2010 Adoptions
Otto is one of two pups we got from an unplanned litter of greyhound puppies that couldn't be raced. He is outgoing and energetic and very sweet. His mom, Sara, is available for adoption too. Congratulations to the Clark family of Simpsonville on their new puppy! His Pedigree Update after adoption: Otto has been a wonderful puppy! He gets together to play with his littermate Miles a couple of times a week. Recently all of the littermates got together with their mother to run and play. The boys grew up to be very tall good looking guys. |

Dusty is a beautiful red female that just arrived from the JCKC Track in Florida. She raced there and at Seabrook. She got up to A level but only raced 37 races. Her sire is the famous Dodgem By Design and her dam is Red Hills Scream. She is a smaller girl racing at 56lbs. She was born on 12/30/06. Dusty passed her cat and small dog tests so should be fine to live in a home with either. Her foster home has decided to keep this pretty girl! |

Dara is a sweet, very outgoing girl. She is very friendly and seems to love everyone both young and old and will follow the kids around in her foster home. Dara is accustomed to her crate and crates quietly with no problems and even prefers to take her naps in there. She also loves to carry stuffed toys and socks into her crate and make a pile to snuggle in. Dara is small dog safe but has shown some interest in her foster home kitties when they run but her foster mom is working with her on leaving the kitties alone. Her sire is the famous Kiowa Sweet Trey and her dam is Yellow Daisy*. She raced 129 races at Naples Ft Myers and JCKC tracks. She wasn't a very good racer racing at lower levels at lower level tracks and rarely winning. If you want a sweet, friendly girl that will be great in just about any situation then Dara is the girl for you! |

This handsome black boy with gold eyes is available for adoption. Bear only has 5 races listed and finished at the back of the pack in all of them. He raced at Palm Beach and Naples Ft Myers before his owners decided to retire him. He looks brown in the pictures because he was in a run with access to the outside. He spent so much time outside that his coat got very sunbleached. He is a black dog though. His sire is Fine Silver and his dam is JR's Prelude who we also placed. Bear raced at 67lbs so is a smaller guy. DOB 7/17/2007. Update after adoption: Bear can be seen at many of the Charlotte area adoption events helping encourage greyhound adoption. He loves to travel with his dad and is busy keeping a couple of puppies in line.

Miles arrived with his mother Sara and his brother Otto when the pups were 5 weeks old. The pups were the result of an unplanned breeding so could not be raced. Their mother Sara had been retired for awhile and is also available for adoption through Greyhound Crossroads. We also recieved a 3rd littermate Kohle later that was also adopted through our group. His Pedigree Update after adoption: Miles has been a great pup. He is sweet and outgoing. He does greyhound adoption events to promote greyhound adoption and is a performer with the Hounds of East Fairhaven which is a group that promotes greyhound adoptions at the Georgia and Carolina Renaissance Festivals. Miles earned his Canine Good Citizen title at 8 months old and does agility and obedience. He grew up into a very tall handsome guy. He still gets together with his brother Otto to play regularily and occasionally plays with Kohle. We also placed a littermate sister of theirs Piper. His mother Sara passed away in Dec of 2013. |

Adrenaline is a wonderful boy. He grins as you can see in his photo. He snuggles and cuddles and is a real love bug. He is a little shy about loud noises and quick movements and seems more comfortable around women than men, but warms up quickly with a little patience. He is one of the few greyhounds I have ever met who loves to play fetch-bringing his squeaky toy back to you again and again. He hasn't done a single naughty thing in the house-no chewing-no accidents-no counter surfing-you would think he lived in a home all his life! And his greatest joy in life is snuggling up with his human. He loves the company of the other dogs-but would likely be fine as a single dog so he could have all your attention. Adrenaline does have a fractured metatarsal bone in his ankle that will be a chronic issue for him after hard exercise or running. He will need joint supplements and some type of pain management available the rest of his life. Right now he is on crate rest to stabilize that injury. Once he is done he should only be sore after really hard play and will always be able to join you on walks. He is a wonderful sweet boy just waiting for the perfect family.His Pedigree Update after adoption: His foster family decided to keep him and he is now living with his actual mother. |

Tequila is a sweet, happy, playful, older girl that was discovered wandering loose, starving and in horrible condition. She had been in an adoptive home for years but wasn't cared for and looked like she had even been attacked by another dog. This was one of the worst neglect cases we have seen. Tequila still looks pretty rough now and doesn't have much hair due to a skin condition that will require some baths a couple of times a week for awhile. We have made some progress already and soon Tequila will be back to her former beauty with some TLC. Tequila has great house manners and has fit into her foster home like she has always been there and enjoys playing with their greyhound. She is very friendly and is good with other dogs, cats and kids. Tequila is a good girl and is looking for a family that will love and appreciate her. She should be a wonderful easy addition to just about any family. Her sire is Flying Train and her dam is Marvelous Missy. She only has 2 races listed at the now closed Plainfield track. She was born on June 10th, 2000. Congratulations to her foster family that decided they couldn't let this one go! Update after adoption: Tequila has become a meet and greet dog for Greyhound Crossroads! She attends events encouraging people to adopt greyhounds. She lives in the country and loves taking walks with her dad. She has completely gotten over her skin condition and has a healthy full coat now with only a few scars to remind her of her past. She crossed the bridge on 10/11/13. |

Ron, Gem, and CJ are all housemates coming back to start over because of Economy returns. Ron is the sweetest, most affectionate of the three and also the funniest. He loves to lay down with his head on your lap, and we will nudge for more pets and love. He is comfortable being the unassertive 'bottom dog' of the three pack members. He loves to "go crazy" by himself in the back yard, running in random patterns around the back yard at full speed, then will stop, crouch down, scratch up some dirt, and take off again. Ron loves the young son in his home and has always done great with him from birth. He's a dog that is most comfortable with his routine, loves people and loves to get attention from humans. He also is a great leash walker. His greatest fear is thunder and will do best in a place where he can get lots of love and patience. Ron raced 31 races at JCKC. He is a smaller guy racing at 67lbs. His sire is Neiland and his dam is Husker Chicago. |

Chopin came to us from the Birmingham Race Course. He also raced a race at Southland in Arkansas. He is a pup of Dave the Dog who is a famous dog that retired and lives in our area. His dam is Tech Bomb. He was born on September 27th 2006. Chopin didn't race, long only 14 races are listed. Boy is this a handsome guy! Chopin is very outgoing and loves everyone he meets. He LOVES to go for rides and will hop right in and may even try to help you open the door. He seems like he is going to be a fun guy because he has loads of personality. He needs some work on his leash manners because he is very strong and very excited about seeing everything. Nothing seems to bother him, even new things. He takes everything in stride. This is one very happy go lucky guy. He does have a pretty strong prey drive and didn't pass his initial cat test. We need to do more testing with small dogs and kids. |

CJ raced at Jefferson County Kennel Club at 77lbs until retiring in 2005 at 3 years old. He was in one home for a few years then was an economy return and was adopted a second time by the Aguilar family in 2010 when he was 7 years old. CJ is an unusual light fawn color that is nearly white. He was a big, sweet, affectionate boy with a great, laid back personality and just loved people in general. He loved for anyone to scratch his big head and back, and even seemed to smile. His favorite part of the day is taking an evening walk. When he heared the leash rattle, he came running and started jumping up and down. He was the lead dog in the pack, but he was a gentle leader who rarely asserted himself. CJ also enjoyed playing with his stuffy toys, but only when one of his people played with him. He was a well-balanced and well-behaved boy who was a great family member. He was great with kids and small dogs but chasing cats was something he enjoyed just a little too much. Colby Joe crossed the bridge on Feb 25th 2013 suddenly of unknown causes |
