​First, a word on cat trainable dogs...  

Picture
 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 available greyhounds...

Please note there is no such thing as a 'leftover' greyhound - it's not like picking team mates on the elementary school playground. The order our dogs are adopted out is pretty much random, and all of our greyhounds will make wonderful pets. In fact, the best companions are often the greyhounds who have had a longer stay in a foster home where they have had more time to ease into retirement.

Pool (Dead Pool)
DOB: 2/20/2017 
Cat Trainable – 
NO

​Hi, my name is Pool! I'm a retired racer who loves long walks, neck scratches, and hanging out with people. Like many black greyhounds, I'm prematurely grey but don't let that fool you. I am very active, and would like a forever home that will take me on daily walks or at least a few times a week. I have a raincoat and I am ready to go rain, snow or shine.

I was an amazing racer, and my track name was Deadpool. I miss it sometimes, and get excited when I see squirrels, rabbits or other small, bouncy animals. Don't worry, if I'm on lead I know to listen to my people and I will behave, but I wouldn't do well with cats and some small dogs because I like to chase.

I have lived alone and with other greyhounds. I like attention, but I also know how to share and take turns. I do need a little time to build trust with people and other dogs, and I will let you know with a little grumble. I'm pretty talkative when I want something, and can sound like a grumpy old man when I need to go out and do my business. Don't worry, you'll get used to it and maybe even over time find it charming.

​A fenced yard is required to adopt Pool.

Norm (Montie Court) ADOPTED
DOB: 1/14/2019 
Cat Trainable – 
NO

Norm is just the sweetest, gentlest, and quiet goofball. Affectionate and respectful, with a hint of velcro. And despite an apparent resting face of slight anxious fascination, he’s fantastically relaxed and gently waggy, (with that nice low, slow, swish and soft eyes, and no high-tailed arousal stances). And he’s a soft-mouthed toy mover, rather than a disemboweller, which is a kindness. Especially as he’s doing some trial and error by bring us the odd laundry ball and microfiber cloth, just to check.

He will be a lovely boy for someone.

Hippie (WW Hypnotized) ADOPTED
DOB: 3/1/2016
Cat Trainable – 
Yes

Hippie is a gentle and loving four year old petite girl who is retired from a long racing career (210 races!!!) She greets you happily with a wagging tail. She is calm and gentle with our young grandchildren (a toddler, preschooler and 2nd grader). She does well with our other greyhound and they walk nicely together. Hippie has shown only curiosity about our cat. She will follow the cat at his pace down the hall but has not chased him.

Hippie enjoys being with her humans yet is comfortable being in another room. Although she has a bed in our room, she has chosen to sleep at night in a room by herself. Some nights she and our greyhound are in the same room other nights in separate rooms.

Hippie is learning the house rules quickly. She does not get onto the furniture. Currently we are working on improving her door manners, waiting for permission to go down the front stairs, and to leave the kitchen while we are preparing meals. She seems to prefer soft yet firm correction commands.

She is somewhat food motivated but does not gulp down her food. She and our greyhound eat with a couple of feet of each other.
​
Hippie is a wonderful, loving dog. A fenced yard is required to adopt Hippie. The family who is approved as her furever home are the luckiest people ever!

​Hippie needs a home with a canine buddy.
