His traveling details from Down Under:  Diesel is a laid-back, adaptable boy who quickly makes himself at home.  He loves the company of medium to large dogs and enjoys playful romps with his canine pals.  Diesel's favorite pastime is swimming- whether it's in the lake, tidal rock pools, or the garden sprinkler, he's happiest in the water.  Diesel would thrive in a home that embraces his calm nature and enjoys outdoor adventures.  He's a lovely, settled boy who would be a great addition to any family.

Diesel turned 5 on December 20.  He tested safe with a Westie, but not safe with their cat tester so shouldn't be placed with them.  He has experience with children 11 years and older from his home days in Australia.  He's listed as 29kg, which translates to about 64 lbs, putting him on the smaller size for a male.  More about this boy as he settles in!

From our Aussie friends:  Junior is a sweet black male greyhound who's all about the love and fun!  He's a big fan of bum scratches and will happily lean in for as many as you're willing to give.  He enjoys his walks and is a dream on the lead, making him the perfect companion for outdoor adventures.  He'd love a yard where he can run around, whether it's chasing toys or playing with kids.  With his friendly, easy going nature and love for activity, Junior would make a great addition to an active household looking for a fun and affectionate buddy.

Junior will turn 5 in October.  He tested safe with an Italian Greyhound and a Cavoodle, but not able to relax with the cats.  He's also good with children.  Junior is listed at 68 lbs so is a nice, medium-sized boy.  More as we get to know this awesome boy!

BGR Bettin Barry
Racing Name:
BGR Bettin Barry
Pet/Kennel Name:
Barry
Age:
8
Color/Gender:
Black Male
Cat Tolerance:
Yes
Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Testing
Fostered by (location):
Broquet (Greenville SC)
Adoption Status: Under evaluation for adoption

Barry came in from the Blanchard Kennel at the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville FL. He also raced briefly at Dubuque and Tri State in WV. Barry had a pretty long career of 116 races and got up to the top A level so was good. He retired March 16th of 2020. Barry raced at 71lbs and turned 3 on January 14th. His sire is the famous Flying Penske and his dam is Boc's Slim N Fit. Barry is a friendly, curious guy that loves going for rides. He passed his cat and small dog tests easily so should be able to live with small animals.   Update!  Barry, now known as Bruce, will be arriving for foster placement or adoption on 3.17.25 because of an Economy Return.  Through no fault of his own or his loving family, we will be finding a new family who will love him as much as they did.  He is still safe with small dogs and cats, although he hasn't had much experience with children in his home.  He is very chill and good with meeting strangers, to the point that he's become the unofficial office dog some days at the local boarding kennel where his momma works.  Such a good boy!  His only issue seems to be a slight separation anxiety when left totally alone, so would do best with either a family who has other greyhounds, or one that wants him with them most of the time. He just turned 8 in January and has so much love to give.
