Additional Details:

Scotty initially was adopted from the Birmingham Race Course Adoption Kennel 5 months ago. He had a long career of 214 races starting out in Birmingham, then moving to Wheeling WV and then back to Birmingham. He was the most successful racing in Birmingham, and raced a lot of his career there at the top A level. After he was adopted his family moved to Charlotte NC. Scotty was very friendly and confident in the kennel environment where he was comfortable with other greyhounds around. When he got home with his new family and was away from other greyhounds, he was terrified. He would stress almost constantly and never warmed up to them or their home unless a friend's greyhound came over. When another greyhound was around he was happy and acted normal. They hoped he would adjust and get better with time, but finally made the difficult decision to re-home Scotty so he could be in a home with another greyhound. Since Scotty has been in a foster home with other greyhounds his behavior is completely normal. He doesn't freak out about things and is a very calm, friendly guy with a waggy tail and happy disposition. Scotty seems like he is a sensitive guy that thrives on routine. He walks good on leash. He has lived with cats and seems fine with the small dogs he has met. He would be fine with visiting children, but we think living with fast moving and loud little kids is likely to make him nervous. He is a very sweet guy that just needs a home with other greyhounds where he can be comfortable. Scotty will turn 6 on September 14th. His sire is CTW Plaza Rio and his dam is Great Lee. Scotty is such a friendly, outgoing, happy, silly, guy when he is around other greyhounds. It is hard to imagine him as the shy, timid, fearful guy that his former family described.
