, and doesn't like sharing food or beds with other dogs, so may do better as an only dog where she can be the center of attention. She loves attention and absolutely loves everyone she meets. Even though she likes kids and has shown no grumpiness about space or food toward people, because she is that way with other dogs we would prefer to place her in a home with no small kids.

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.

Scotty just arrived from the Blanchard Kennel at the Orange Park Race track in Jacksonville FL. He has no races listed. Scotty is an outgoing, lanky 70lb brindle boy who turned 2 years old on April 8th. His sire is Atascocita Bowl and his dam is Miss Kay. He arrived with his sister Boo Boo Jones. Scotty passed his cat and small dog tests with just some curious sniffing. He does get excited by fast movements so will need careful supervision with small fast moving animals at first. He got very excited when we tossed a toy when taking pictures. He is being vetted at Northeast Animal Hospital in Columbia.  More as we get to know him.

Tybee raced 41 races at Orange Park in Florida. She raced her last race back in June of 2018 and was placed in an adoptive home by Greyhounds as Pets of N. E Florida.

Her sire is Golden Squire and her dam is WW Kay Sun. She is a big girl that raced at 71lbs. Her previous owners say she is not good with cats and she hasn't been around kids but they don't think she would be good with small kids.

Sol just arrived from Blanchard Kennel at the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville FL. She is a tiny girl that weighed just 50lbs at the vet. She never actually raced. 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.

Angel just arrived from the Bolton Kennel at the Sanford Orlando Race Track, which closed suddenly due to the Corona Virus. We met her at the Bolton farm when she was a puppy and some of our volunteers named her as a fund raiser for a dog that needed eye surgery. The funds raised saved his vision and that a is where she got her name. Angel raced 41 races there and was pretty good getting up to the top A level. She raced at 62lbs and turned 2 on December 20th. She arrived with her littermate B Bradford. Her sire is All Star Owen that our group also placed. Her sire is Glenna Of Ruckus. Angel is very outgoing and believes it is her job to greet everyone. When we went to a race she went down the line of her fans greeting each one. She is a natural meet and greet dog and loves people. She is being fostered with small dogs and was around children at the farm where she was raised. Angel is being vetted in Augusta. More as we get to know her.

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. She passed her cat test with only a brief initial sniff. Chilli only raced 20 races before the track closed and only manage to win 3 of them. She is a dog who will need time and patience to learn to trust a new person and may never be comfortable with a lot of new people or changes in her life. 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. Her littermate LN Bible Belt who arrived with her is friendly and not shy at all. He was raised in the same environment and raced in the same kennel. This litter was named for John Mellencamp's song Jack and Diane. Her sire is Boc's Tony Romo and her dam is DK's Leapinlizzy. Chili has been vetted at Clinton Animal Hospital. More as we get to know her.

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. She is in a foster home with cats so she can get used to being around them. More as we get to know her. 

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. 

AJ just arrived from the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville FL. One of our volunteers met him there and has been waiting on him to retire.

Frivolous is a 66lb red female that will turn 3 on August 14th. Her sire is Dyna Double One and her dam is PJ Never Ask Why. We also placed her littermate Smote recently. Frivolous is very much like her brother, she is high energy and a lot of fun. She is not afraid of anything. Taught herself the stairs right away. She crates well but can be a bit wild when she first comes out. She needs a lot of training and work on walking nicely on leash. She does potty on leash though and is very food motivated. 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.

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.

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.
