He seems like a calm, sweet, well behaved boy. His birthday is May 22nd. His sire is Deerfield Site and his dam is Steffie's Charm. He was a pretty successful racer racing 211 races. He past his cat test and is living with a cat in his foster home and doing well with it. Speedo is a happy guy that can be just a little on the goofy side sometimes. He loves people. No his tongue is not abnormally long like it looks in his photos. It was just a very hot day when we were taking pictures of him. |

Kiki raced at 66lbs and her birthday is Feb 1st 2002. She is one of the most affectionate dogs to ever visit her foster home! She's one of those greyhounds that truly wants to be part of your life. She is the type of dog that people dream of, one that will follow you around from room to room and lay down calmly next to you to keep you company. She's completely clean in the house, crates immediately at the request to 'go to bed' and loves to get up and relax on the couch with you. A true couch potato. Kiki has the sweetest little long face and expressive ears that fold forward whenever she's excited about something. Her foster family has noticed her ability to pick up new commands very quickly and she is highly motivated to make her humans happy. Kiki has a bit too much prey drive to be considered safe with cats. Kiki has been in a home before and has excellent house manners. Unfortunately she was dumped at an animal shelter. We are lucky they called us so we could find her another home. She has been returned to the care of the excellent foster home who had her before she was adopted. Because she is a senior girl Kiki qualifies for a reduced adoption fee!! Kiki has a clean bill of health without any known problems from being a slightly-older girl.This is a great girl that comes already home acclimated. All she needs is a couch and someone to love her back. |

Amy is a friendly, sweet girl that is so pretty! She is really white with only a tiny black spots on the top of her head and a tiny one by her eye. Most of the speckles you see are black spots on her skin and just show through her white fur. She raced in Jacksonville at 61lbs and her sire is EM's Mac Attack. Her dam is Rooftop Grannie and her birthday is January 15th. Amy is cat trainable and is doing well with the small dog in her foster home. She has also done well with the grandchildren visiting her foster home. Amy walks great on leash and seems like a calm, well behaved girl. She likes to play with balls and was comfortable enough to start playing as soon as she arrived in her foster home so Amy seems like an outgoing girl that will adjust very well to new situations. |

Snowflake just retired from the Orlando track. She is a sweet, calm, black female that turns two on August 10th. She is a tiny girl racing at just 55lbs. We have been waiting on her to retire because she is a littermate to another dog we placed named Anderson Cooper. Her sire is Tony's Oracle and her dam is WMS Sprint Away. She is just a bit timid at first but warms up quickly. She is still very young so enjoys playing. She loves toys! Snowflake is quiet and well behaved and stops doing anything you don't want her to do with just a "No". She passed her cat and small dog tests at that track and has been great with the small dog and the child in her foster home. She is such a pretty girl with a gorgeous shiny coat! |

Tucker is a very light fawn male with light colored tips on his fur that the folks at the track referred to as "champagne colored". He is a tall guy that raced at 76lbs. His birthday is March 25th and he is 2 years old. He is a Kiowa Mon Manny Pup so is half brother to some other dogs we have adopted out. Tucker is a super friendly, happy boy that has a tail that wags most of the time. He gets so excited to see everyone and bounces happily which can be a little overwhelming for toddlers and younger kids. He likes kids but is a little too enthusiastic to see kids sometimes so we think he should live with older kids only. We are working on teaching calmer greetings. Tucker is very young at just two and greyhounds tend to mature slowly so he still has a lot of fun pup in him. He was very bad walking on leash when he arrived because he is strong, curious and wanted to check everything out. He is much better now but still needs some reminders when he gets excited. He has done great with the small dog in his foster home and others he has met so would probably do fine in a home with smaller pets. He also passed a couple of cat tests with no interest. Tucker is always happy and seems like he will make a fun pet for some lucky family. He is quiet in his crate and potties quickly on leash so may be OK in an apartment or townhouse. He is young and still pretty energetic so will need to go to a safely fenced area to run a couple times a week or he will need to go on walks or jogs to drain his energy if he doesn't have a fenced yard to play in. Tucker wants to please and readily offers behaviors trying to figure out what you want him to do. He already has learned lay down in his crate on command before being let out. He picked up on potty training right away. He really shines at meet and greets and goes up to each person that comes by giving kisses and leaning into them for love. If you want a happy, friendly, waggy, young boy this is the guy! RIght now his personality is more lab like than greyhound like. Such a sweet guy!! Tucker crossed the bridge due to bone cancer as a very young dog within a year of being adopted. |

Kia is a red brindle girl that actually grins when she is happy or excited. She is a tiny girl that raced at 55lbs and she just celebrated her 4th birthday on May 11th. We met her at the racing kennel in Orlando awhile back and just fell in love with her sweet, calm but friendly personality and that grin was just the most precious thing! We told them we wanted her when she retired. She is a Lonesome Cry daughter so half sister to a bunch of dogs we have placed. She did not pass her cat test at the track so will need a home without cats but she did fine in a foster home with a small white dog so should be OK living with small dogs. Kia seems to like her crate and goes in on her own and is very quiet in her crate. She also potties great on leash so may do well as an apartment or townhouse dog. She did great at a recent meet and greet with everyone she met but seemed to be most drawn to older women. She plays gently with toys mainly carrying them around. This is a sweet well behaved girl. |

Rocky is a tall male that raced at 76lbs. He is a gorgeous blue brindle that is just a little timid but just at first. He did great at his first Petco meet and greet and was approaching people for love. He seems to want to be near people but is just a little cautious at first. He is very young and won't even turn 2 until September 14th so he still has some puppyish behavior. Rocky seems like a pretty calm guy for one so young though. He is very curious about everything new but is learning his house manners. He seems like he would do well in an apartment or townhouse because he is very quiet in his crate and likes his crate. He us a super sweet guy! His sire is B's O'Grady and his dam is Scare De Cat. He passed his cat and small dog test with no interest so should be fine in a home with either. |
Added: July 16, 2012
Catfish is a tall, thin brindle boy that raced at 73lbs. He is all legs. He just retired from the Jacksonville track and is a sweet, calm, friendly, happy, boy. He needed a little work on leash because he pulled some but is already doing better. They said he was a calm, well behaved guy at the kennel and so far that is what his foster home has found. Catfish's sire is the very famous Kiowa Sweet Trey so he is related to a bunch of the dogs we have placed. They all seem to be exceptionally sweet. His dam is KB's Turbo Toes. Catfish will celebrate his 3rd birthday on August 1st. Hopefully he can celebrate his birthday in his new home. Catfish passed his cat test with absolutely no interest in the cat and ended up being OK with the guinea pigs in his foster home with a few reminders. He is living with a small baby in his foster home and seems to be fine with her too. This tall guy is just stunning and so sweet! His foster home has taken him jogging and he seems to enjoy that. He is starting to play with toys now and his playful side is really coming out. |

Town just arrived from the Wheeling track in West Virginia. He is an extra large male that raced at 83lbs. He was a very good racer and has a 101 races to his credit and raced at one of the top tracks. Town is friendly, calm and well behaved. This pretty red boy is a son of Flying Hydrogen who is a famous stud dog that one of our board members adopted. Seems like he inherited his dads wonderful sweet laid back personality and good looks. They couldn't be more alike. Town's birthday is April 20th and he is 4 years old. Town has been settling in to his foster home with no problems whatsoever. He crates willingly and quitely and is so well behaved. He passed his cat test with only a quick sniff so should be fine living with cats and small dogs. Town is a typical lazy laid back guy that naps a good part of the day. Doesn't seem to be bothered or annoyed by anything and gets along well with others. |

Melody is a 56lb blue female that just arrived from Orlando. She was brought in especially for one of our foster families that had been waiting on her to retire. She is a sweet friendly girl that seems very outgoing and social. She is calm and sweet and seems like she will be an easy girl that will not cause any trouble. So far she has been very well behaved in her foster home and if she continues fitting in so well she will definitely be staying. Melody turns 3 on August 12th and her Sire is the famous Trent Lee. |
Added: July 2, 2012

She just arrived from the Jacksonville race track and was picked out by her new family. She is supposed to be a calm, sweet, friendly girl. |
Added: July 16, 2012
Nitro just arrived. She was a return that was adopted through another group years ago. She was returned due to a divorce and not for any behavioral reasons. She is home acclimated, calm and well behaved so should make a wonderful pet. She lived with small kids and other pets in her former home so should be fine in a home with either. Nitro just turned 7 on May 29th. She is a daughter of the famous Flying Penske so is a half sibling to quite a few dogs we have adopted out. She just had a fresh dental and is ready for her new home. |

McKinly raced at 71lbs and is a gorgeous white boy with big black spots. His birthday is July 11 and he will turn 3 then. He recently retired from the Sanford Orlando Race Track. His trainer described him as very friendly and calm. He is a Jimbo Scotty pup so is a half brother to quite a few nice dogs we have adopted out. McKinly is adjusting very well to foster care and is a quiet, sweet loving boy that is very laid back. He is good with other greyhounds and passed his cat and small dog test so should be good to live with either. He is great on leash too. Seems like this guy is going likely to be a wonderful easy addition to just about any home. He has been wonderful in his foster home and is very well behaved. Great with the 4 kids in his foster home. |

T raced in Orlando. He was actually a pet there that hadn't raced in over a year and had been living with his race trainer. Because of an illness in her family and serious financial problems she was forced to give T up. T is a sweet, friendly, red guy that raced at a very large 82lbs. His birthday is July 6 2007 so he is almost 5. He is a very special guy for a trainer to pick him out of all the dogs that come through the track kennels to keep as a pet. His sire is Flying Hydrogen who one of our board members just adopted so the lucky family that gets T will be able to meet his dad too!! He is a sweet, laid back, well behaved boy that is gentle and wonderful with kids and would be excellent in a home with small dogs since he has lived with them before. He is friendly and gets along with everyone. He passed his cat test at the track but has shown some interest in cats he has met but we think he may be trainable. This is a great guy that is SO sweet!! |

Stimulus is a very large, dark brindle male that raced at 80lbs. He has the most beautiful, shiny, dark mahogany looking coat and is just stunning with his white feet and chest. He is a calm but friendly boy that just celebrated his 3rd birthday on April 4th. His sire is the famous Dodgem By Design so he has a lot of half brothers and sisters that we have adopted out. He is a littermate to another dog we just adopted out named Eureka. Stimulus let himself out of his run to join his sister Eureka at the vet clinic. He was out all night with the vet clinic cat and didn't chase him or hurt him. He passed his cat test at the track and subsequent cat tests that we have done. In the middle of all of these very positive results with cats he did become interested in chasing cats he met in one home. It was only that one time and was definitely because he had gotten excited by chasing toys right before being introduced to the cats. We have him listed as "trainable" because of that even though he has shown no interest whatsoever in cats before or since. Stimulus did great at a meet and greet at Petco and seemed to enjoy all the attention. He has started playing with toys in his foster home and will throw them and chase them. He lives with a tiny dog that is squirrel sized and fast moving in his current foster home so seems like an exceptionally low prey drive dog that would be good in any home. He likes the kids he has met and seems like he would be a wonderful family dog. He is a big guy but he is gentle, calm and well behaved so seems like he will be an easy guy that would make a wonderful family pet. He has been living with a very small dog and a large bird in his foster home and is fine with both of them now. |

Hot Dog came from the track adoption kennel in Jacksonville Florida and he raced at 67lbs. This is a friendly, happy, calm boy that has been very well behaved since he arrived in his foster home. He is a grinner and will happily grin up at you when happy or excited. He is a gorgeous black male with white socks and a white chest. Very flashy! Hot Dog was born Nov 17th 2005. He was a very successful racer that won a lot of races and raced a long time. He crates well and quietly so might be OK as an apartment or townhouse dog. His foster mom was sick recently and he layed right by her side the entire time watching over her. He is just so sweet! He is very good with children.This is a dog that was suggested to us as one that would be a good family dog because he has been around the children of his racing trainer often and was very good with them. Even though he is calm he does have a silly side and is likely to play bow to you trying to get you to play with him. The play only lasts for a little while because Hot Dog is a typical greyhound couch potoato. Hot Dog needs a home without cats. He has been fine with the small to medium sized dogs he has met at meet and greets. He loves to play with other dogs though so might do better in a home without very tiny dogs just because he might accidentally step on one when playing. Typically our non cat friendly dogs take months longer to adopt than our cat friendly ones. If you do not have cats please consider adopting one of our sweet non cat safe dogs like Hot Dog. |

Gavin is a gorgeous guy that turned 3 on Nov 4th. He raced at 76lbs. He is doing well in his foster home with the small dogs and cats there so would be excellent for a home with small animals. Gavin loves playing with toys and the other dogs in his foster home. Although he is very shy, he warmed up to his foster family quickly and is very loving with his foster family. His trainers at the racing kennels said that he became very affectionate once he got to know them too and was only very shy initially. We think that a home without young, noisy children would be better for Gavin because of his shyness. It is only because of his shyness, Gavin is such a sensitive, gentle guy that we are sure he would never harm anyone or anything. While he has warmed up to his foster family quickly, he still tends to run away from visitors and people he doesn't know, so a quiet home without a lot of visitors and activity would probably suit him best. Gavin is likely to always be a real homebody that will be nervous out of his comfort zone. New things just make him very nervous. Because timid dogs tend to bolt when scared Gavin's ideal home would have a safely fenced yard for him to play in. Gavin's shyness is caused by not being handled by new people and exposed to new things as a puppy during that brief socialization window. He was never abused in any way and actually was very attached to his trainers. Gavin wants his family to know that even if he gets nervous and runs away the first time he meets them, he has a lot of love to give if they will just give him a little time to come out of his shell. Gavin is SUCH a sweet, loveable guy and is just gorgeous. If you have patience and a little time Gavin will reward you with all of his love. This is such a sweet, gorgeous, well behaved boy! Be sure to click on his other pictures. He is very photogenic and his foster home has taken lots of pictures of him. |

At her most recent racing kennel they called her Gazelle, but at a previous racing kennel at another track they called her Monica. We will have to see which name she seems to know. She is a small girl that raced at 57lbs. She turned 3 on April 18th and is a brindle female that just retired from the Orlando race track because of a minor muscle pull which is completely healed now. While she was at the vet she got a leg caught in a dog run and had to have some additional stitches so is recovering from another injury now. She is not limping from her most recent injury but does have a small open spot on her leg that was not able to be stitched so that has to be healed over before she can be adopted. Monica is outgoing, sweet, and cute with enough playful energy to keep up with an active family. Kissy sounds and any attention at all will send her into wiggles of pure joy! This is a tiny little girl that LOVES everyone she meets! She is a Deerfield Site daughter. Here is an old photo that was taken of her last year at the track. New photos coming soon!! |

Toy just celebrated his 2nd birthday on March 7th. He is a brindle male with gorgeous golden eyes that raced at 76lbs. His Sire is Heart Rumble. He passed his cat and small dog tests at the Orlando track and has been fostered with a cat that he is fine with. Toy seems like he is just a bit shy at first but is one that will warm up fast. He has done well at meet and greets and is warming up. He seems to be fine with the kids that have been around him at meet and greets although he doesn't have children in his foster home. So far he has been a very good boy that will make an awesome pet. |

Molly is a gorgeous, red girl that is very friendly. Her sire is Gable Tobasco and her Dam is Bee Bee. Molly will celebrate her 4th birthday on June 23rd. She is a very tiny petite girl. Her trainers said she was sweet and well behaved at the track and she has been that way in foster care as well. Molly is good on leash and rarely pulls. She is sweet and friendly and always greets you with a wagging tail and is happy to see you even if she barely knows you. She is great at meet and greets calmly going from one person to another to greet them. At a recent meet and greet she curled up with her head on her foster dad's lap and went to sleep. This was at a very noisy convention center with a lot going on around her. She seems like she will be pretty comfortable in just about any situation. She has gotten along well with the other dogs in her foster home and seems to just have a sweet happy go lucky personality. This is one stunning girl too! She was too interested in chasing the cat to pass her cat test but has been OK with small dogs in two foster homes. Molly doesn't potty on leash well so must have a home with a fenced yard to potty in. She just needs a little privacy to do her business and needs to walk around a bit to find the perfect spot. This is a super sweet girl that will be a great pet. Because she is not cat safe Molly has been in foster care longer than others which is typical. If you don't have cats in your home please consider adopting one our non cat friendly dogs like Molly. |

Squirrel just arrived and is a white boy with a little brindle on his ears and two brindle patches on his back that look almost like wings. He is friendly, calm and sweet according to his trainers at the track. He will celebrate his 3rd birthday on May 20th. He ended up passing his cat test at the track on the second try but was interested in the cat the first time they met so we have him listed as cat trainable. Squirrel's sire is CTW Plaza Rio and he raced at 77lbs. Squirrel's foster family has fallen in love with him and decided to adopt him. Squirrely was a member of the Hounds of East Fairhaven and performed at the Georgia and Carolina Renaissance Festivals. He was taken from us too young when he got hit by a bolt of lighting that hit his house during a bad storm. He will be missed by all his fans. |

Adin is a small brindle female that raced at 57lbs. She passed her cat test at the track and has paid no attention to the cats or small dogs she has met since she arrived. The small dog in her foster home loves her and goes into her crate to lay beside her. She turns 4 on June 18th. Her sire is the famous Flying Stanley which makes her a half sister to quite a few sweet dogs that we have placed. Adin is happy, sweet and very outgoing and seems like she will be an energetic, fun greyhound. "Energetic" for a greyhound still is just short bursts of playfulness - just enough to be fun and cute. Greyhounds are really low energy couch potatoes. Adin is smart and level headed and has picked up potty training right away. She pulls some on leash in her happiness to see things and visit with everyone so we will be working on that. So far she has adjusted to her foster home quickly and has been the BEST foster! She gets along great with the other dogs, had no accidents inside, and has started playing with stuffed animals. Nothing seems to bother her and she does great at meet and greets and greets everyone happily. |

Nadia Comaneci is named for a very famous gymnast and was a good racer herself. She raced stakes races against some famous dogs like Pat the Hammer - a dog that we placed. Her birthday is September 22 2007 and her sire is Lonesome Cry. She raced at 68lbs so is a larger girl. Nadia has quickly settled in to life as a foster. She is a sweet happy friendly girl and is quickly becoming a favorite of her foster family. She loves toys especially stuffed animals that have squeakies in them. Nadia has crated quietly and has been very well behaved in the house and with the other dogs. She passed her cat and small dog tests so should be fine in a home with either and has been good with the children that she has met. Seems like a great little girl that would do great in just about any situation. |

Ally is really large racing at a very unusual (for a girl) 75lbs. That is considered pretty large even for a male. She is just a little timid initially but seems like she will warm up with time. She is friendly and wags but tends to get a little freaked out by fast movements and loud noises. Alibi seems to be a little more nervous around men than women at first. She will turn 4 on September 24th. Ally has the same mother as one of our recently adopted dogs, Intern, and her sire is the famous Flying Stanley which makes her a half sister quite a few dogs we have placed. She is doing great in her foster home and other than being a little nervous at first seems like she will be a great girl. |

Potzy raced in Florida at just 66lbs so he is a smaller male. He was a pretty successful racer that raced until nearly his 4th birthday, which was on October 7th. Potzy is very cute, mostly white with a few brindle patches and some freckles in his white fur. Potzy passed his cat test but was a little interested in the cat at first so will need some supervision with new cats at first. He passed his small dog test and is living in a foster home with dogs and cats. He is a friendly, happy guy that is very devoted to people and wants to be with his family doing whatever they are doing. He isn't shy or nervous and is very outgoing and loving. Potzy has great house manners and picked up on potty training without a problem. Potzy doesn't like his crate much and is vocal when left in one so would not be the best choice for an apartment or townhouse. He has been quiet and well behaved when left out of crate, even by himself. |

Cheyenne is a beautiful, brindle female that raced at 60lbs. She was born on June 8th 2008 so is 3.5 years old. Cheyenne is another daughter of the famous Dodgem By Design. She is a very sweet, friendly, loving girl. Cheyenne quickly became a very well behaved member of her foster home's pack. She is very bright and learns new tricks and routines with ease. She crates quietly and doesn't whine or bark in her crate so may be OK in an apartment or townhouse. Cheyenne is not a total couch potato like some greyhounds and does have enough energy to be a fun, playful girl that will want to do whatever you are doing. Because she learns quickly and wants to please and has some energy we think she would be a great greyhound for agility or obedience or maybe someone that hikes, walks or jogs. She would do great with another dog that wanted a playmate. She is such a loving, happy girl and likes kids so should make a great family dog. Because of her higher prey drive Cheyenne is not going to be safe with cats. She does respond to correction and really wants to please her humans in all things so might be trainable but we chose to list her as no cats just to be safe. During her time in foster care we have been introducing her to a variety of small dogs and she seems like she is going to be OK with them and she played very nicely with a sheltie. We will be glad to introduce her to any small pets you have and evaluate her with them. Cheyenne has been with us in foster care longer than any other foster at this time (since Nov 2011) only because she is not cat friendly. Our non cat safe dogs tend to take much longer to place even when they are sweet, gorgeous and very well behaved like Cheyenne. If you don't have cats please consider adopting one of our non cat safe dogs like Cheyenne. |

Jojo is a cute little girl that raced at just 55lbs. Her sire is Tony's Oracle. She was born on 10/1/09. She is mostly white with some black freckles in her fur and a couple of black patches over her ears and eyes. She is waggy and happy and her cute curly tail may end up being a blur in some of her photos. Jojo is a great girl that gets along well with people, other dogs and kids. She is young so is still pretty active and loves to play with other dogs. She passed her initial cat tests but has been interested in chasing some of the cats in her foster home so she would need to be tested with individual cats in whatever home she was going to. Cats with claws that are used to dogs and let the dog know who is boss seem to be respected but ones that run away and are afraid are a little too fun to resist chasing. |

Hit is a happy, waggy girl that is calm and well behaved. She loves kids and raced in a kennel that had small kids in it frequently and was great with them. She raced at 60lbs. Hit celebrated her 4th birthday on March 6th. Her sire is the famous Lonesome Cry! Hit is a loving little girl that seems like she will make a great pet because of her calm, easy going personality. She passed her cat test at the track but has been a little interested in some of the cats she has seen since. She seems to respond well to correction so we think she is trainable and will be glad to evaluate her with your specific cats. She is good with small and large dogs so should be fine in a home with other dogs. Hit did have a broken hock October 9th of 2010 that ended her racing career. She has completely healed since then but may always have a slight limp. She stilll loves to run and play and doesn't let the old break slow her down a bit. This cutie can still turn on the greyhound speed when she wants to. This is a wonderful little girl that is very well behaved and is going to be a wonderful loving pet for some very lucky family. |

Cooper is a sweet, black male that is very young. He won't even turn two until August 10th. He is a smaller guy that raced at 64lbs. He did pass his cat test at the track and has shown no interest in a small white dog he met. He seems like a quiet boy that is a bit overwhelmed and might be just a little shy at first. He was friendly at the track kennel so he will definitely warm up though. His sire is Tony's Oracle so he is related to quite a few sweet dogs that we have placed. His trainers said he was a real nice boy in the track kennel and was well behaved. More as we get to know him. |

Eureka is a beautiful dark brindle female that raced at 62lbs. She just turned 3 on April 4th. She is a happy, sweet, friendly girl that has made herself very comfortable in her foster home in just a short time. She seems like she will be laid back and well behaved. She is a daughter of the famous Dodgem By Design and is a littermate to another of our available dogs Stimulus. She is smart girl and managed to open the latch to her dog run at the vets office and got out to hang out with her brother Stimulus (who also escaped) and the clinic cat. The three of them were out together all night and the cat was unharmed so she definitely passed that cat test. She has paid no attention to the tiny dog in her foster home either but she did manage to get out of her crate one time so may be a bit of a houdini. This is such a cute sweet girl with the biggest, most expressive eyes. |

Respect is a cute, sweet, black girl. She was born on Dec 11th and is 4 years old. She raced at 66lbs and raced over a hundred races and did pretty well. Respect is very friendly and gives kisses and is a real "people dog". She traveled with her head on the driver's shoulder on part of the trip up from the track. A very social, loving girl and so beautiful! Respect passed her cat test so should be OK to live with cats and is living with small dogs in her foster home. Respect prefers to be with people over other dogs so we think she would do fine as an only dog. She does play well with the two males in her foster home though. She has already learned to sit and down on command for treats. She also waits at the door before going out and waits patiently for her food at feeding time. She is a great eater and has no problem going into the crate. She has been quiet all night and is quick to do her business when she goes out and will potty on leash with no problem so might even be a good apartment dog. Respect seems great with handling and allowed her nails to be trimmed with no drama. Anyone looking for a calm, sweetheart of a dog should definitely meet Respect. What a cute cute little face!! Respect had a dominant female that was not fond of her although she has gotten along with two males in her foster home. So she may need a home without other dominant females. Â |

Sally is a small red girl that raced at just 56lbs. She was a successful racer and raced for a long time. She turned 4 on March 7th. Sally passed her test with small dogs so should be fine living with them but was too interested in chasing the cats to pass her cat test. She just needs a home without cats. Sally has done great with children she has met and is a real sweet, loving girl that is going to make a wonderful pet. Sally is a TV star and was a guest recently on the noon news on channel 6. Look at her other photos to see her on TV! Sally is healthy and has been spayed and is ready for her new family. It looks like her foster family has fallen in love with Sally and she will be staying with them. |

Intern is a beautiful red and white girl that raced for quite awhile then was retired to be a momma dog. She had a litter but has some problems having them and had to be spayed. Now Intern is retired from that life and ready for a couch of her own. Her birthday is August 11th. She is 5 years old and is a very sweet friendly girl. She travels well and gets along very well with other dogs. So far she has been fine with the tiny fast moving dog in her foster home and wouldn't even look at cats during her cat test. Her dad is the famous Kiowa Sweet Trey that always seems to throw very nice dogs. So far she is doing very well in foster care and plays with the other dogs there. |

She actually whacks herself in the ribs with her tail sometimes when she gets really happy.

She is has a lot of personality and is a fun girl. With that cute face and great personalilty we think she is awfully close to perfect. |

Tawnie went to the the track but only ran three maiden races before deciding she would prefer to be a pet. She is a much better pet than she was a racer and has reached the professional pet level. Tawnie is an exceptionally sweet, laid back girl that is has already been in a home for most of her life. She has good house manners and was returned to us due to financial reasons and not because of anything she did wrong. She is a sweet girl that loves adults and children. Tawny is cat tolerant and has lived with cats before. She has also lived with small dogs in her previous home and even is living with very small puppies in her foster home and is good with them and their mother. This is a great girl that seems to be great with anything and everything and what a beauty she is, with her spots AND stripes! That sweet face is hard to resist! She is a grand daughter of the famous Oswald Cobblepot. |

Simon is a beautiful small white boy with freckles called ticking. He raced at just 64lbs so is very small. He is friendly and happy and loves everyone he meets. He gives kisses and grins when he is happy. His birthday is February 22nd. On Easter Sunday he played in the yard with several small children and did great with them and seemed to really enjoy it. His foster mom says even though he has just arrived he is making himself at home and seems like a wonderful guy already. More as we get to know him. |

Joanie is a tiny little girl that never made it into a real race. She got to the track at Jacksonville but failed out of schooling because she ran too close to the rail and kept hitting it with her toes. What a cute, sweet little girl! She is young and won't be two until May 10th 2012. Her sire is Maryville Rumble. She was just a little timid when she first arrived but loves people and is waggy and happy. When you call her a "pretty little girl" her tail will go in a big circle. She loves playing with toys and likes to play tug. She has had no accidents in her foster home and is very well behaved. She is a natural sitter too. Joanie passed her cat and small dog test so should be fine with small animals. She gets along well with other dogs of all sizes. Joanie also loves children and is doing great with the 5 year old in her foster home. She has made a little noise in her crate so may not be the best apartment dog. Her foster home says that she is the most loveable, laid back little girl that will steal anyone's heart that meets her. |

Fury is a recent Economy Return. Fury was returned for financial reasons a couple of years ago too but bad luck has struck this older gentleman again. Fury is a great pet and already home acclimated and the returns had nothing to do with his behavior because he couldn't be more perfect. Fury is a son of the very famous Fortress and is a gorgeous, tall, red, 10 year old guy. He was quite the racer and won many races and was a real star back in the day. He was his racing owner's favorite dog and his best racer. Those days are over though and Fury prefers lounging on the the couch or bed now and doesn't do much running around anymore. He is very laid back, calm and well behaved. Fury passed his cat test and has been living with a small dog in his foster home and is very good with him. We think Fury would do best in a home with other dogs to hang out with. He has never been an only dog before and enjoys the company of others. Fury has been checked out by our vet, received a dental and is healthy and ready for his new home. Fury had to have all but two of his teeth removed when we got him back because of painful infection and rotten teeth so he will need his food softened. But on the bright side he won't need his teeth brushed or expensive dentals! Because Fury is over 8 years old he qualifies for our reduced adoption fee of $200. Thanks to CrazyCollars for donating another $75 towards Fury's adoption fee which brings his total adoption fee to only $125! |

Amanda is a recent Economy Return. This is her second round of bad luck. She was returned by another family in 2010 for the same reason. Amanda is a tiny, sweet brindle girl that turned 8 on Christmas day. Her sire is the famous Castor Troy and her dam is CC's Debbie Lynn. She is a smaller girl that raced at 58lbs. Amanda lived with children and a small dog in previous homes so would do fine in a home with either. She also passed her cat test. Amanda is sweet, loving and very friendly. She loves to snuggle and rest her head in your lap. She is calm and has been perfectly behaved in in her foster home. We think she would make a nice Therapy Dog because she has such a calm, quiet, but friendly personality and is so well behaved. Amanda is a star at our meet and greets. Her foster mom always dresses her up in fancy collars, coats, bling and occasionally even a hat. Amanda loves it and loves the attention she gets when she is all dressed up. She is so beautiful and looks SO young without much white on her face. No one would dream that she is 8 years old. Because she is 8 years old she qualifies for our reduced senior adoption fee of $200. Thanks to CrazyCollars for donating another $75 towards Amanda's adoption fee which brings her total adoption fee to only $125! |

Fancy is a cute little girl that raced at 61lbs. Her birthday is August 2nd and she is a daughter of the famous Dodgem By Design. Fancy is already home acclimated and has been living in her racing owner's home since she retired in October. Her racing owner already has a number of pet greyhounds so is not able to keep Fancy, even though she would like to. Fancy has great house manners and is very well behaved. She will give a quick bark if she needs to go out to potty and another at the door to let you know she is done and ready to come back in. She LOVES people and will stick close to you if she is awake. She will put her front legs and chest in your lap on a chair to snuggle with you. So far she has not gotten up on furniture though except for this, but we are pretty sure she would with a little encouragement. Fancy loves to play outside and will play with toys outside and entertain herself even if no humans or dogs want to play with her. She seems to really like playing with balls. She was living with quite a few other large dogs of different breeds and gets along great with males and other females. She has even done great with the small 13lb Italian Greyhound in her foster home. She also passed her cat test and even seemed to like the cat as she rubbed up against it - until it smacked her for it. Then she decided it was best not to be too friendly with cats. She is more focused on interacting with the humans than playing with the other dogs so might be OK as an only dog too. Fancy crates well and is quiet in her crate except for a little whining at meal times. |

Broadford is a gorgeous red girl that raced at 68lbs. Her birthday is June 8th and she is another daughter of the famous Dodgem By Design. She retired a little over a month ago and has been good from the start in her foster home. It is almost like she has lived in a home at some point before. She seems like a calm, laid back girl that loves her dog beds and attention from people the most. Broadford is a friendly, happy girl. So far she has done great with a number of other dogs in the home of different breeds and even a small Italian Greyhound. She passed her cat and small dog test without interest in either so should be good in a home with either. She will play bow and pounce down into almost a down and try to get you to play with her. She is so cute and sweet. She can hold it for a long time in the crate and really tries to stay clean. She potties on leash so may be OK without a fenced yard |

Dash is a red male that just arrived from the track in Orlando. He is a sweet, very calm, guy that never caused any trouble at the track according to his trainers. They felt he would be a very easy, sweet dog for just about anyone. He is a mid sized male and weighed 71lbs at the vet. His birthday is Sept 7 2008. So far Dash has been very quiet and very calm at his foster home. He doesn't make a peep in his crate and sleeps thought the night. He seems to walk pretty good on leash already and didn't have any trouble the first time he tried steps. He passed his cat and small dog test with flying colors too. He loves people and was a big hit at his first meet and greet calmly going up to each person and leaning into them wanting to snuggle. He never got nervous or excited even in the busy Expo center with all the people, noises and things going on. He just kept greeting each person as if it was his job. He was very gentle with kids and really seemed to like them. If you want a handsome, very laid back guy Dash may be the one for you. He is one of the more laid back 3 year olds we have met. |

Kimmie is a brood that just arrived from a greyhound breeding faciliity in the Jacksonville Fl area. She is a daughter of the famous Dodgem By Design and is 7 years old. DOB June 24, 2004. She raced at 62 lbs and is a beautiful, brindle girl that doesn't look her age and doesn't have much white on her face yet. For whatever reason she didn't actually ever end up having puppies and didn't actually have much of a racing career either because of a broken hock early in her career. The hock is totally healed and you can't even see where it was broken now. She is very friendly, happy and loving with people. Kimmie passed her cat and small dog testing and has been fine with a small dog in her foster home after an initial sniff. She loves to play with stuffed toys that squeak and stole stuffed toy football of the shelf at Petco and laid on a bed squeaking it and playing with it for much of the day. She was a huge hit at her first meet and greet at Petco going up to kids and grownups for love. She is a confident girl that wasn't phased in the least by all the people, dogs and attention. She is a fun girl that would be another that would probably excel as a Therapy Dog. |

Dorothy was a successful racer and was sent back to the farm for a second career as a mom. She did not have any puppies though and has now been retired and is ready to find a home and a couch. She is a sweet, outgoing, friendly, girl that seems to take everything happily in stride. Dorothy loves to give sweet kisses and is very gentle taking food from your hand. She travels well and seems to do very well with other dogs. Dorothy passed her cat and small dog tests and is living with cats in her foster home so would be fine for a house with cats or small dogs. She also seems to like children and seems like the type of dog that would be excellent in a home with kids. Dorothy likes to snuggle and adapted to her foster home like she had always lived in one. Nothing seems to bother her. Dorothy wants to be with people and is content to just lay at your feet. She doesn't have much white on her face and definitely doesn't look her age or even act her age. Dorothy was born on Feb 7th of 2003 and is a daughter of the famous Craigie Whistler. She is a super sweet, girl that has a lot of personality and a lot of love to give a lucky family. |

Favorite is gorgeous! Tall, dark and handsome with a shiny, black coat. He raced at 77lbs and retired from the Orlando Track. Favorite's birthday is 10/1/09 so he is young, just 2 years old. He is happy, playful, friendly and loves everyone he meets. He didn't pass his first cat test but did pass his second. He does respond to correction so we think he will be trainable with cats and we will be glad to introduce him to your specific cat since he had mixed results with his first two tests. He was fine living with a small Italian Greyhound in his foster home and seems like the type that will get along well with other dogs male or female. He was too interested in chasing a fuzzy pomerianian he met though so my not do well with very small fuzzy dogs. Favorite has discovered toys and loves to play with them - maybe a little too much sometimes. He seems like a fun guy that will be an easy first or 4th greyhound. Favorite was sired by Tony's Oracle. He pulls on leash when excited and needs reminders sometimes. |

Kareem has been in a home before so is home acclimated and has good house manners. He has lived with cats and small dogs and is fine with them. He is a friendly, loving guy and very sweet. He is a smaller guy that raced at just 69lbs. Kareem's birthday is December 12th. Kareem's only negative is that he is very food motivated and has shown some possessiveness over his food occasionally. We are working on that with him. Because of that we think he would do better in a home with no children even though he has lived with children and has always been gentle with them. Kareem is such a gorgeous guy! |

Georgia is an 8 year old brindle girl with black ears and tail. Her birthday is July 10th. She is friendly, waggy and very loving with her family but can be a little timid out in public and with people she has never met. She is quiet, well-behaved, clean in the house, and crates willingly with 'let's go to bed'. Georgia loves to play with toys and is great on stairs. So far she hasn't tried to get up on the furniture and just comes over and puts her head in your lap and lays on dog beds near you. Georgia was living in a home with 4 little boys and was great with the older ones but was not comfortable with the 3 year old or a baby. She needs a home with well behaved older kids or no children. She gets along well with other dogs small and large and has lived with a cat in her foster home and a puppy. Georgia seems like she would do well with other animals or as an only dog. She is healthy and has been vetted and is ready to go home. Her foster home says they can't say enough good things about her. The older dogs that have already been in a home before are the easiest to foster and often the hardest to let go. Because of her senior status Georgia qualifies for a reduced adoption fee of $200. |

Inez just arrived from the track in Florida. She is a small girl that raced at 56lbs. She has the same mother as one of the other sweet girls we have adopted out and we bet that she will be just as sweet as her half sister. She is 4 years old and was born on Oct 17, 2007. She passed her cat and small dog tests at the track so should be able to live with either. She is curious about small animals at first meeting but just needs some supervision and a sniff and seems to lose interest in them quickly. She is a friendly, happy girl that doesn't seem to know a stranger. A cute lighter red girl with some dark fur on her face. She likes to play with other dogs and will pounce up to them and bounce around trying to get them to play with her. Seems like she is going to be a very fun girl. She has been a little loud when left alone in a crate so probably wouldn't be a good dog for apartment or townhouse living. |
