Additional Details:

Barry came in from the Orange Park Race Track in Jacksonville Florida. He made it to the track but never had an official race. He is a pretty timid, shy boy so he was retired before he really got started. Barry is very young and won't turn 2 until March 6th. His sire is Pat C Clement and his dam is GS Millie. He is a smaller guy that weighs 68lbs. Barry is a shy greyhound that is going to need a family with patience that will give him the weeks or months it will take to warm up to them. He is likely to be more of a home body that is too timid to enjoy going out to new places around a lot of people. Barry did pass his cat test, and was afraid of the cat. So far Barry is doing well in his foster home. He does cautiously follow his foster mom around and likes to be right behind her. He gets timid if she turns and looks directly at him but he does like to be petted and you can grab his collar without him running away so he doesn't seem to be as shy as we thought. He isn't brave enough to take treats out of her hand yet. He crates well but does make some noise when alone so wouldn't be a good apartment dog. For a young boy he is very calm. We think he will be a wonderful pet for his new family after he has a chance to warm up to them.
