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.

Jock (Missing Gears) ADOPTION PENDING
DOB: 3/1/2017 Cat Trainable – Yes Hi there, I'm Jock. Am I cute or what?? I'm a really good boy and gaining my confidence.

Leo (Buckle Up Leo)
4.5 yrs Cat Trainable – NO I'm a lovely big fawn boy, although not the biggest, only weighing around 34kg's. I'm an ex-racer although I wasn't particularly successful. I really enjoy pet life and have adjusted extremely well even though my last race was less than two months ago! I'm house trained (haven't had an accident) and I sleep all through the night without needing to go outside. I particularly like sharing your bed with you and I'm up on your bed within seconds of being told its bedtime! I'm a snuggly boy and love your cuddles and kisses. I'm getting better at waiting patiently for my food, and I enjoy my treats very much so I'm still a little too eager to get them from you...I am improving though! I'm not a fussy eater and enjoy everything that's put in front of me. I love my kibble pops of a morning, which is my dry food (around 2 cups) soaked in hot water and milk, then a little while later I have my raw meat (approx. 450 - 500gm's) that has been mixed with boiling water. At other times, i enjoy my kibble mixed in with my raw meat and water. Of an evening, I have my raw meat again, and kibble. I generally eat my kibble later, once I have digested my main meal. Through the day I enjoy nibbling kibble that my foster mum leaves out for us. I'm very good and share with my foster sister, there's never been any fights about food, I'm more than happy to share and so is she. A couple of times a week, we get to have mackerel, and sardines in olive oil...delicious, these are a favorite. I love my walks and I'm pretty good on lead. I can be a little growly toward other dogs although I'm getting better. I'm pretty good with my foster cousin the staffy. I'm a goofy boy and get very excited when you come home from work, I'm learning my manners and know that I'm not meant to jump up although sometimes I do forget. I'm a good boy and will win your heart in no time. A fenced yard is required to adopt Leo. |

House (Flyin Full House) ADOPTED
DOB:1/12/14 Cat Trainable – NO House is a friendly, happy guy. He loves attention and adventures. His forever family was waiting for him when he arrived. Foster Home Update: Foster House is a big galoot of a guy. He is very cuddly and thinks he's a lap dog. He will make your legs go numb if you let him. He enjoys zoomies and a good game of steal-the-stuffy with the other hounds. He is slowly learning to sit for treats. He tolerates Monkey's teasing with patience. He will lie down anywhere - hallway, kitchen floor, living room - with a loud THUD that sounds like he fell down. He is *that* relaxed. He refuses to get near the stairs down to the basement although he readily ran up them when I walked him around the outside and brought him in from the lower entrance to the house. Some mornings when I am downstairs getting ready for work, I will catch him looking down the stairs at me with his 2 front paws on the top step. He goes up and down the 4 steps in and out of the house to the yard without issue so there is hope for him yet. A fenced yard is required to adopt House. |

Bing (JJ's Baddabing) ADOPTED
DOB: 9/24/14 Cat Trainable – NO Hey there, my name is Bing. It’s short for my professional racing name, JJ’s Baddabing. It’s a pretty cool name if you ask me. And yep, I am retired after a career as a professional athlete with 70 races and some of them were wins. Let me tell you more about myself. I’m looking for my long-term retirement home. I would love a home with kids to love, cuddle and play with me. No cats, please. I enjoy having other dogs to play with me too. I enjoy the activity of a family and people to be with. Did I mention that I can fetch! How cool would it be to have the fastest fetching dog on the block? My foster home describes me as a sweet, cuddly little thing. As well as a queen bee, I prefer the term diva. That just means I would do better with male dogs so I can be in charge of things if you know what I mean. I’m still getting used to the retired life as a pet and curious about everything! I’ve learned to do stairs and hardwood floors like a pro. Ask anyone, that’s a big deal with these long beautiful super model legs of mine. Contact my people if you have a couch for me. Yeah, it’s true I enjoy couch time too. --Bing A fenced yard is required to adopt Bing. |

Spirit (Unleashed Spirit) ADOPTED
DOB: 1/18/15 Cat Trainable – Yes Foster Home Update: Spirit is a girlie who is happy and content within herself and her pack of greyhounds, but just doesn’t enjoy being touched by people. She has no problem taking a treat from my hand or even coming up to lick it. She’s first in line to be taken for walks and is fearless on leash. She’s reduced her boundaries considerably, but the one bridge too far is being touched involuntarily. She will now submit to being muzzled or unmuzzled, and I take the opportunity to pet her gently. She leans against me for the petting session, but it’s clear she’d rather be elsewhere. Spirit is slowly relaxing and becoming more comfortable here. She no longer bolts when I need to walk past her dish at feeding time, merely steps aside as do the rest of the girlies. When I awoke this morning, she vigorously rubbed her snout on my exposed foot. I think she may be turning a corner in her trust issues, and I’m so happy for her. Spirit will need an experienced adopter with another confident greyhound, no children, and hopefully with shy dog knowledge. A fenced yard is required to adopt Spirit. |

Drama ADOPTED
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.

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.

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. |

He does very well on the lead on trails and loves water. When coming off the trails and into a very active area he needs a little time to regain his confidence with all the commotion. He eats well and has not been destructive at all in the home including when we are not there. A fenced yard is required to adopt Talladega. |

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.

Foster Home Update: Pocono is an outgoing, fun-loving love-bug. He uses his head to make his wishes known; he head-butts me when I come in the door after work while gently nipping at my hands. 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.

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. |
