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.

Available Boys
Joe (Dow Joe)
DOB: 5/11/15 Cat Trainable – NO Joe...what can I say... He's a happy and friendly guy that is working hard on his manners. Foster Home Update: This little guy just turned 3 and is keeping us entertained with his puppy antics. Foster Joe is an active guy and still full of mischief. He loves to be outside and will keep you company while you get the yard work done. He’s also happy to do a bunny patrol on his own, looking for the rabbit who lives under our shed. Joe is gaining confidence and is learning to trust people. He will now take the cookie from me instead of my having to drop it for him. He has a tendency for thievery, as I have had to retrieve my garden shoes from the middle of the yard on more than one occasion. Not chewed, just relocated. This makes the younger residents have to keep their rooms picked up, as everyone knows the toys that are the most fun are the stolen ones. Joe is still quite young and will settle down once he matures a bit, but for now he is active and curious about everything and loves to be where the people are. Joe is a big cuddler and loves belly rubs and neck scratches. A fenced yard is required to adopt Joe. |

Drama
DOB: 9/29/16 Cat Trainable – Yes Drama is a sweet little girl that loves a good belly rub. She is convinced that everyone wants and needs to give her that belly rub.

We reserve the cat trainable dogs for homes that need truly a cat trainable dog. If you do not have a cat we have other dogs available for adoption. Foster Home Update: Drama is doing great as a foster dog and settling in well to retirement. She has won the pets and humans in the house over. She is still a little shy, if you call her she kind of does a circle to get to you. But, she follows her foster mom everywhere and is trying to be a lap dog. Potty training is going well. She would likely love a dog door, but does fine without one. Drama can be a jealous dog, if you try to pet another dog she will be right there to cut in on the action. She is also a hoarder and loves to take the toys and bones outside. A fenced yard is required to adopt Drama. |

Spirit (Unleashed Spirit) ON HOLD
DOB: 1/18/15 Cat Trainable – Yes Foster Home Update: Spirit is a shy girl that wants to love, but has no desire to be handled by a human yet. She does great with my own three greyhounds; there has never been a growl or a raised hackle between her and my girlies. She’s right on track for learning to relax and trust, making typical progress for a shy dog. She will sniff my fingers, and be by me, as long as I don’t try to touch her. Spirit loves her toys and bones, spreading them out around the living room. She learned the dog door immediately, and has never had an accident in the house. When she gains her confidence, she will be a loving little girl. A fenced yard is required to adopt Spirit. |

Ivan ADOPTED
Fawn DOB: 7/1/16 Cat Trainable – Yes Ivan has come a long way since his days as a stray wondering in Wyoming. He's become a confident boy that wags his tail like crazy when he meets new people and wants to be petted and loved. He gets excited when he sees his foster dad put on a coat because he knows it’s time for a walk and he will sit and wait for his leash. He enjoys the walks and walks fairly well but does need to stop and sniff along the way. Ivan is very playful and loves to play “catch me” as well as tug of war with the lab in the house.

He often pushes his head between my legs from in front or behind me like a fork lift when he is really excited to see me. He loves to play with the other hounds and will initiate play by bowing and barking. He has learned to go in and out the dog door and up and down the stairs. Outside, he may chase a bird in the yard, do a couple zoomies or give a stuffie a good shaking. He taught himself to lay on the sofa while I am away at work, and he will sometimes jump up on my bed in the morning while I have my morning houndie cuddles. For the most part he is happy on a dog bed near the rest of the pack. A fenced yard is required to adopt Pocono. |

AI ADOPTED
DOB: 10/25/16 Cat Trainable – Yes Foster Home Update: Al is a happy, sweet, fun boy! At just over one year old, he is very much still a puppy. At this point play and activity rate high on his list of things to do. He LOVES playing with our 10 pound little (mutt) puppy. He has met our 19 year old cat in passing and pays no mind. Al does well with our kids (ages 4-12) and likes everyone. He really seems to enjoy and find confidence in having a buddy around, so it would be best if he had another dog in the home. He has nice house manners and goes uncrated all of the time, thought I do keep him muzzled when we are away. He does well and enjoys walks. He barks a bit when he sees another dog. He was scared of horses, barked at pigs, and stared at a goat. He ignores our chickens, which are in a fenced off area of the yard. He loves pets, belly runs, and snuggles. He will make someone very happy! A fenced yard is required to adopt Al. |

Thurston ADOPTED
Fawn DOB: 7/1/16 Cat Trainable – Yes Thurston is a really lovely dog - handsome as the day is long and so eager to please. He still has many puppy traits - he loves to play, is endlessly curious, loves toy and likes to chew sticks. He is pretty smart, but so good natured it doesn’t occur to him to use his brain for any scheming. He walks well and has learned sit very well. He is still working on ’stay” and ‘come,” but aren’t most dogs? After introductions, he has been very good with all the dogs he has met, large and small. He crates easily and happily, and is very easy to care for: eating well and respecting the house rules. We would love to adopt Ivan and Thurston together, but they can be adopted separately. They are not currently living together. A fenced yard with at least a 6’ fence is required to adopt Thurston. He can be adopted to homes with or without cats. |

Pinky ADOPTED
DOB: 4/02/16 Cat Trainable – Yes Foster Home Update: Pinky is a very affectionate, sweet girl. She has embraced retirement and enjoys snuggling with her foster brother, lounging with a chew, and playing with stuffies. She is very polite around the house and on her leash. She is great on walks and has even gone on some short jogs. She crates well. She has been quite safe so far with the kitty in her foster home, mostly ignoring her (but sometimes stealing the cat toys!). She is a favorite among the neighborhood kids who enjoy petting her on her afternoon walk. Pinky loves to be loved on, and will stand all day for you to rub her ears and pet her all over. She has a condition called symmetrical lupoid onchodystrophy (SLO). This is not unusual for a greyhound. It causes her toenails to grow abnormally and may cause sloughing of the nails. Her condition has been under control while taking fish oil capsules. A fenced yard is required to adopt Pinky. |

Mel (Mel of Ruckus) ADOPTED
DOB: 8/17/14 Cat Trainable – NO Foster Home Update: Mel is the sweetest and goofiest boy. He loves affection, scratches, rubs and cuddles. He is an amateur comedian, walking around with his tongue hanging out the side or popping up his enormous ears at any unusual sound. He enjoys walks and does well on the leash (although there is room for improvement). He is very friendly and eager to meet other people and dogs. Mel has an injured back leg which only seems to bother him after longer walks and after lying around for too long. He has learned to lay down on command, but like most greyhounds he prefers not to sit. He has also learned to stay out of the kitchen and has mastered stairs. Mel crates very well and happily. He is curious and needs to sniff every single thing. He loves looking at his handsome reflection in any reflective glass. He is a wonderful and loving companion. A fenced yard is required to adopt Mel. |

She'll sometimes give you a sneaky little smile. She generally crates well. Foster Home Update: Are you looking for someone to cuddle with? Wanting a dog to love on? Dell is the most affectionate greyhound I’ve had at my house. She loves to cuddle! Aside from cuddling, Dell loves going for walks, squeaky toys and meal time. She approaches all with great enthusiasm. She is a curious and sweet dog who enjoys meeting new people. Despite her zest for exploring, she is still adjusting to all the things she may encounter in retirement. Things like sudden noises or even slipping on a smooth floor can surprise her. She is NOT shy or fearful, she just isn’t always as confident as she should be. She would do best with a quiet and stable home that can help guide her in to the good life a retired greyhound deserves. She will return the favor with lots of love. At just under 60 pounds, Dell is on the small side for a greyhound. She makes up for it with her big and happy personality! A fenced yard is required to adopt Dell. |

Riddick (KB’s Riddick) ADOPTED
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. |

Galahad (MJR Tazer) ADOPTED
Black Brindle DOB: 1/13 Cat Trainable – Yes Galahad is a very friendly fellow, always up for some attention. He does well with his foster sister, a Weimaraner, and is great in the house. He is crate trained, but would prefer to roam free if possible. He is typically very well behaved while home alone, and likes to sleep on his dog bed, where he will stay all night long. Galahad loves to go on walks and is very good on the leash. He’s a leaner and will rest with his weight against you for comfort, looking up to his human often for reassurance and company. One of his favorite things to do so far is to root his head under your hand or arm for some attention. The vet reports that he is cat trainable, and he hasn’t given much attention at all to the cat in our home. He is a wonderful boy, and would make a great companion. A fenced yard is required to adopt Galahad. |

Barbara ADOPTED
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. |
|
Gwen (FF Gwen Stefani) ADOPTED
Black DOB: 8/15/14 Cat Trainable – Yes Our policy is to reserve the cat-trainable dogs for those homes that truly require them.

He is a young dog, so he can be a bit unsure about new things, but his personality is definitely not shy. He loves attention and he learns quickly. He generally crates well. A fenced yard is required to adopt Tabor. |
