3 Adopted in 2012

Updated 2/5/2012

All our available greyhounds are kept in foster homes, and we can always use new foster homes.  Many more Greyhounds are waiting in kennels and on farms and we would like to have as many foster dogs as possible.

If you have room in your home for an ex-racing Greyhound, on a temporary basis, and would like to experience the joys of being a foster parent, please  contact us.

Square

Red Brindle Male, Birth Date 3/27/2007
Cat friendly: Yes

Kids:  over 12 is best

 

Square, 85 pounds, Red Brindle boy who is very shy at first but calms once he gets to know his people.  He can be very loving and really gets into ear rubs once trust is established.  Any change in the environment will send him into a very nervous state.  Younger children cause the nervousness as well.  A calm environment without much change is needed.  Square does need a medium to large sized canine companion, even if there is someone home most of the time.  He has no space issues and expects his buddies to be tolerant of his nervousness.  He will walk/run over anyone when he gets excited.

Expo

Red Fawn Male, Birth Date 7/2/2005
Cat friendly: No

Kids:  over 6 is best

 

Expo, known as Explosion at the kennel, we don’t know why.  He is a small, 6 year old boy at 65 pounds and is very shy in new situations.  Big people tend to scare him, but he is getting better as his foster home experience progresses.  Expo loves to be cuddled when he knows his people.  He eats well and will probably weigh 70 pounds in a few weeks.  Expo is not good with cats and must meet small dogs in a calm environment to get to know them.  Once he knows that the small dog is part of his pack he should be OK.  He seems to be confident to be a only dog, as long as he knows his people will return.  If you are a stay at home family or have a medium to large dog already, Expo would make a great addition to your family.

Seven

Fawn Female, Birth Date 8/12/2006
Cat friendly: No

Kids:  over 6 is best

 

Seven, is 5 ½ years old and 62 pounds, which is a bit heavy.  She should be 58-60 pounds and no heavier due to old cervical injuries.  A very calm and loving hound who could probably live alone.  In a pack, she will want to be the alpha.  She has corns on all 4 feet and should not walk a lot on hard surfaces.  This leads to weight gain if not exercised on grass.  Seven is not good with cats or small dogs, but larger dogs are fine.  A very special hound needs a family that will understand her health issues and love her anyway.

Ellie, known as East in the kennel, is a very loving 67 pound lady.  She was in a home nearly 2 years and returned when the family moved into a new home that would not allow dogs.  She lived with Gizmo, another available SoCalGAL Greyhound.  She should have a companion dog and another Greyhound is recommended.

Red Fawn Male, Birth Date 10/6/2003
Cat friendly: No

Kids:  OK

 

Gizmo, is a very calm and loving 80 pound boy.  He was in a home nearly 2 years and returned when the family moved into a new home that would not allow dogs.  He lived with Ellie, another available SoCalGAL Greyhound.  Gizmo has no health issues, but is a bit out of shape.  He will be well walked in his foster home, so the muscle tone should return in a few weeks.  Gizmo is a very good walker, he minds well and responds to the leash nicely.  He should have a companion dog and another Greyhound is recommended.
