First, a word on cat trainable dogs...
Dogs that are deemed 'cat-trainable' have been tested to see how they react to cats, however, this does NOT mean they will do fine with cats immediately. We always suggest a cautious introduction as well as continued training to help ensure a healthy and safe relationship between your new greyhound and your small household pets. We use the term 'cat-trainable', rather than 'cat-safe' so you are not lured into a false sense of security. We want you to be prepared for some amount of work with introductions. We will provide you with the necessary tools and education to ease the introduction between your new pet and your existing pets.
Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them. If you have no small animals, you will need to adopt a dog that is not deemed small animal trainable.

Our current list of greyhounds...
Available Boys
Riddick (KB’s Riddick)
Red DOB: 1/4/14 Cat Trainable – NO Small Dogs - NO Riddick is a sweet, mellow guy. He enjoys doing things, but he's also happy to take a good nap. Riddick has a torn gracillus muscle in his right hind leg. This is a common racing injury and won’t affect his life as a pet. Foster Home Update: Riddick continues to settle down nicely. He's a very food motivated boy and will do almost anything for cookies. He has mastered sitting on command and down is progressing well. He likes to be where the people are and will follow you around the house before settling on the dog bed. He needs clear boundaries on what is acceptable behavior but will do anything to please, just let him know what that is. He would benefit from walks in the park where he gets to meet different people. He’ll continue to settle down the more he’s exposed to but for now the world is still a very exciting place and he’s happy to greet it all tail wagging. A fenced yard is required to adopt Riddick. |

Sayer (Pat C Yeasayer) ADOPTION PENDING
Fawn DOB: 12/05/2012 Cat Trainable - NO Sayer is a big, happy boy who wants most to be with his people. He is usually mellow and calm in the house until walk time, he is learning what to do instead of jumping when the leash comes out. He loves a good rubdown and will chatter his teeth to say thank you! He is particularly fond of ear rubs and will let out a low moan if you do it just right. He would be happiest with a fellow greyhound to share his home, but would do well as an only dog in a home that can give him the love he wants and the walks he needs. Sayer needs to be in a home with no cats, small dogs or small children. A fenced yard is required to adopt Sayer. |

American (American Girl) ADOPTION PENDING
Black DOB: 04/29/2014 Cat Trainable - MAYBE American is a sweet, cuddly girl who wants nothing more than to be as close to her humans as possible. She will cuddle up right next to you and tuck her nose in behind your neck to get even closer. She craves attention and needs to be close to humans. She is dog door trained and currently lives with a cat but would NOT suggest she live with a cat unless the cat believes it is also a dog. American would be the ideal dog for someone who works from home as she does have separation anxiety and requires a muzzle if left alone for any amount of time. She doesn’t just chew stuffies, she eats them completely, along with shoes and anything else you would like to get rid of. American likes to claim her humans and will growl at other dogs, when they get to close, so being an only child is preferable for her. She is still young with puppy energy. She is smart; give her love, time and attention she will mature into a wonderful little gal. She is great with stairs and has also done well travelling in vehicles and has even gone camping several times. As long as she’s with a human, she is happy to do whatever you would like. I think she would also be a great running partner if you train her to go longer distances as she is a bottomless pit of energy. She does well on a leash and loves to show you how excited she is when you come through the door…even if you were outside for only a brief time. We actually use a maze bowl with her for feedings as she will swallow everything whole without chewing, and this slows her down and makes her chew the food a little. All in all, American has adjusted to life really well, and she really just needs a family who will spoil her with cuddles and allow her to be the center of attention. A fenced yard is required to adopt American. |

Barbara
Brindle DOB: 6/1/15 Cat Trainable – Yes Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them. If you have no small animals, you will need to adopt a dog that is not deemed small animal trainable. Barbara is a sweet girl who can get a bit overwhelmed with the world. She is gaining more confident all the time. With a little patience she will blossom. Foster Home Update: Barbara is a shy girl that will take some time to get comfortable with you, but she is a happy and playful girl. Some patience with her on the front end will be greatly rewarded. She’s become talkative (silly noises, not barking) as she relaxes and settles in, mainly when I get up (“Where’s my breakfast?”) and when I get home from work (Where’s my dinner?”). She is not shy at all around other greyhounds, just slow to warm up to humans and trust. In my experience with many spooky girls, the love earned when they do learn to trust is amazing and unparalleled. A fenced yard is required to adopt Barbara. |

Emerson (PG Emerson) ADOPTION PENDING
Black DOB: 4/4/14 Cat Trainable – Yes Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them. If you have no small animals, you will need to adopt a dog that is not deemed small animal trainable. With a bounce, bounce, and a wiggle, Emerson is ready to greet the world. Don’t let her elegant photo fool you, this little darling loves attention and wants to be where the action is. She'll say hi with kisses and nibbles, and if you leave the room for a moment, will light up when you come back in. Emerson is still learning about her new life and we can’t guarantee any unattended socks won’t be stolen (ahem), but she's great with stairs, learning to crate, and has been well behaved with her foster family’s cats and the children she’s met. She’ll gently take any cookies, applesauce or sweet potato crisps offered, but says no thank you to frozen green beans. If you have a home brimming with love and energy, she’d love to be at the center of it. A fenced yard is required to adopt Emerson. |

He interacts well with our two, five and six year old grandchildren as well as our greyhound and daughter's small dog. Cracker has only shown curiosity about the cat, and all interactions are supervised. He and the cat respect each other's space. Cracker may be shy during the trust and bonding phase.

Zelda (Hilco Zelda) ADOPTED
Dark Brindle DOB: 9/14/2013 Cat Trainable – Yes Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them. If you have no small animals, you will need to adopt a dog that is not deemed small animal trainable. Zelda is a sweet, friendly girl. She can be a bit sensitive about correction, so keep that in mind as she learns the rules of her new life. She is very affectionate and sweet once she gets comfortable. While racing Zelda suffered a right hock (rear leg) fracture. This should not affect enjoyment of a normal pet life. A fenced yard is required to adopt Zelda |

Crystal (LK's Feastival) ADOPTED
Red DOB: 12/11/2012 Cat Trainable - Yes Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them. If you have no small animals, you will need to adopt a dog that is not deemed small animal trainable. If you’re looking for a partner to laze away the summer days, the sweet and gentle Crystal is your gal. Easy going to a T, Crystal is well behaved on leash, relaxed on car rides, and confident and comfortable in just about every situation. While she enjoys a zoomie around the yard and tossing her toys in the air and chasing them all by herself, mostly she loves a good lounge. On warm days, you’ll find Crystal in the yard in a classic Greyhound roach position - on her back, legs splayed, with a goofy upside down grin on her face. She’s ready to soak up all that retirement has to offer, and would love a forever family to help her perfect her afternoon nap. Won’t you be her sun buddy? Foster Home Update: Crystal's personality has really blossomed! She's a very sweet, goofy, and confident girl. She craves attention and is very snuggly and affectionate. She gives lots of kisses and is always rubbing her face on us looking for pets and affection. She loves having her back and neck scratched and does a cute little dance when she's really enjoying it. She's a total couch potato and after attention, her second favorite thing is a soft bed (preferably ours!) or a couch with a big stack of pillows. She crates really well and doesn't have any issues with being left alone, but if we're home, she definitely wants to be as close to us as possible. She has a cute habit of collecting all the dog toys in her crate. She has mastered the stairs and is an easy, confident leash walker and a real pleasure to have out and about. She is doing well with cats. All in all, she has adjusted to life as a pet really well, and she really just needs a family who will spoil her with cuddles. A fenced yard is required to adopt Crystal. |

Gilbert (RP Gib Gilbert) ADOPTED
Fawn DOB: 01/04/2014 Cat Trainable - Yes Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them. If you have no small animals, you will need to adopt a dog that is not deemed small animal trainable. Gilbert is a bouncy, happy guy. He wants to experience everything that life has to offer (and preferably, right now!). He enjoys rawhide bones and he generally crates well. Gilbert did well in cat testing, but has never lived with a cat. Use a muzzle initially, and closely monitor all interactions. When unable to monitor the interaction, some form of physical barrier should be used, i.e. crating. Gilbert interacted well with the other greyhounds although some of the boys found him annoying.. Caution should be used whenever in the vicinity of non-greyhounds. Foster Home Update: Foster Gilbert is a love bug. He will let you know he wants some lovin' by sticking his nose at you or digging it under your hand or arm. He's also a very curious boy, peeking in doors and cupboards. Keep your snacks and small items locked up. He is very smart; he learned to use the dog door his very first day, and the long staircase a couple days later. A fenced yard is required to adopt Gilbert. |

Manny (Manny Machado) ADOPTED
Red DOB: 10/1/15 Cat Trainable – Yes Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them. If you have no small animals, you will need to adopt a dog that is not deemed small animal trainable. Hold onto your heart, because this handsome devil will steal it in seconds. Happiest right by your side or cuddling up tight on the couch with his head on your shoulder, Manny is ready to be your forever love. Goofy and playful as a young pup should be, he’s also proven eager to please and fast to learn the house rules. He figured out stairs in a flash, is easy going with his foster family’s cats and dogs, and will always tell you how he’s feeling (hello, roos!). He’s ready to be someone’s very very good boy. Could that someone be you? A fenced yard is required to adopt Manny. |
