She is just as cute as a button! Her Australian pedigree and history: Since she never raced, there won't be an Australian race record for her. Her American Greyhound-data pedigree: She isn't listed yet- this will be corrected soon. |

From our Australian friends: Meet Frank, a strong and affectionate greyhound with a heart of gold! Frank can be a bit strong on the leash and pulls at first, but he settles into a nice rhythm and responds well to his handler. He comes when called and is loving towards people, offering positive consent during interactions. While he might tuck his tail when things get a bit overbearing, he quickly recovers and remains calm. Frank is relaxed around other dogs and has lived with another greyhound, walking well beside them. His gentle nature and ability to adapt makes him a great companion for anyone looking for a loving and social dog. Frank turns 7 on February 21st. He hasn't spent time with children, but his incoming testing confirms that he is safe with small dogs. He is too interested in kitties to live safely with them. His weight wasn't listed for us, but he's described as being on the medium-large male size. On arrival he was a little pully on leash, but engaging with the volunteers and a touch sensitive to the excitement. We will have an update on his time settling into retirement soon! Update! Frank is coming right along and loving his second chapter as a retired fella. His foster mom tells us he's very good on leash, in the car, and with all people. Like most greyhounds he can have active spurts with energy, and can be a little strong, but mellows quickly. He greets his humans excitedly when they return home, and the foster family is working to teach him calm greetings. Hes especially good with their children and has experience now with their 5 year old grandchild. Also very safe with their small dog as tested and confirmed when he arrived. What an awesome boy! Surprising he hasn't been snapped up by a special family yet but he's going to be perfect for someone soon.

From our Australia Friends: Meet George, an energetic and confident greyhound who's read for an active home! George would thrive in a house with a yard, ideally with older kids who can keep up with his high energy. He's social with other greyhounds and enjoys walks alongside them, greeting them at barriers without concern. George does need further training around small animals, but he could potentially live with medium to large dogs after a proper meet and greet. He's strong and excitable on leash, but calms down as the walk progresses. Though energetic, George is confident around unfamiliar people and is always ready for an adventure. If you're looking for a lively, playful companion who loves to be social and active, George could be perfect for your home! George was born on 1.4.22 so is still very much a young boy at heart. His foster home describes him as high energy, confident, and possibly trainable with small dogs and cats. Although he was very curious when meeting them, he would look and then walk away without lunging at them. He may possibly need a retest after he has settled into retirement and has some time away from the excitement of the trip over. He had no exposure to children while in Australia. He was never named so at this time we don't have a registered name for him, and there won't be a race history in Australia. More very soon as he settles in! |

From our friends Down Under: Lily is a sweet and gentle greyhound who's ready to find her forever home! She is a calm and friendly girl who gets along with other dogs, especially retired greyhounds, and is also great with kids. She's been a bit shy at first with new people, but once she feels comfortable, she's very affectionate and loving. Lily enjoys a good run or walk to burn off some energy, but once she's had her exercise, she's just as happy to relax and settle down. She's quiet, well-mannered, and doesn't have a jumpy, excitable nature. Lily takes her time getting to know you, but once she trusts you, she'll be a loyal and affectionate companion. Lily was born on April 1, 2021, so will turn 4 in a couple months. Her weight was listed as 28kg, making her about 64 lbs. Just as described above, she seemed a bit shy the first night in foster care but quickly settled in for the perfect retirement. More photos of this pretty girl soon! |

From our Friends Down Under: Earl is a distinquished gentleman who enjoys the finer things in life and would thrive in a quiet, peaceful home. Earl is a calm, easy-going greyhound who is well-mannered on the lead and loves to be around people. He's socially affectionate without being demanding and enjoys spending time with his human companions. He is stable and handles new surroundings with grace. He's also great with stairs, making him the perfect addition to a home of any size. Earl was born on January 17, 2020 so he just turned 5. He doesn't have any exposure to children prior to arrival, and didn't pass his cat tolerance test, but did fine with his small dog exposure. Weight was listed as 31kb, making him about 68 lbs. He's a fairly confident dog who seems laid-back and easy going even during the trip. More as we get to know him! |

Description from our friends in Australia: Hawke is a playful and energetic greyhound with a lot of personality! He loves to chase toys and enjoys being active, though he can be a bit erratic on the leash and strong when pulling. He's manageable with handling, but some leash training would help him settle into a better walking routine. When it comes to cats, Hawke didn't show much interest in his assessment- he was motionless and seemed more curious than reactive, but further testing is needed before considering placement with cats. He comes when called and offers positive consent, though he does show some jumping when overly excited. Hawke is full of energy and would love an active home when her can play, run, and get the attention he craves.
On arrival Hawke passed his cat testing by actually be terrified of the "black ball of HISS!" according to our volunteers. His birthday is February 21, 2020, so he will turn 5 in just a few days. They listed his incoming weight as 33kg, making him about 73 lbs. Contrary to his cute racing name, he's quite the sweet natured boy and will make some luck family very happy!

Chanel was originally adopted 3 years ago from Project Racing Home in NC which has closed now, so we have been asked to assist with her rehoming. Her primary issue in being returned is that she is uncomfortable living with active children in her space. She is also not cat or small dog safe, but likes other large dogs. Her birthday is January 1, 2018 and her tattoos are 18A-71643. Chanel has been living with a doggy door at her previous home, so we don't have any information on whether she would be good for a family without a fenced yard who walks instead. More info and new pictures of her will come as soon as she arrives in foster care. |

Scoobie seems like a happy, friendly guy that is pretty calm. He is mostly white with just a few black brindle patches with cute ears that stand straight up when he is curious about something. Scoobie has been in an adoptive home since July of 2018. His elderly owners are no longer able to care for their dogs so they are asking us to rehome them. Scoobie is being returned with Cookie Lynn. |

Cookie initially came in from the Bolton Kennel at the Sanford Orlando Race Track. She had a good career of 96 races there and raced much of her career at the top A level. She turned 8 on June 15th. Her sire is the very famous Lonesome Cry. We have placed a lot of his puppies. Her dam is Stevie Nicks and we have placed one of Cookie's half sisters named In A Blinkofaeye. Cookie is a sweet friendly girl that seems pretty calm. She is a rare light fawn, a very light blonde color with big dark eyes. She just stares at you when she wants attention. Cookie passed her cat test at the vet's office and was around a small white dog when she first arrived and was fine with him too. She is a very sweet girl that is doing great in foster care. Her foster mom says that if she even has to tell her no, she responds right away. Cookie has been in an adoptive home since September of 2019 with her housemate Scoobie. Their owners are in bad health and are no longer able to take care of the dogs, so have asked for help finding a home for them together. |

Rosie will be arriving from Australia in January. Our friends Down Under describe her as a cheerful, active Greyhound who loves meeting new people and enjoys plenty of pats. She's alert and curious in new environments but remains calm and stress-free. Rosie gets along great with other dogs, especially an Italian Greyhound named CC, but she's a bit too excited around fluffy small dogs, so she'd do best in a home without those. On hot days, Rosie loves to paddle around in her clam pool. She also walks beautifully on lead, never pulling, and enjoys a relaxed stroll. If you're looking for a happy, social, and playful companion, Rosie could be the perfect fit for you! |

Arrest just arrived from another group that asked us to help them place dogs. Their vet died and they weren't able to get dogs vetted or adopted. Arrest started racing at the Dubuque race track. He was moved to Southland in Arkansas, then back to Dubuque, then to Wheeling in WV and then to Tri State in WV. In spite of racing 86 races, he only actually won 7 of them. He did get up to the top AA level once. His last race was February 20th of 2024 and he has been waiting on a home since then. Arrest's sire is the famous SH Avatar and his dam is Biodiesel. He is a big, tall guy that raced at 80lbs. He will turn 5 on October 29th. Arrest is a very, very, friendly, loving guy that will follow you around. He likes to cuddle on the couch or on the bed with people or other dogs. He even let a medium sized mixed breed dog sit on him while he was laying on a couch, so seems to be exceptionally tolerant. He is playful and happy. He passed his cat test with very little interest, so should be fine to live with cats. Arrest also did well when introduced to small dogs. About the only thing he really doesn't like much is slick floors. He is practicing on them at his foster home. He is an exceptionally loving guy that will just lean on you for love and will stand there as long as you will pet him. He is a calm guy that loved the kids he met. |

Thunder just arrived from another adoption group that asked for our help. Their vet passed away, so they have been unable to get any dogs vetted for over 6 months. So these dogs have been waiting on vetting and homes for a very long time. Thunder ran 9 maiden races (for dogs that have never won a race) at Tri State in West Virginia. He placed in some of those, but wasn't able to win a single race, so he was retired in October of 2023. He has been waiting on a home since then. Thunder's sire is the famous Superior Panama and his dam is CET Sunny. He raced at 69 lbs and will turn 3 on October 20th. Thunder is a happy, friendly boy once he gets to know you. He can be just a little timid at first in new situations, but still eventually will go up to everyone for love and petting. A very sweet guy! Thunder is good with other dogs of all sizes. He is in a foster home with small dogs. Thunder had mixed results with cats. He was interested in them, but would redirect. He might be trainable, but we just feel that he was too interested to be safe living with cats, without a lot of training. He liked the kids he met a lot, so should be fine in a home with kids too. Thunder has had a toe injury on one of his back feet and one toe was amputated long ago. It is completely healed now and he doesn't seem to notice it. Thunder loves toys and takes them to his crate, so may be a bit of a toy hoarder. UPDATE! Thunder is available again for adoption, arriving on 12.14.24 to Jacksonville FL. He has shown mixed results with small dogs so shouldn't be considered safe with them without more testing and training. |

Buster just arrived from Australia. He only raced 7 races there and won 2 of them. His last race was December 4th 2023. He raced at 79lbs and is a tall, handsome, guy with a beautiful shiny coat. His sire is Dyna Double One and his dam is Lilac Izmir. He was born on April 16th of 2022. Buster is full of fun and loves to play with humans and other dogs. In Australia he lived with two retired greyhounds, a whippet and a Jack Russell and was very good with them. He is very social with other dogs and gets along with everyone. Buster was already home acclimated in Australia and was house trained there and had good house manners so he should be an easy addition to his new home. Whether it is a game of fetch, a run on leash, or just hanging out at home, Buster is is ready for anything. He does well traveling too. He was too interested in the cat to be able to live with them. We were able to redirect him some, but we would prefer a home with no kitties. Buster hasn't had long term exposure to kids although he really liked the kids he met. If you are looking for an outgoing, loving, playful dog, Buster is your guy! |

Meet Marley who just arrived from Australia. She raced 18 races there and retired on December 12th of 2023. She won only 2 of her races so had a short career. She has been living with her owners since then. Her sire is Aston Dee Bee and her dam is Steal the Glory. Marley was born on August 26th of 2020 and raced at 66lbs. She is very tall and leggy. This sweet affectionate girl has a bubbly, friendly nature that is sure to win you over. Marley is crate-trained and is quiet in her crate. She is happy to spend a few hours alone as a solo pet, though she would prefer the company of her humans or another dog for longer periods. She's great with stairs and is learning her "go to your bed" training. She is adaptable and eager to please. Marley absolutely loves playing with toys. She has lived with another female greyhound and has some experience being around kids in Australia and definitely liked the kids she met here. She would do well in a home with older kids that would enjoy her playful energy. Marley is an energetic, curious girl that checks out everything and doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. She was very curious about the cat at first, but spent the same amount of time sniffing everything else in the room. She should be trainable with a cat with some supervision at first. She also passed her cat test in Australia before coming to us. She was the same with a small dog she met, just a lot of curious sniffing and eventually lost interest. Marley should be a wonderful girl for just about any home. |

Java just arrived from Australia. He never completed the registration process, so doesn't have an official racing name and never raced. He was tattooed though, his ear tattoo is NJDMT. He is a small guy that weighs about 65lbs, although he doesn't have an official racing weight. He was born on January 15th, 2022. Java is a real snuggle bug. He will just lean and snuggle into you and loves attention. A true velcro boy. He initially seems very confident and curiously checks out everything. He is quirky and loves climbing up on things to explore. If he gets corrected by humans or other dogs, for any behavior, he quickly backs off and acts a little nervous. For example: at first he was confident on the slick floors in his foster home, but after the other dogs bumped into him a few times and made him slip, he is cautious. Java is very polite, not coming up the outside steps until everybody else is out of the way. Java loves to travel and is going to be up for any adventure with his humans. He is playful and always ready to play with his favorite toys and will show off his zoomies in the backyard. He is a happy guy. Java did not pass his initial cat and small dog tests in Australia and seemed too interested in them at first meeting. We re-tested him here and he was initially curious about the cat and did a lot of sniffing, but didn't even get pushy enough for the cat to slap him. He did a little playbow and a bark, but then wouldn't get close to the cat again. He acted as if a cat had slapped him at some point and he knew to stay out of reach. That goes along with his personality, backing off if corrected and being more cautious. He did great meeting the small Italian Greyhound we introduced him to and didn't even stand up when the small dog came into the room. He really didn't seem that interested at all. We think he should be trainable with both, with some initial supervision. Java is good in his crate and is quiet in the crate. |

Jill just arrived from Australia where she raced only 9 races. She won two of those. She ran her last race May 24th of 2025. Jill raced at 60lbs and she was born on January 21st of 2022. Her sire is Andos Mac and her dam is Kingsbrae Chooky. Jill is a cute, furry gal that definitely still has her thick winter coat - the seasons are reversed in Australia. She looks chocolate brown right now, but should shed out and have a shiny black coat soon. Jill has a cute overbite that makes her pointy nose even more pointed. Jill is a calm, friendly girl that walks beautifully on lead. She loves soaking up the sun and likes to be outside when the weather is nice. She is a fantastic traveling companion, and really enjoys car rides. When it is playtime, Jill has a soft spot for squeaky toys. With her easy-going nature and affectionate personality, Jill is ready to bring joy and love into your home. Jill passed her small dogs tests in Australia and was good with an Italian Greyhound and a Cavadoodle puppy she met. She also passed her cat test there and her cat test here without more than a few sniffs. She hasn't lived around kids but seemed to like the children she met. |

Finley raced at Derby Lane until May of 2020. He raced 30 races at the lowest D level and only managed to win 2 races, so was retired young. He was initially in a home until his first owner passed away. He has been in another adoptive home since 2021. We have been asked to help rehome him. He has lived in his former home with a female greyhound, but we have been told he doesn't do well with other male dogs. So he will need a home with no other dogs or only female dogs. Finley is the son of the famous Flying Hydrogen and his dam is Backwood Geewhiz. He raced at 77 lbs and his birthday is April 28th of 2018 so he is 6.5 years old.

Bruiser just arrived from Australia, where he raced 64 races. He only won 3 of those but managed to place in more. His last race was Feb 6th of 2024. Bruiser's sire is Banjo Boy and his dam is Zepping Maria. He is a big guy that weighs 75lbs. We aren't sure what he raced at though. He is 4 years old and turned 4 on February 3rd. He is a gorgeous Irish marked blue male. He was living in a home in Australia and is fully crate trained, does not have accidents in the house and enjoys spending his days on the couch. He also enjoys going for a swim in the summer. He has been around small Dachshunds and a medium sized pit mix and was great with both. He also passed his cat test. He has not been around kids much. Bruiser is a friendly, happy guy that is calm and very well behaved. He will seek you out for affection, but is not pushy. An all around great guy that is already home acclimated and should be an easy addition to a lucky family. |

He retired in February of 2021 and has been on his owners farm since then. Benny raced at 75lbs so is a mid sized male. He is a handsome black boy with a solid black face that makes him look younger than his 8 years. His birthday is Nov 10, 2016. His sire is Just The Best and his dam is Moonshine Shadow. He has been around small dogs and bonded and played nicely with an Italian Greyhound and a 3 month old Staffy Puppy. He has not been around kids much but liked the ones he met briefly. He did not pass his cat tests so needs a home without kitties. |

Charlie just arrived from Australia. He never received a racing name and never completed his registration process, so never actually raced. He was tattooed though, in his right ear VLTEY. He is also microchipped 956000014528586. Charlie is a gorgeous black male with a lot of flashy white on his chest. He is young and just turned 2 on June 3rd. Because he isn't registered we don't know who his sire and dam are. He was around small Fox Terriers at his farm in Australia and was good with them, so should be fine in a home with small dogs. He also passed his cat test without much interest. He has been around kids and likes them. Because he is young, he is more energetic and playful, so will need some exercise and fun in his life.

Introducing Tiger, a greyhound who is as majestic as he is gentle. He just arrived from Australia, where he raced 35 races. He only managed to win one of those. His last race was Feb 12th of 2024. Tiger just turned 4 on Septermber 2nd. His sire is Turanza Bale and his dam is Twisted Love. Tiger has spent his life in a home and is walked everyday around 4pm along busy streets. He is very gentle on the lead and walks with confidence. Beneath his impressive exterior, Tiger is a gentle sweetheart. His personality is a blend of calm and confidence, with a touch of playful curiosity. He has a knack for making everyone around him feel at ease with his calm presence and friendly demeanour. While he can be exuberant during playtime, he's equally content to curl up in a cozy spot and enjoy a peaceful nap. Tiger is happy to make besties with other medium/large dogs. He was very excitable around small dogs and cats when he first met them in Australia but did great with both when he got here and met them again. He has no issues passing them on the street, on leash, either. Tiger may take just a short time to get adjusted to a new home and when he does he will be a very happy, loving guy. |

So someone with a sense of humor named this litter of pups. Dung's littermates are Dookie, Deuce, Runs, and Squirts. We were asked to help another adoption group place some of their dogs because their vet passed away and they haven't been able to get their fosters vetted. That adoption group decided to call him Doug instead of Dung and we like that name much better too. Doug raced at Tri State Race Track very briefly. We were only able to find 7 schooling races for him. He always finished toward the back of the pack, so never had an official race. Doug's sire is Show On The Road and his dam is Kelso's Very Cool. He is a big, tall guy racing at 80lbs. He is 2 and won't turn 3 until December 23rd. When we picked him up at the other adoption kennel, he came running out and came right up to us with his tail wagging. He appeared to be a friendly happy guy and didn't seem shy or timid at all. He traveled really well and laid down most of the trip. But when he got out of the van, he was a totally different dog. He seemed completely out of his element and nervous. His head was down and he was very quiet and clearly overwhelmed. Once he warms back up and gets more comfortable we are sure he will return to the happy, bouncy, young guy we saw when he was comfortable. Doug easily passed his cat test and didn't seem interested in the cat at all. He is being fostered with cats and is doing great with them too. He didn't show much interest in the small white dog he met either. UPDATE: Doug decided he might like a nibble on a cat in his foster home, so to be on the safe side we are changing him to NO for cats. Still an amazing, gorgeous dog! |

Diabolic just arrived from another group that asked us to help them place some of their dogs. Their vet passed away and they haven't been able to get their dogs vetted and adopted for months. Diabolic started out racing at Wheeling in WV, then was moved to Southland in Arkansas. When that track closed, he was moved to Tri-State in WV. He raced 44 races, but only managed to actually win 4 of them. Looking at the comments on his races, he was fast, but just ran wide and got bumped a lot trying to get to the outside. Diabolic raced his last race February 11th of 2023 so has been waiting on a home for well over a year. Diabolic turned 4 on March 23rd. His sire is the famous Barcelona Boss and his dam is CH Honey Im Good. Diabolic raced at 78lbs. He is a very happy, friendly guy that isn't pushy. If other dogs are getting love, he will politely wait his turn and doesn't seem to be a really needy guy. He is a very confident guy. Nothing seems to phase him; slick floors, stairs and other new things are all taken in stride. He travels well and seems to adapt well to just about any situation. He is too interested in kitties to be able to live with them. He is living with a medium sized mix breed dog in foster care, and was fine with the small dog he met. Diabolic has been around older kids and and small kids and seems to like everyone. He gets along well with the other greyhounds in his foster home too. |

Leo just arrived from another group that asked us to help them place some dogs. Their vet passed away and they have been unable to get dogs vetted, so these dogs have been waiting for a very long time. Leo raced at Tri State Race Track in West Virginia. He raced 90 races there and won 6 of those. His last race was August 8th of 2023. He pulled up and did not finish that race due to a broken leg. Leo had his leg fixed and rehabbed at the track adoption kennel. The repair looks fantastic and isn't noticeable. Once in awhile he favors that leg just a bit, but runs and plays and will still be faster than any non-greyhound. His leg is completely healed after a year. Leo is a special guy that is going to need a dog experienced owner. He is very loving and likes every person he has met so far. He loves having company at his foster home. More people to love. He lives for love and attention. He is very dramatic about new things and things he doesn't like and tends to overreact. He is really worried about slick floors and just freezes, for example. He was also worried about even walking on a rug at first, but is getting more comfortable with those after a few days. His foster home is working on him with both but he is going to need carpet or at least carpet runners because he still freaks out on the shiny floors after having to walk on them for weeks. He will hop right up on a couch though. We were told he can be growly over his food with other dogs, so he has always been fed separately in his kennel. Leo has never growled at people over his food. Even though he doesn't want to share food with other dogs, he actually really seems to need another dog around him and refused to eat when kenneled alone at first. We think he would probably do best in a home with another dog or two, but probably not a large pack of dogs. His racing kennel felt that he needed to go to a home with his littermate Joaquin. Because of Leo breaking his leg, he had to be separated from Joaquin for 6 months, and did OK though. We tried putting them in separate foster homes and they did fine. Leo passed his cat test. He paid no attention to the cat and was much more worried about the slick bathroom floor he was standing on. Leo's sire is the famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and his dam is Braska Diane. His DOB is 8/7/19 so he just turned 5 years old. He raced at 69lbs. |

Billy just arrived from another adoption group that asked us to help them place some dogs. Their vet passed away and they haven't been able to get dogs vetted, so these dogs have been waiting on homes for too long. Billy went to the Tri-State RaceTrack in West Virginia to race. He ran 6 schooling races in October of 2023, and came in toward the back of the pack in all of them, so never had an official race. His sire is Show On The Road and his dam is CTW Funfetti. He is an extra large, tall boy that raced at 80bs. That was a very tall, skinny 80lbs. He is as tall as some 90lb greyhounds, so may fill out and be heavier than 80. He was born February 12, 2022 so is just 2 years old. Billy is a friendly, goofy, happy guy, that runs up to everyone he sees. If another dog is getting petted, he will be poking his nose in to get love too. He still seems like a goofy pup most of the time and is still learning that his long back legs are supposed to follow the long front legs up and down stairs. He is like a colt sometimes learning to use those legs and actually has something a bit different about his stride that is probably the reason he never was able to race well. We will have our vet check him out when he goes in for his neuter. Billy passed his cat test with just some casual sniffing. He likes kids of all ages. Billy passed his cat test and his small dog tests easily, so should be fine to live with them. This is a really sweet guy that is going to be a great best friend. Although he is pretty young still, he doesn't chose to run around a lot and doesn't require a lot of exercise. He seems like he is going to be a pretty calm guy. |

Batman just arrived from another adoption group that asked us to help them place dogs. Their vet passed away and they couldn't get these dogs vetted or adopted. Batman raced 7 races at the Tri State Race Track back in October of 2023. He didn't place in any of his races so was retired then, and has been waiting on a home since then. His sire is the famous Rob Gronkowski and his dam is Britney Eureton. He raced at 68lbs and will turn 3 on September 20th. Batman is a gorgeous, shiny black boy that is very friendly and happy. He travels very well and just got in the van and laid down to go for a ride. So far Batman has been pretty excitable about everything, wanting to go check everything out. Kind of like a squirrel on the leash. He was way too excited about the kitties to be able to live with them, but may need to be re-tested, since he was so excited about everything new when he arrived. He did do OK with the small dog he met, after some initial excited sniffing. He will need a careful introduction to small dogs, since they can look like cats or squirrels at first glance. Batman wants to run up to everyone he sees. When he saw people riding by on bikes, he wanted to go run with them too. He is very curious about everything and is ready to be part of any activity. He really liked the kids he met, but we think he may be too excitable and playful for small, young kids. He would probably enjoy a family that had older kids that he could play with though. He has a lot of personality, but does calm down nicely in a home. Batman is going to be a wonderful part of a lucky family. He can be whiny in his kennel, so may not be the best choice for apartment living. |

Promise came in initially from a dog farm in Arkansas in 2018. She was called Ally at the track, but her previous owners decided to call her Promise. She raced 70 races, mostly at Wheeling Downs in WV, and was very good getting up to the top AA levels at one of the toughest tracks. Promise also raced briefly at Southland. After she retired in January of 2018, she went back to the farm to be a mom. She had just one puppy. It was too big and she had trouble having it, so the pup didn't make it. Her owners decided to just retire her instead of having more litters. Promise was adopted in October of 2018 and lived with her owner until he passed away. His family has asked us to rehome her. Promise lived with a male greyhound in her previous home so should be OK to live in a home with another dog. She turned 9 on January 6th, so qualifies for our reduced adoption donation of $350. She will be completely vetted before we place her again. Her sire is the famous Flying Penske and her dam is Cidina. Promise raced at 65lbs. She is good on leash and potties on leash, so may do fine with potty walks instead of having a fenced yard. Promise travels really well and just gets in the car and lays down. She is calm in her crate. Promise can be just a little timid when she first meets you, but is happy to let females come up and pet her. Even though her previous owner was a man, that loved her, she just never really warmed up to other men and remains standoffish with guys. We would prefer to place her in a home with a woman. Although she may not go up to a lady at first to be petted, it won't take her long to warm up and she will then seek out petting and affection. Promise does like kids and gets more excited to see them than adults. Because she is timid we think that very young loud kids and their toys and fast movements could still scare her, so we would prefer to place her in a home with older children only. She is a grinner, that smiles when excited, once she is comfortable. She is very calm. Promise was interested in the first cat she met, but after that was fine with the other cats she met and not interested in them at all. She has not lived with cats in her previous home so we retested her with cats and she just sniffed curiously and then walked away. Promise even walked nicely past several ducks so seems to have a low preydrive. She has the glossiest, gorgeous, black coat. Promise had an injury to her tail, when she was young, so now has a cute little nub that is only about 3 inches long. She thinks it makes her even cuter and she doesn't have to worry about it getting shut in a door or gate like other greyhounds. |

Joaquin just arrived with his brother Leo from another group that asked us to help them place some dogs. Their vet passed away and they haven't had anyone to vet their dogs for some time. So these guys have been waiting on a home for a very long time. Joaquin raced 83 races at Tri-State Race Track and was pretty good, quickly getting up to the top A level there and winning 15 of his races. His last race was August 12th of 2023 and he has been waiting on home for over a year. His sire is the famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and his dam is Braska Diana. He just turned 5 on August 7th. Joaquin is a happy-go-lucky, sweet guy. Very outgoing and friendly. He is being fostered with kids, cats and small dogs and has been good with everything. His kennel at the track felt strongly that Joaquin and Leo should be placed together, but they were separated for 6 months when one was at the track and the other was with the previous adoption group. They are in separate foster homes now and are OK, so we think they may be able to be placed separately. Joaquin can be a little loud in his kennel so may not be the best apartment dog. |

Charlie B just arrived from Wheeling Downs Race Track in WV. She raced 51 races, mostly at the lower C and D levels. Her last race was July 3rd of 2024. Charlie B won 4 races and placed in others. She may have raced a little longer, but her kennel, Rangle Kennel, is closing its doors. Charlie B is retiring with her sister Cruella but they don't seem bonded enough to need to be placed together. Her sire is Need My Moneynow and her dam is Pat C Zitty. She just turned 3 on August 16th. Charlie B has a wonderful, friendly personality and her tail wags most of the time. When we asked her trainers who their favorite dog out of this load was, they quickly said Charlie B. She is very curious and checks everything out. On the trip down she mostly stood up and looked out the window, but did eventually lay down. Even though she is busy checking everything out, she always come back to people for love. She whined some on the trip and at first in her crate, but calmed down and quieted down the second day. She was raised with children and is very good with the kids she has met, giving them gentle kisses and choosing to interact with them. She is a big favorite of the kids in her foster home and she lets the 4 year old lead her around by the collar, even though she is bigger than he is. She really seems to love being around children. She has been good with the dogs she has met of all sizes and breeds. She has had mixed results with the cats in her foster home. She corrects easily when you tell her 'no', but has continued to show too much interest in chasing the cats again later. We think she will need a home with no cats, after working with her and the cats for awhile. Charlie B is such a sweet, loving girl that loves everyone she meets. She is going to be a great family dog. |

Cruella just arrived from Wheeling Downs Race Track in WV. She raced 26 races and only won one of them. Normally she finished toward the back of the pack, so probably would have retired quickly even if Rangle Kennel had not closed. She raced her last race on July 6th and arrived with her sister Charlie B. Cruella likes her sister, but doesn't seem so bonded that they need to be placed together. They are in separate foster homes and seem to be completely fine. Cruella is a small female that raced at just 60lbs. Her sire is Need My Moneynow and her dam is Pat C Zitty. Her DOB is 8/26/21, so she just turned 3 years old. Cruella is happy and sweet and is very laid back for her age according to her owner. She was raised around kids at the farm she lived on. She can be a little standoffish with new dogs on first meeting, especially other breeds that she hasn't been around before. Once she knows dogs, she seems like she is good and she would repeatedly give her sister Charlie B kisses and curled up beside the other girls on the trip. She spent a lot of time curiously sniffing the cat, then walked off to check out that dog in the mirror. So Cruella should be fine to live with cats. Cruella is a natural sitter, that is a position that is not comfortable for most greyhounds. She loves toys and carries them around and may be a bit of a toy hoarder. Her foster mom says she is pretty perfect, playful and confident. She has had only a couple of potty accidents in the house so picked up on potty training fast. She is still learning that counter surfing is not allowed. She is smart and seems to be learning fast. She is quiet all night in her kennel. She follows the other dogs in her foster home and does what they do. She does stairs like a champ up and down. Not only gorgeous but a great personality too. |

Pippa initially came in from the Sanford Orlando track as a very young girl at just a year and a half old. She didn't ever race though. She just wasn't interested in chasing the lure and you can't make a greyhound run is it doesn't want to. Pippa was initially called Trista but her adoptive family has called her Pippa since they adopted her. She has been in that home for 8 years and is being returned to us because the toddler in her adoptive home became allergic to her. Pippa will turn 10 on December 13th, so qualifies for our reduced senior adoption donation of $250. She is missing a leg due to a bad break she had after adoption in 2019. It couldn't be fixed, so the leg had to be amputated. It healed up long ago and Pippa gets along great on 3 legs. She can still run and play and it hardly slows her down. She loves to play with toys and will throw them around and pounce on them in short spurts between naps. Her sire is Bonafide Top Dog and her mom is Retail Therapy. We also placed her mom. Pippa was an emotional support dog for her previous owner after he got out of the service, so it was really hard on both of them to be separated. Pippa is very cat friendly and isn't any more interested in chasing a cat than she was in chasing a lure. She was living with a cat in her home and sleeps with it (check out her pictures). She is also good with small dogs. Pippa is much more interested in getting up in your lap for snuggles than chasing anything. She is a happy, sweet girl that so far has loved everyone she has met and hasn't shied away from anyone including kids. Pippa is already home acclimated and should be a calm, easy going addition to just about any home. She is absolutely adorable. |

Jasmine just arrived from the closing Rangle Kennel at the Wheeling Downs Race Track in WV. She raced 12 schooling races and usually finished toward the back of the pack, so never had an official race. Her last schooling race was July 19th, 2024. Jasmine arrived with her sister VJ Moulin Rouge, they are being fostered together but so far don't seem to be too bonded to each other. So we feel they can be placed separately. Jasmine's sire is Show On The Road and her dam is MJ Max Freeze. Her DOB is 3/4/22 so she is 2 years old. Jasmine is a tiny girl that raced at just 58lbs. Her owner described her as not really shy but reserved at first, until she adjusts. Then she can be silly and a bit of a wild child in short spurts. Jasmine has been pretty timid since she has arrived, but does seem to be more outgoing every day. She comes up cautiously and seems like she wants affection, but is a little too timid to ask for it. She just stares up at you with the sweetest eyes. She has been very good with the other dogs she met and didn't even fuss when stepped on or layed on on the trip down. Jasmine does well with kids and loved the 8-10 year old at her owner's farm, but was timid at first with new kids we introduced her to. She has also been fine with a medium sized dog of another breed that she met. She still needs cat testing, but we are pretty sure she will be safe with them because she wasn't even that interested in chickens when she first saw them. She is pretty quiet in her kennel and is calm and well behaved in the house so far. She can be timid on leash when she sees something new and tries to back away, so may need to be walked on a harness at first and may need a home with a safely fenced yard. Jasmine travels well and just laid down for the entire trip and rarely got up. She was a little worried about the stairs at first but learned them quickly. Jasmine is a sweet little girl that is a little overwhelmed by everything new, but should warm up quickly. |

Mulan just arrived from the closed Rangle Kennel at the Wheeling Downs Race Track. She arrived with her sister Jasmine. She only raced 9 races and placed 4th a few times, but the rest of the time finished toward the back of the pack. Mulan is a small female that raced at 63lbs. Her DOB is 3/4/22 so she is just 2 years old. Her sire is Show On The Road and her dam is MJ Max Freeze. She is the opposite of her timid sister and doesn't know a stranger. Mulan goes straight up to everyone she meets with a wagging tail and a grin on her face. She is super sweet and loves kids. She was one of the favorites of the 8-10 year old girl that lived on the farm where she was raised. She is very used to being handled by kids. Mulan is very curious about everything, but does calm down nicely at home. She has mastered the steps at her foster home. She gets along well with other dogs including a medium sized dog of another breed. Mulan did great on her cat test and just sniffed curiously and then wanted petting. Mulan is a happy happy girl that loves everyone and does the big greyhound grin. |

Stuart is a return. He was initially placed in his current home by an adoption group that has shut down. Stuart is being returned because his family can no longer care for him due to health issues. No problem with him. Stuart was born on December 3rd of 2017, so is 6 years old. We were only able to find that he raced 6 schooling races at Palm Beach in Florida. He came in 5th or 6th in all of those races, so he was retired young and didn't have an official race. His last schooling race was 8/28/2019 and he has been in an adoptive home since then. He has never lived with cats so it is unknown how he would do in a home with them. He is friendly with other dogs of all sizes on neighborhood walks, but has never lived with small dogs. He is friendly with all the people he meets on walks but hasn't lived with children either. Stuart is already home acclimated. He is afraid of thunderstorms. His owners think he may have a little separation anxiety so he may do best in a home with another dog. Stuart's sire is Flying Fired Up and his dam is Flying Husky. |

Fritz came in from Australia. He raced only 8 races and did OK winning one of those and placing in most of the others. His last race was March 8th of 2024. He raced at Wagga, and Healesville. Fritz's DOB is 1/5/22, so he is 2 years old. His sire is Wow and his dam is Gamma Bale. He is a very tiny boy racing at just 62lbs. He was smaller than the girls that he arrived from Australia with. Even though he is a small boy, Fritz is a very confident guy, that is likely to be the leader of whatever pack he is in. So he needs a home with other dogs that would be OK with that. Fritz was completely vetted in Australia before arrival and his ear tattoo is VLXIS. Fritz is a happy, friendly, loyal dog that loves to be around people, joining in on the fun whenever he gets the chance! He is super easy-going and is happy to go along with, and join in on, whatever you’re doing! Fritz is equally as social with children- he just loves kids! The children that Fritz has grown up with are 6, 8 & 10 years old and he is gentle and sweet with them. He is used to playing with them, getting a wash, and just generally being handled by them. When we did his nails he just laid there and let us dremmel them without flinching or fussing. So long as he gets his love and pats, he’s a happy boy! Fritz is happy to be doing whatever you’re doing and is a pretty calm guy. He does love to play with toys in short spurts. Fritz has interacted with other dog breeds besides Greyhounds and gets along well with them, but he definitely prefers his human friends. Fritz has lived with a Blue Heeler and her puppies and got along fine with them all- he was just happy he was never asked to babysit them! Fritz did great with a small Italian Greyhound he met when he arrived. His best friend was a small Dachshund in his foster home - they would play together and sleep cuddled up together. Fritz did not pass his cat test so needs a home with no cats. He is a natural sitter that seems very comfortable in that position, unlike most greyhounds. He has the cutest puppy look about him. |

Vista arrived recently from a farm in Florida. She was transported there from the Tri-State Race Track in WV. She raced only 7 races there and was only able to win one of those, so was retired young. She just turned 2 on June 7th. She is a tiny, fawn girl that raced at just 58lbs, but looks even smaller than that. Her sire is Hashtag Dangrite and her dam is Hashtag Xxntexas. Vista traveled well. She stood up and looked out the window some of the trip up from Florida, but laid down after awhile. She is a singer and likes to lead the other dogs in long roos. Vista is a little shy at first, mainly with men. She was pretty friendly with women and kids and came when called. She seems submissive, coming up pretty low to the ground with her tail wagging cautiously. She seemed submissive at first with other dogs too, not growling or correcting other dogs, even when they were bothering her. She passed her cat and small dog tests easily. She seemed afraid of the cat, but was very comfortable with the small white dog she met. She did panic on leash when something scared her and she tried to bolt away. She seems like she is pretty stressed at first in new situations, but she wants attention and should warm up fast. She also seemed to like the small kids she met. Vista was vetted at Emerald City Animal Hospital in Greenwood, SC. UPDATE! Vista is available for adoption again after a very short time with her adoptive family, because she did chase the cat after she got over her fear of it. She was also having some fear responses and mixed messages when spending time with the other dogs in her home. Vista may do best in a quiet, calm home with a family with shy greyhound experience. Vista is in a foster home now and has done really well, even warming up to her foster dad slowly. She has been very good with the other dogs in her foster home and is especially drawn to their male greyhound, following him around. She has shown no interest in chasing their chickens either so seems to have a pretty low prey drive. She is a very sensitive girl that tends to panic and over react to new things. She will need a patient owner that will give her the time she needs to adjust. |

Truman is a gorgeous AKC show bred greyhound and is not from racing greyhound bloodlines. He was bred for the show ring and is just a stunningly gorgeous guy. We don't get many show dogs to place so Truman is very unique. He didn't end up having the exact look needed to be a champion show dog, so his owner decided to let us place him in a pet home. He is a very big guy that weighs 90+ lbs. Truman has an excellent personality, very happy, very outgoing and friendly. He loves everyone he meets, so much that he may try to get into your lap. He loves attention and loves his toys. He is up to date on all vaccines and ready to be placed. He has lived with and likes small dogs, but being a playful puppy, he just wants to play with them and is really too big to play with tiny dogs. Since he is such a playful big boy, he would do better with medium to large dogs that would enjoy playing with him. Truman has seen barn cats at his home from a distance and gets very excited when seeing them, so we don't think he will be able to live in a home with kitties. Truman is still a young, one year old guy, so needs a fenced yard where he can run, and he will need lots of exercise. Young greyhounds are not like the calm, retired greyhounds we are used to. Truman has been living in a home so he is home acclimated, but being a pup he still needs frequent reminders on manners. He can be a thief, stealing things off tables and counters. Truman hasn't been around kids but loves everyone, so probably would be OK with older kids. He is so playful he could accidentally knock down a toddler. He is no wallflower, very exuberant and happy. If you want a playful, fun, very loving dog, Truman is your guy. He will absolutely love you forever and be your best friend. |

Sonja just arrived from a farm in Florida. She has just been retired from being a mom and has 2 litters of pups registered - 12 in all. One litter in November of 2022 and one in August of 2023. Sonja was a fantastic racer, racing 93 races at Wheeling Downs. She won at the top AA level and placed in Stakes races too. You can see why she was chosen to be a mom and hopefully pass on her skill as a racer. Sonja's sire is CBJ Irish Cream and her dam is Time Out Tundra. She raced at 65lbs and her DOB is September 26th 2017. Sonja passed her cat and small dog tests easily. She just sniffed the cat for just a little while to see what it was, then decided she would rather get petted by the people nearby. She is a very friendly, loving girl that loves to give hugs and is so sweet and happy. She seems pretty calm and well behaved. She was quiet in her crate and travelled well. Shonja loves kids and is living with them in her foster home. She was vetted at Emerald City Animal Hospital in Greenwood SC. |

Joe Joe just arrived from a farm in Florida. He is a retired racer and raced most of his 96 races at the Wheeling Downs Race Track in WV. He was a good racer getting up to the A level there in 2022. In 2023 he wasn't running as well and wasn't winning as often, so at the beginning of 2024 he was moved to the Tri-State Track in WV. He won a couple of races there, but still wasn't running great, so he was retired in April of 2024. He comes from a family of Champions, his brother JSP Rayzendacash was an All American in 2023. Joe Joe is a very tall handsome boy that raced at 76lbs. His DOB is August 9th 2020 so he is almost 4 years old. His sire is Superior Panama and his dam is Gonz Mani. He passed his cat and small dog tests easily. He was very comfortable around the small white dog and just curiously sniffed the cat for awhile to figure out what it was, then lost interest. He liked the small kids he met too. Joe Joe kenneled quietly and has been doing great in his foster home. He seems pretty calm and well behaved and is getting along well with the other dogs in his foster home. He traveled pretty well. He stood up and looked out the window a lot, but also laid down. He liked resting his head on the driver's shoulder and would wait to be petted. Joe Joe was vetted at Emerald City Animal Hospital in Greenwood SC. |

Jocko just arrived from a Florida farm. He is a retired racer and raced most of his 51 races at the Caliente Race Track in Mexico. He was a good racer got up to the top A grade there. In July of 2023 he was moved to Wheeling Downs in WV to race. He never won another race there, so was moved to Tri-State Race Track in WV in January of 2024. He raced at the lowest D level there and still didn't win a race, so he was officially retired on July 2nd of 2024. He was transported down to the farm in Florida and we got him from there. Jocko is a dark red boy with a black nose/ He raced at 74lbs so he is a mid sized guy. His sire is WW's Gustava and his dam is WW's Pure Bliss. His DOB is August 14 of 2021 so he is almost 3 years old. Jocko easily passed his small dog and cat tests. He seemed nearly afraid of the cat and didn't want to even sniff it. He rode well on the trip down and would get up and look out the window and after a little while he would lay back down. There was a thunderstorm and he didn't seem to be bothered by it at all. He is friendly, happy and wags his tail a lot. Apparently he has wagged his tail and hit it on things enough that it has caused repeated injury to the tip. Part of his tail has already been removed and what was left was bandaged up when he arrived. When our vet removed the bandage he had an infection in the remaining part of his tail and he had to have more taken off. So now he has a 4-5 inch nub of a tail that can't hit anything, so now he can wag it as much as he wants to. Jocko seems like a sweet guy that was quiet in his kennel and pretty well behaved. A really cute guy. He was vetted at Emerald City Animal Hospital in Greenwood SC. |

Brandy is arriving soon from Australia. He raced 35 races there but only managed to win one. He raced at Dubbo, Bathurst, and Gunnedah. His last race was November 26th of 2022. He has been living with his owner since then. Brandy is 75lbs and his DOB is Nov. 30 2019. His sire is Brad Hill Billy and his dam is Uniting Cargo. His left ear is tattooed with NIFDR. Here is his description from his owner: Brandy is already well on his way to becoming the perfect family pet. Underneath his gorgeous exterior, he also has a beautiful, soft-natured personality to match! Brandy is a lovely dog. He is incredibly human social and just loves to make friends whenever he gets the chance! In particular, Brandy loves children. He has lived with young kids ages 5-7 as well as teenagers and was great with them all! Brandy has mostly socialised with other Greyhounds, however he has been introduced to smaller breeds too. He was recently introduced to some Cavoodles, however he was a little anxious of them and avoided them when he could. Surprisingly, Brandy has also interacted with cats and doesn’t worry about them at all. He’s a bit of an enigma but overall, any introductions with cats or dogs should be done gradually and under the recommended guidelines to make sure everyone leaves with their tails wagging! Brandy is a clean and quiet boy in his kennels. You’ll only hear from him if there is someone else around and he wants to make sure you know about it too! He is a lovely calm dog, but he is also quite playful. More than anything, Brandy loves to dip his toes in water whenever he gets the chance. Brandy is a wonderful dog and overall, just a great friend. He is sweet, playful, clean, and calm- you’ll wonder how you ever lived without him! |

Skye was initially adopted from another group as a small puppy. We have been asked to help rehome her due to her owner being unable to physically care for her anymore. Sky has been in a home in NC for nearly nine years. She was born on 3/25/2015. She was from an accidental litter. Her mom is RCK Raven who has her own Facebook Page: Raven's New Adventure. Her sire is RCK Rambo. Since she was from an accidental litter, she never got ear tattoos. Her former mom did a lot of training with her and she earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen when she was just 6 months old. So she knows basic obedience commands and is a very well behaved dog on leash and in public. She was returned with another 5 year old greyhound named Jojo. She has not lived with cats, kids or small dogs, but did great on her testing with all of them. Since she was returned, she has been in a foster home with cats and has done well. She seems to like every human and animal she meets. She is very sweet, friendly and bonds fast. She loves to get up on the couch and sit next to you. She will pat you with her paw to remind you to pet her. She is very calm and laid back. Be sure to look at her other photos to see cute ones of Skye as a puppy. Skye and Jojo were adopted together again a few months ago together, where they lived with a small dog. They were returned again because both girls needed a fenced yard and their owners didn't have one. Both girls are resistant to going potty on leash and like to wander around and find the perfect spot. So a fenced yard is required for Skye. |

JoJo initially came to us as an 8 month old pup straight from a farm in Arkansas. She was the runt of the litter and only weighed 47lbs when we got her. They decided she was too small to race, so sent her to us to place in an adoptive home instead. She actually ended up growing up to be a normal smallish sized female greyhound probably weighing between 55 and 60lbs. Her new family picked out the name Joanna Nadine and called her Jojo since she was never registered and never got a racing name. Jo Jo was with the Chatham family of NC since 3/24/20 and is nearly 5 now. She was returned to us because her mom had some physical problems and couldn't care for her and her housemate Skye. Even as a puppy, Jojo would approach everything new to sniff, rather than shying away. Now she has blossomed into a wonderfully friendly, happy, girl that is fun and bouncy. Jojo is curious about everything and will be busy checking out everything. She gives kisses freely to new people and is very outgoing. She also gets along well with other dogs, but sometimes gets corrected by other dogs because she is so friendly and can come in a little strong. She did live with a small dog briefly too. She has had mixed results with cats in her foster home. When they run she wants to join in the game and give chase, but doesn't bother the cats the rest of the time. Because she is so playful, she would probably do better in a home with no kitties. Although she is not registered, she does have tattoos. Her right tattoo is 59C but her left tattoo is hard to read 73658. The last 2 numbers are really faint. Her birthday is 5/27/19 and her sire is Superior Panama and her dam is AMF Slammed Shut. Jojo has not lived with kids, but she seemed to like them when introduced. Be sure to look at her other photos to see some cute ones of her as a puppy. Jojo was in another adoptive home for a little over a month, but they didn't have a fenced yard. She was resistant to going potty on leash, even after being walked outside for extended periods. Jojo seems to like to walk around and find the perfect place to go potty on her own. A fenced yard is required for Jojo.

Bones is arriving soon from Australia. He raced 13 races and was actually good, winning 4 races in a row and becoming a finalist in the 2023 National Derby! Bones raced at Nowra, Wentworth Park, and Bulli. He raced his last race April 10th, 2023. Bones raced at 77lbs and is a very tall guy for his weight. His DOB is 1/18/21. His sire is Barcia Bale and his dam is Rockstar Stratus. He was vetted in Australia before arrival and his tattoo is NKAMZ. Bones is a big sweetheart! He is gentle and affectionate and an all-round softy. He is a super easy-going, laid back dog with a big heart. He can be a little shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he’ll have endless love to give! Bones will always lean into any pat you give him. He’s used to having a bit of company (usually another greyhound), so he would need a bit more practice and training before he could be left alone for long periods of time. Bones is however, well on his way to becoming a wonderful pet! He walks well on the lead, comes when he is called and only really gets excited when it’s time for food or to be let outside! Bones is a curious guy; he likes to explore and sniff around to get comfortable in a new environment. Even better, if this new environment has some treats he can munch on too! Bones has been socialised mostly with other greyhounds, but has a bit of experience with a smaller dog too. He got on well with the small dog, after some initial interest. He disengaged quickly and was able to walk along parallel without any issues. He was fine with the small dog he met after he arrived too. He had some initial interest in the cat but was equally curious about everything else in the room and he would walk away. He seems like he could be trainable with cats with some supervision at first. Bones is a fantastic guy with a beautiful temperament and with a bit of love and patience, he’ll quickly become a wonderful life-long companion. If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet dog who is just gorgeous inside and out, look no further than Bones. |

Annie is very human social and loves to meet new people. She’ll confidently approach (tail wagging of course!) and look for a little TLC. She will choose to calmly stand next to you for as long as you will pet her. She goes outside just long enough to finish her business, and then wants to come straight back inside. Annie has mostly socialised with other Greyhounds, however she has also been introduced to some small dogs. She got along just fine with the smallies and disengaged easily, overall she didn’t have much interest in them- she prefers human friends who can give her all the love and affection! Annie seems like she may be trainable with cats. She was initially very interested in the first cat she met, but after it slapped her, she backed away and didn't want to engage again. Annie is travels very well, she is cool, very very calm, and collected at all times. She is great on the lead and doesn't pull! Annie crates very well and is quiet in her crate. She has liked the small kids she has met. She is a gorgeous dog inside and out. Annie is confident, friendly, and sweet- what more could you ask for!

Serena just arrived from Australia. She raced 41 races there, won 8 of those and placed in the money often. Her last race was August 7, 2021 and she has been living with her owner since then. She raced at Moree, Coonamble, Tamworth, Bathurst, Gunnedah, Maitland, and Muswellbrook. We didn't get a weight for her but her DOB is May 28th 2018. Her sire is Brad Hill Billy and her dam is Karinya Connie. Her left ear is tattooed NHCTZ. Here is the description from her owner: Serena is a gorgeous, happy girl who can’t wait to find her forever home. She is a dog who has not had a lot of opportunities to socialise, however you would never be able to tell by how friendly and confident she is! Whether Serena is exploring a new environment or meeting a stranger, she is incredibly, happy, and confident. She loves to have a sniff around, investigating and exploring her surroundings, getting a full picture of what’s going on. Equally, she loves to meet new people (all potential new friends). She’ll come bounding over, tail wagging and tongue lolling ready to be your new best friend for life! Serena has mostly interacted with other Greyhounds, however she has also met with a small dog. The pair got along extremely well and after a sniff and hello, she was happy to disengage and be on her way again- an absolute lady! Serena is a beautiful dog with a loving, friendly energy that is hard to match. Serena is far too interested in cats to be able to live with them so needs to have a home with no kitties. She has been friendly with the children she has met too. Serena is such a happy, joyful sweet girl! She just can’t wait to find her forever home, so if you think Serena could be the love of your life, don’t hesitate to scoop her up! |
