Updated 8/20/2008

We want to take a moment and say Thank You to all our foster homes. We have already placed 29 Greyhounds this year. Since all our available greyhounds are kept in foster homes, we can always use new foster homes. Many more Greyhounds are waiting in kennels and on farms and we have no place to put them.

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.

Rain

Rain, a 64 pound girl who was 5 in February is a touch on the shy side, but will love you forever. She is in excellent health and very playful, once she gets to know you. Rain has lived with cats and 2 small Dachshunds and another Greyhound. Rain has let the foster home’s cat groom her, a very gentle soul. She needs access to the outside and plenty of chewy toys or knuckle bones.

Jiminy

Jiminy, a big, playful, 80 pound 4 year old boy still thinks he’s a puppy. Walks nicely, after he understands who is in charge. Jiminy has mellowed nicely in foster care. He is very loving and will cuddle on the couch and just learned that smiling helps get more loves. Jiminy is learning how to deal with other dogs and cats. In time he will be able to tolerate smaller dogs and, with luck, cats. Although Jiminy is very gentle, he is a big, strong boy therefore children under 6 are not recommended, unless the children are well supervised.

Spectrum

Spectrum is a 75 pound fawn brindle 4 year old boy. He arrived from the Oklahoma farms on May 10^th and reports from his foster home has him settling in nicely. No problems with the family’s 4 Greyhounds, all girls, and he slept all night his first night in the house. Spectrum has tested as cat curious, which means he needs to meet cats and understand they are part of his family and he is friendly with small, calm dogs. He also may be able to be alone for a few hours.

Munch N Crunch

Munch N Crunch, a very sweet 75lb Fawn boy, who will turn 5 in July, is a good walker and will bond quickly with his people. Munchie doesn’t like cats, and is friendly with small and medium sized dogs when introduced in a calm environment, will do fine. He rides very well and doesn’t make a mess in the house, but is a good player with toys. He does well with all children and has lost some of his reserve with adults.

Velvet

Tall, thin, beautiful and very black, Velvet, will make someone a very wonderful companion. At 58 pounds and on very long legs, she looks just like the classic art-deco Greyhound statues. These photos just don’t capture her charm, she is a must see. Velvet is a bit shy on first meetings, but love is in her eyes once she gets to know you. A good walker with no major health issues. Velvet has tested as cat and small dog friendly. Velvet and Stella are littermate sisters and make quite a pair. She will turn 5 in October, 2008.

Busted

Busted, a very playful and active 4 year old, is ready for a new home. He is not too good with cats, but medium or large dogs would make great play buddies. Busted is very people friendly and has gotten over his jumping up habit. Children under 6 may be a bit small for Busted’s activity level. He has a great tail and carries it well.

Stetson

Stetson, a great 4 year old, walks great but can be a bit shy in new situations. He can live with small animals and cats, and has been accepted by his very bossy foster home Greyhound. Stetson can be left alone for a few hours, once he learns that his people will return, perhaps with goodies. Stetson could make someone a perfect first Greyhound.

Stella

aka Move Over

Stella, a 4 year old, Black girl who is bit shy when first meeting folks and in new places. She is good with small animals and cats. She is being introduced to the world of small children, but at this time, children under 10 may cause her some problems. Move Over becomes attached to her people rather quickly, but may not do well if left alone so a canine buddy is recommended at this time. Stella and Velvet are littermate sisters, and make quite a pair. Please give her a good look and you may fall in love.

KoKo

KoKo, a shy, little 60 lb girl, who just turned 5 in July, is a very happy young lady and ready to give as much love as anyone needs. She walks real nice and just needs a trusting home. It doesn’t take long for her to learn who is in charge and, so far, has behaved herself in her foster home. KoKo if very cat and small dog friendly, but is worried about smaller children. At this time, it would be best to place her in a home with children 6 an older. She seems to need a constant companion, so a canine buddy, or maybe a good cat friend would tide her over when her people need to leave the home for a few hours.

These are some of the lovely ladies waiting at the breeding farms for a chance at their very own homes. They were racers, then raised puppies, and are now ready for retirement life. These greyhound mommies are special. They will absorb all the love you have to give and reflect it back tenfold.
