PLEASE NOTE: We've found that people who choose a dog based on a photo and brief profile such as those below often don't end up with the best dog for their lifestyle and family. So rather than let adopters pick the dog they want from these profiles, our adoption representatives use all the information we have on each dog to help adopters find just the right dog. Our goal is always a match that's great for both dog and family. Please allow us to help you find the best greyhound for you.
Fifi is a really sweet and cute greyhound who would love to find her forever home . She plays with her greyhound brother and 2 small dogs, loving a good romp in the backyard. Fifi should go to someone with a dog as she likes other dogs and most seem to be taken with her as well. She is good with the cats too. Fifi adores people and enjoys hanging out with you. Whenever she meets someone new, she is sweet and enjoys their attention. She is very responsive to obedience commands to come, stay, etc and walks nicely on leash. Fifi likes to ride in the car. If you like to get and give attention and love, this outgoing girl will be a perfect companion for you.
Dune is a beautiful, 20 months-old greyhound boy. He is slightly smaller than your average male greyhound. Absolutely nothing else is average about Dune. He has striking good looks and a silky, shiny coat that is getting better all the time. Dune will need more TLC and patience than your average greyhound. Some would call him shy, a little skittish, or afraid of people which is a small part of his story. With a little extra time and work he becomes playful and bonded to "his" people. He is the first greyhound his foster dad has been around that plays "peekaboo" like a little kid. When he develops a certain level of trust he will bow down in his "down dog" pose, wag his tail, and yodel or bark at you. He is very comfortable around any other breed or size of dog. Dune learns quickly what is expected of him which helps make him a well-behaved house pet. Dune is certainly not the "run of the mill" dog nor the perfect pet for just anyone. But he will be a great and rewarding companion for the right home who is willing to have a beautiful, loving, slightly timid companion.
Goldie's a beautiful five year old red brindle female. She's full of energy, very loving and is very excited to see you when you come home. She is currently in a foster home with two male greyhounds and gets along very well with her foster brothers. She's great on walks and rides well in the car. Goldie would be best suited in a home with other dogs. She's not an alpha female and gets along with all personalities. She is very good looking, sweet and loves to be petted.
Vanessa came to us a very shy and untrusting little girl. With a lot of work, attention when she needed it, and a quiet home, she is starting to emerge from her shell. She has excellent house manners and, like most greys, loves car rides and settles in for them quickly. She is strongly food and treat motivated, so she should be easy to train. The other greys in her foster home have helped her learn that humans are a good thing. She mastered the doggy door in record time by watching the others. She is now starting to play with stuffy toys and has learned that being petted is wonderful. With a black coat, white chest, and a white paw or two, she will make a most wonderful addition to a home. A slow-paced forever home would make the perfect place for her to continue to blossom. A retired mom and/or dad, along with another dog to be her buddy, is just what she needs.
Doll is a skinny, long nosed, very affectionate, sweet heart. It will take a little time for her to put on weight and loose her winter coat, but when she goes, she’ll be a gem. Wonderful to have around, she is settling in and pretty much follows one everywhere so as not to miss a thing. She loves to be petted and gets along with her whippet and greyhound companions. She has a healthy appetite, and may be a counter surfer when not watched, but responds quickly and easily to a gentle “no”. The two issues we’re still working on: not jumping up on us when we return home, and not pulling on the lease when we go for a walk, as she acts like we’re going to the “races”. She appears too interested in cats, but can’t be sure. Still a bit of puppy in her...loves toys and furry slippers. She may gain more independence, but currently, joins us in any room we’re in. What’s not to love?
Macho is a handsome and affectionate chap. His tail spins like a helicopter when he greets you. He gets along well with the galgos and the grey in this foster home. He is curious around the cats and wants to get near. They hiss and he backs off plus he is quick learner. Macho likes to talk a bit and let me know if I am a little slow to prepare the meals. He is a gentleman at meal time, waits his turn and respects the other dogs space. He always follows his foster mom everywhere, even into the bath room. He likes walks and does well on a leash. He tends to cross in front of him mom when on and maybe even off the leash. Yes he is still working on learning some the basic dogs manners. He is food motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement. In time he will discover the joy of stuffed toys as he as such a fun personality and seems to enjoy the adventure of his new life.
Natalia is a petite young girl who is full of playful energy and very loving. She lives with three other greyhounds and a cat. Natalia is very easy on the leash. We hardly know she is walking beside us. She loves to ride in the car and she loves meeting people while shopping at her favorite pet store. She enjoys tossing around her favorite stuffies, sunning herself outside and treat times. This outgoing girl would do well in a home with lots of toys and plenty of human companionship. She is slowly learning that the kitchen counters are off limits. Natalia is a true beauty.
Farah has a sleek, light brindle body and long legs. She can be very charming and is just a bit mysterious. She seemed to come from the track with a definite idea of what her life in retirement should be: long walks two times a day, meals at meal time, and an early bed time. Amazingly she has slept all night from the first day she came to GreySave. She is living with four greyhounds and does not seem to mind their existence in her home. At the same time while she ignores the other greys she is very pleasant to them. She has never growled, rolled her lips, or even given the other greys an "evil greyhound" stare. Farah pretty much prefers her own favorite beds. Yes, she has one in the family room, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. And when in bed she somewhat expects to have a tummy rub every so often. Unless Farah is so mysterious the foster mom can't read here she thinks that Farah might be happy as an only princess as long as her human subjects were around to walk her, feed her, and let her sleep on her favorite tuffet. Farah is a somewhat unique girl.
Shadow is the perfect gentleman: well-mannered, confident, and friendly. At 7 ½ years old, he has outgrown puppy “foolishness” while still keeping his sense of fun and play. He enjoys the company of humans and other dogs (large and small), and behaves nicely with the three cats in his foster home--mostly by ignoring them. He likes attention and affection but also knows how to be alone. He has lived as an only dog and could do so again, provided that he was not left alone for too many hours. Shadow likes to go out for walks, go for car rides, and meet new people. He tends to talk more than many greyhounds–not barking, but rather speaking or “roo-ing” (he can even imitate the “ah-oo-ah, ah-oo-ah” of a vintage Lincoln). He usually restricts his conversation to just before walks or meal times. His winning personality matches his good looks. He’s the dog who has it all, just waiting to be the perfect companion.
Ana is a friendly little girl who has a very tender heart. She is very submissive and will roll on to her back for a good tummy rub. She is starting to enjoy playing with her toys. Ana enjoys going on long walks, running from room to room in the house, and showing off her beautiful smile. She loves to give kisses and will sit next to you while you give her hugs. Ana is good on the leash. She will occasionally get caught up in the moment and try to pull. A simple reminder is all it takes to get her to walk with you. Ana lives with 2 cats and three greyhounds. She would love someone to play chase with. Ana will need a buddy to show her the ropes, and a human that is willing to give Ana confidence in herself.
Explanation of the Small dog/Cat Tolerance Listings Nearly all greyhounds get along very well with dogs of medium size or larger, regardless of breed. But some do not get along with small dogs or cats. In the Small dog/cat tolerant listings above, the first letter refers to how we think the greyhound would do with small dogs, the second to how he would do with cats. The listings above for the most part are based on how the greyhound tested when he first came off the track. Some listings have been adjusted as we've seen how he has done in his foster home. An "N/N" listing above means that, in our judgment, this dog is not suited to live with either small dogs (under 20 pounds) or cats. Note that some greyhounds do fine with small dogs but not with cats, so receive a Y/N listing. A "W" listing in either category means that the greyhound, with proper training and supervision such as an experienced greyhound adopter could provide, could learn to live with small dogs or cats. A "Y" listing means that the greyhound with proper supervision initially should adapt quickly to life with small dogs and cats. He may even be living with them now in his foster home. A "?" listing usually means that the dog has not yet been tested.
