Greyhound Crossroads

Kordell came to us directly from the WV farm where he was born. He had an injury to his back when he was 3-4 months old. He got the injury when playing with other pups and his owner wasn't sure what actually happened. Kordell recovered, but his back has always looked a bit different - a little more bowed than most. But nothing even that noticeable. His owner knew he wouldn't be able to race, so he never went to training or to the race track. Kordell runs and plays and doesn't seem handicapped by his injury. Our vet says Kordell is healthy and his old injury is healed. Kordell is a very young guy that won't even turn 2 until May 31st. His sire is Top Of The Pile and his Dam is Fly Margorie G. Kordell has been a little nervous, as expected, with all the changes he has experienced since he left the farm. He is very loving though and seems like he is going to be a velcro dog. He wants to be with people and especially seems to love children, most of the time. Although Kordell normally seeks out attention from kids, he has gotten overwhelmed by too much attention a few times. He is being fostered with small kids in his foster home,  but he may do better in a home with older kids, that can understand that dogs sometimes need space. Kordell passed his initial cat test easily without any interest. He has been fostered with cats since and he has been more interested in them once he was more comfortable so does need some supervision with them at first. Kordell did well when meeting a small white dog. He was good with the other greyhounds in his foster home and seems like he needs another dog to hang out with when left. He barks and fusses when left completely alone. This is a great pup that is going to be a wonderful pet. He is a mid-sized guy that probably weighs around 65lbs, but needs to gain 5-10 lbs. His racing owner says he tends to stay on the thin side and can be hard to keep weight on. Kordell has gained confidence in his foster home and is settling in very well.
