He is friendly and likes everyone. He is a big tall guy. He has not been tested with cats or small dogs yet but gets along well with other medium and large sized dogs. He has not been around small kids, but does like older kids. This boy is a total hunk of love!

Marshall is an Australian guy that never raced. He was born on January 6th of 2024 so is just 2 years old. He is a beautiful dark almost brown and black brindle and is one of the tiniest males we have placed at only 57lbs. His foster family calls him Marshall because like a US Marshall he investigates everything. He is sweet and curious and likes older kids, other large dogs, being outside and running around. He is very food motivated but doesn't like other dogs to bother him when eating. He crates well and is used to being fed in his kennel. Marshall is young, playful and energetic. A fun, happy guy that is friendly and sweet. What a cute patient guy to pose with glasses on!

Pet/Kennel Name:
Buster
Age:
4 in April
Color/Gender:
Black Male
Cat Tolerance:
No
Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:
Yes
Fostered by (location):
Broquet (Woodruff, SC)
Adoption Status: Adopted by the Broquet family of Woodruff, SC 3.27.26

Buster just arrived from Australia. He only raced 7 races there and won 2 of them. His last race was December 4th 2023. He raced at 79lbs and is a tall, handsome, guy with a beautiful shiny coat. His sire is Dyna Double One and his dam is Lilac Izmir. He was born on April 16th of 2022. Buster is full of fun and loves to play with humans and other dogs. In Australia he lived with two retired greyhounds, a whippet and a Jack Russell and was very good with them. He is very social with other dogs and gets along with everyone. Buster was already home acclimated in Australia and was house trained there and had good house manners so he should be an easy addition to his new home. Whether it is a game of fetch, a run on leash, or just hanging out at home, Buster is is ready for anything. He does well traveling too. He was too interested in the cat to be able to live with them. We were able to redirect him some, but we would prefer a home with no kitties. Buster hasn't had long term exposure to kids although he really liked the kids he met. If you are looking for an outgoing, loving, playful dog, Buster is your guy!

Old Mate Martha
Pet/Kennel Name:
Martha
Age:
2.5
Color/Gender:
Black Female

Fostered by (location):
Thompson, Hendersonville NC
Adoption Status: Pending to the Thompson Family of Hendersonville NC

Martha is arriving soon from Australia. She only ran one race at the Dubbo Stadium and finished last. Martha was not cut out for the racing life, she’s too much of a detective! She likes to take her time, explore her surroundings, sniffing around until she gets the full picture and low-down on everything that’s going on! She is always eager to know what’s happening and learn new things. Her DOB is 8/26/21. Martha's sire is the famous Fernando Bale and her dam is Karen Keeping. Her ear tattoo is NKEMT. She was fully vetted before arrival in Australia. Martha (a.k.a. Mad Martha!) is a young, energetic and playful girl with a very sweet nature! She is a happy and confident dog who just adores her humans! In spite of her confidence, Martha can be a little shy around new people at first, but will still accept a pat on the head until she gets to know you- then she wants full on cuddles! Martha is used to being around other Greyhounds, she also has had positive interactions with some smaller breeds. Martha recently met some smallies through a fence and after a quick sniff and hello, she was happy to move on and focus on something else. You don’t make friends for life by coming on too strong! Martha is a dog that just exudes positive energy. She is happy and curious and will only grow in confidence the more she gets to know her new humans. Martha is a wonderful dog who would make a great addition in any home that has the love and patience that she deserves. She is a detective that can’t wait to discover her new family!

So far Martha has been pretty shy and overwhelmed since she arrived, not wanting to come out of her kennel. Once out she does walk nicely on leash and will approach adults and older kids, but seemed more nervous around a toddler. She has not wanted to be sniffed or approached by any other dogs large or small. She showed some interest in the cat until it slapped her then she backed off. She did go back to see the cat later, so was still showing some interest. We think she may be trainable with cats with more supervision. She is supposed to be good with other dogs, so we think she is just a sensitive girl that needs some time to relax around strange dogs.

Color/Gender:
Black Male
Cat Tolerance:
No
Small Dog Tolerance:
Testing
Good w/ Children:
Yes
Fostered by (location):
Frymire (Greenville, SC)
Adoption Status: In Process for the Wiltsie family of Greenville, SC 5.7.2025

Gazer just arrived from Australia. He only has two races listed at Grafton and Casino and he placed 7th and 8th. He is a handsome, black male that raced at 71lbs. His DOB is 4/25/21 so is just turning 3 years old. Gazer's sire is Ace Hi Rumble and his dam is Lucille Rumble. He is tattooed in his left ear NKCHX and is microchipped. He was neutered, had his dental and all his shots in Australia before being transported to the US. This is the description we received from his previous owner: This guy is the perfect example of the cruisy greyhound. He likes to play for a little while, but then it is nap time. His favorite pastime is food tasting. Gazer has a great attitude towards life and lives it to the fullest. He is a very happy boy and loves being with his people. He is good with the Italian Greyhound he met. Cats roam the property and although most of the dogs don't interact with them, they can observe them and don't get excited when they do see them. Children interact with regularly (8 and up). Children can lead him around and he will not pull on the lead. Gazer just wants to get in the car and settles quickly and travels well. He is crate trained and is happy to sit in his crate and watch his people while they work.  Gazer has been a great boy since he arrived. He absolutely loves the kids he saw ages 4 to 9. He is so friendly and happy and great on leash. He has been quiet in his crate. Gazer has been living with small dogs in his foster home. He absolutely can not live with cats. He was very focused on the cat and didn't back away even when it slapped him. Gazer does travel very well. What a nice, friendly, happy guy!  UPDATE!  Kai has done really well in his adoptive home since last year, but recently had an unfortunate surprise encounter with an unexpected cat.  He's demonstrated that even though time has passed, he is NOT a dog who can live peacefully with them either inside or out.  Otherwise, he's a splendid, friendly, and well traveled dog just waiting for his new start with the perfect family!

Little But Wild

Little But Wild
Pet/Kennel Name:

Age:

Color/Gender:

Cat Tolerance:
No
Small Dog Tolerance:
Yes
Good w/ Children:

Fostered by (location):
Oakley (Greenville SC)
Adoption Status: Pending to the Oakley family of Greenville, SC 5.20.26

Linda initially came to us from the Running To Stand Still farm in Florida. She raced 60 races at Derby Lane in Florida. Her last race was December 26th of 2020. She raced mainly at C and B levels. She is indeed a little girl and raced at just 56lbs. Linda will turn 8 on July 18th. Her sire is the famous SH Avatar and her dam is Kiowa Grand Girl. Although she passed her initial cat test when she arrived, her previous owner says she is very high prey drive and couldn't be around small dogs or cats at the kennel. She really feels like she needs a home with no small animals. Update!  Linda is once again available, through no fault of her own along with her housemate Lovie. She and Lovie have been living with a very loving family that just can no longer care for them due to other family responsibilities. She has lived in a home since shortly after she retired and is well behaved. A very sweet girl. She will settle into foster care and we will have updates soon.

Age:

Color/Gender:
Black Female
Cat Tolerance:

Adoption Status: Pending to the Acker family of Columbia, SC, 6.5.26

Lovie is a gorgeous black female that initially came to us from Bolton Kennel at the Sanford Orlando Race Track. She was raised at the Plum Creek farm. Lovie raced at 60lbs and turned 9 on April 16th. She raced 57 races in Orlando and got up to the top A level. She sprained her ankle in September of 2019 and was off until January of 2020 to heal up. She went back to racing and even won a race, but in her last race on Feb 21st of 2020 she jammed the same ankle again, so was retired. Her ankle healed up well and causes no issues now. She is fine for walks and hikes and playing in the yard. Lovie is a very very outgoing girl. She is very waggy and wiggly and is very happy to see people and loves everyone she meets. She is a total love and is very silly one of the most outgoing and forward greyhound we have met. She is a natural leader with other dogs, so may do best with a more submissive housemate that is more of a follower. Lovie loves stuffed animals and likes to carry them around. Her sire is Top Of The Pile and her dam is World Of My Own. Lovie passed her small dog test and backed away after a cautious sniff. She showed no interest in even approaching the cats so she should be fine to live with either. She is full of personality and will make some lucky family a fun pet.  Update!  Lovie is available again because of some changes in her family's needs.  She has settled into retirement over time and seems to be most comfortable with her alone time. She will ask for attention when she wants it, but can be defensive of her space at times. This means she would be best without small children who don't understand personal space and reading cues. Lovie is a smart, home acclimated girl who will make a great choice for a quieter, drama free family! She has been in a very loving home since she retired in 2020. We think she would do fine being placed separately, even though she has been living with her housemate Linda for years.
