Additional Details:

Vista arrived recently from a farm in Florida. She was transported there from the Tri-State Race Track in WV. She raced only 7 races there and was only able to win one of those, so was retired young. She just turned 2 on June 7th. She is a tiny, fawn girl that raced at just 58lbs, but looks even smaller than that. Her sire is Hashtag Dangrite and her dam is Hashtag Xxntexas. Vista traveled well. She stood up and looked out the window some of the trip up from Florida, but laid down after awhile. She is a singer and likes to lead the other dogs in long roos. Vista is a little shy at first, mainly with men. She was pretty friendly with women and kids and came when called. She seems submissive, coming up pretty low to the ground with her tail wagging cautiously. She seemed submissive at first with other dogs too, not growling or correcting other dogs, even when they were bothering her. She passed her cat and small dog tests easily. She seemed afraid of the cat, but was very comfortable with the small white dog she met. She did panic on leash when something scared her and she tried to bolt away. She seems like she is pretty stressed at first in new situations, but she wants attention and should warm up fast. She also seemed to like the small kids she met. Vista was vetted at Emerald City Animal Hospital in Greenwood, SC. UPDATE!  Vista is available for adoption again after a very short time with her adoptive family, because she did chase the cat after she got over her fear of it. She was also having some fear responses and mixed messages when spending time with the other dogs in her home. Vista may do best in a quiet, calm home with a family with shy greyhound experience. Vista is in a foster home now and has done really well, even warming up to her foster dad slowly. She has been very good with the other dogs in her foster home and is especially drawn to their male greyhound, following him around. She has shown no interest in chasing their chickens either so seems to have a pretty low prey drive. She is a very sensitive girl that tends to panic and over react to new things. She will need a patient owner that will give her the time she needs to adjust.
