The greyhounds featured below have been adopted since July 2008. Please visit our adoptables page to see greyhounds that are available for adoption.
Bryce is a loving, playful, and affectionate boy. He’s curious and loves toys. He especially likes balls, and is learning to fetch. He’ll play either with his humans or by himself. He is respectful of the 12-year-old greyhound he lives with. He tries to get her to play with him. He’s very affectionate with humans and follows us from room to room. He leans or rests his head on us to soak up pets. He loves car rides and walks. He aims to please, and is easily corrected when he mistakes a couch pillow for a stuffie. He has never had an accident in the house. He immediately mastered the stairs. Mirrors and sliding glass doors took him just a couple of days longer to figure out.
Newton is a sweet, friendly and quite beautiful red brindle boy. He is a little timid when approached unexpectedly, but when given a moment to collect himself, he's friendly and curious. He seems to be drawn to children and wants to play with them. He gets along well with his two foster brother greyhounds too. Newton walks well on a leash, jumps into and out of the car easily and lies down quickly after the car ride begins. He has very nice manners whether at Petsmart or on a walk around the block. Newton rarely barks, but he'll give a couple of excited, deep barks when he sees the car come into the driveway. Newton likes squeaky toys. He has carried his newest favorite one around for three days now. Newton likes to get on the couch and rest his head on your lap. His foster mom even discovered him in the middle of the bed one day as if this was his own very big doggy bed. Newton is a gentle boy, and would probably like a home with children and other pets to keep him company.
Sunny is a very affectionate boy who loves to cuddle with his human. He also gets along well with other greyhounds in the home. He has a great appetite, is housetrained, rides well in the car, and is one of the sweetest fosters ever.
Becky is a very sweet and extremely affectionate greyhound girl. She loves all animals, whether dog, cat or bird, but she especially loves people. She turns on the charm with ease and is already a greyhound adoption marketing specialist at the valley Meet and Greets. She has charmed quite a few people and they always end up wanting to take her home right then. Becky likes to go on long walks, enjoys a run every now and then, and has been working on her post puppy figure. She came to GreySave a bit thin and not very muscular but she has put on some weight and toned up a bit because of those daily walks. She likes living with her greyhound friend Indy and does not even mind his taking what he thinks is the best bed. It's as though she knows that Indy lived there first and is a bit set in his ways. She also knows that there are plenty of great beds to go around at her foster mom’s house and has made up her mind that she will stay right there forever.
Acadia is a petite, beautiful, white female with black patches. She is very sweet and affectionate and loves to give kisses. Although she is a little bit shy she enjoys being around people. She watches our other dog with amusement as he tries to entice her with toys. After two weeks in our home she has not started to play with them, but moves them from bed to bed. Acadia is learning to use the dog door and has not had an accident in the house. She listens well and walks great on a leash. She absolutely loves going for walks and gets very excited when she sees her leash. When we walk in the neighborhood, everyone comments on how pretty she is. She looks like a living painting. One of her favorite pastimes is to relax on the patio. She would do well in a home without small children as they might be too rambunctious for her. She remains calm with my 14-year-old daughter but is a little nervous with my 8-year-old son. Whoever adopts her will have a true friend for life.
Biscayne is a real looker of a young lady who loves to follow her foster humans around trying to get them to pet her. She comes when called and responds to anyone, including kids, who will give her attention. Counter sniffing is of great interest to her. When told NO she will stop, however. Dog treats are just now being taken from our hands. She does well on leash, apart from her frequent stops to inspect anything that catches her eye. She is always willing and ready to go on long walks. She can be left at home all day with no problem. She looks out the window when her humans leave for work, and is there when she hears us return. The daily obstacles of a home were never an issue for her: she has mastered stairs, tile floors, mirrors, and used the dog door within 10 minutes of her arrival in our home. We are working with her on jumping into the car (jumping out is not an issue). Toys are of no interest yet, but she wants to play and run with the other greyhound in our home. She should fit well into any home with other dogs, and with a little work should be OK with cats. She is not at all a dominant dog. She likes to lay on the same bed at the same time with our other greyhound. She gets along well with a cattle dog as well. Her cute ears and endearing personality are sure to melt your heart.
Ellie Mae is a gorgeous girl with expressive brown eyes that beg you to love or play with her. She gets along very well with our other two greyhounds and walks beautifully on leash. Ellie learns quickly; she mastered the dog door in one day and has yet to have had an accident in the house. She does have a mischievous streak. She loves to gather our socks around her bed and lay with them.
Zelda is a playful, loving little girl. She laps up attention as eagerly as she inhales the food from her bowl and loves to give and get kisses. She does the "greyhound lean" where she'll stand against you and gradually shift all her weight in your direction. She often stands with one or more paws on top of your feet as if to say, "You're not going anywhere." She just turned two in May and definitely has the eagerness of a puppy, exploding with excitement when we enter the room. She is potty-trained and let's us know when it's time to go out (which helps when you live in a third-floor apartment). She's learning to walk with the leash and seems to do best when she can trot beside our other greyhound. Walking around the neighborhood in slippers at 6am doesn't seem so painful when you have a dog like Zelda looking up at you excitedly to make sure you're not going anywhere without her. Zelda also is very social around people and dogs. She loves to meet everyone she sees, big and small, human and dog. She also gets along quite nicely with our fluffy white cat, who likes to lie down near the dogs' beds. She seems more confident with another dog around, (we took her out once by herself for a few hours and she got really shy). She is a true sweetheart.
Zion is a beautiful, black teddy bear of a boy with dark eyes and a happy, easy-going manner. Within a few days of getting to his foster home he realized something good had just happened. He was for the first time living in a house with soft dog pads and good food and taking walks where he could greet all the neighbors. He recognized what a deal this was and became the perfect foster. Soon Zion discovered squeaky toys are good not only for squeaking but for tossing in the air and maybe even ripping apart. He also discovered chasing (but not retrieving) tennis balls and that you can play tug of war with people. From the first day he was great at walking on leash, but a bit too curious about those small critters that bark at him and jump about. Zion knows he is the dog that the term Velcro Greyhound was invented to describe, and will follow his foster parent just about anywhere. His favorite spot is under the desk where serious work is being done or maybe next to the bed when everyone is asleep. He is great at both cat naps and extended sleeps. He is looking for a home that will take him on long walks, let him hang out under the desk or pet him for hours.
Ricky is a shy boy that’s still cautious of everyone, but you can tell that he wants to be loved. He doesn’t run from us, but walks away rather quickly. When I approach him to tickle his belly he licks and chews, showing he loves the attention. He doesn’t even notice the cats in his foster home until they try to eat out of his bowl. Then he just backs away. He’s starting to play with toys and “roos” when it’s time to go for a walk in the morning. He’s not only pretty, but very polite! He has not had any accidents in the house! He’s a sweet boy.
Trixie greets us every time we come home with the greatest greyhound grin we have ever seen. She is a little shy, but with love and a bit of patience she will come around. She is a fast learner; she has never had an accident in the house and learned to use the dog door on her second day in her foster home. She enjoys sleeping most of the day and likes evening walks after dinner. Most of the time Trixie walks well and confidently on a leash but periodically she will "freeze" for no apparent reason. However, with a bit of encouragement and redirection she quickly starts walking again. Trixie interacts with children wonderfully and loves their affection when correctly given. Her foster family includes a 9-year-old girl, a Labrador Retriever, two Queensland Healers and chickens. She should have no problem living with medium or larger dogs. Trixie still does not like to share her food, toys or bed, but has improved over time. She is more of an independent dog than some greyhounds and may do well as the only dog. Trixie comes enthusiastically when called and enjoys having her belly rubbed, lots of kisses and cuddling.
For many people, the ideal large male greyhound would be gentle, playful but well mannered, and affectionate. This in fact describes Dagwood very well. When he wants to be petted, he just stands near you and patiently waits for you to notice him and love him up. While he is confident, he is not at all pushy or domineering. He gets along great with the other dogs in his foster family (all greyhounds), though at this point he’s more interested in interacting with his people. He is becoming playful, but so far just plays with toys by himself. Dagwood is tall and lanky. Dagwood is pretty smart, too. He has never had an accident in the house. In just two weeks he has learned to sit and lay down. At his first Meet & Greet, he was friendly towards everyone. He does not exhibit separation anxiety when we leave.
Smart and sweet describe this adorable little greyhound. Alice quickly made the transition from kennel to home. She is very smart. She has never had an accident in the house, and even let us know when her tummy wasn’t feeling good by barking at the door so she could go outside to spit up. Alice quickly learned what to do when hearing “halt!” on her walks with her foster brother and sister, and she’s a breeze on a leash. After a few squirt-bottle sessions, Alice won’t even look at Kato, our Siamese cat, but she is intrigued by our bearded dragon, and puts her nose on the aquarium he lives in. With her smarts, she should quickly learn what (or who) is off limits in her new home. She loves being around people and dogs, and gets lonely when she’s by herself, so she would probably be happiest in a home with other dogs. But she’s not needy at all and just plops on her pad with a big smile if you don’t have time to play with her. She’s already been to a Meet & Greet, where she loved the attention and was very friendly to strangers, but when she’s at home, Alice will let out a short bark to warn us when something is outside. This loving little girl will be a wonderful friend for someone.
Yellowstone is full of fun puppy energy, but sleeps like an adult dog. He'll curl up anywhere, even on the hard kitchen floor while he's waitiing for dinner. He was a pro at being a pet right away - playing with toys and cockroaching almost the first night. And still everyday he learns new retired greyhound skills. He gets on well with his foster siblings, both canine and feline, and keeps his foster moms smiling with his wildly wagging tail and slobbery kisses. Getting attention is his favorite activity (besides eating). You should see how his back leg goes up almost mechanically in response to a belly-rub. What a great addition to a family he will be!
Ralph is great with steps, tile and taking goodies from our hands. He is a big, tall boy. He does great on his walks. His classic greyhound looks and size have made him the hit of the neighborhood when he goes for his evening walks. He loves eating and playing with stuffies. He is living with three doggie siblings between 10 and 40 pounds without any problems. He absolutely loves being with his people and gets so happy when we come home after being away.
Gidget is one sweet lady! She is doing extremely well living with another greyhound and five cats. She was curious about the cats at first, but one good swipe on the nose and now she watches them from a distance or just ignores them. She has not had one accident in the house and stands by the sliding back door when she wants to go out. She is very people-oriented, extremely affectionate and even licks your nose! She is learning quickly and is very correctable because she wants to please. She has discovered that she can reach things that smell good on the counter. She is learning to play with her toys and her greyhound friend is teaching her how to frolic and wrestle. She is very curious and will follow you into any room with no hesitation and then thoroughly smells everything in it. She is an absolutely perfect lady on the leash. She has a met few other dogs on walks, both big and small, and is friendly to all of them. She wants to be in whatever room the people are in, preferably laying on the couch, with her head in your lap!
Harriett is an affectionate, sweet, happy, big girl with floppy ears. She rarely lies down without making deep grunts in the process. She makes a funny noice when she drinks, too. She is learning to play with toys, and when a toy squeaks her ears stand up straight. She isn't interested in running around the yard in play with the two greyhounds in her foster pack, although she will chase the visiting possum. She gets along well with the other greyhounds, rides well in the car, and loves walks. She is a bit submissive with her humans as she is learning how to be a pet. She is a girl with a bad case of happy tail. Even if asleep, when we walk by her she will wag that tail. She gets excited easily with her humans and wants to please. She is a sweetheart.
Catherine is on the petite side and is cute and sweet. She is a little shy and reserved at first but warms up to people pretty quickly. She lives with another greyhound and a lab and gets along well with both. Catherine is a reminder of how fast greyhounds can run, even if it is in small circles in a little yard. If you walk Catherine on the leash she is very well mannered; but if a cat or small animal runs by you, you better hold on, so she needs a cat-free environment. She somehow already knew about using a dog door and was immediately house trained. She loves to carry her toys around and has several nearby at all times. She has gotten along famously with her foster pack from day one and should be a great addition for anyone who has other greyhounds or other dogs.
Minden, or Mindy, is one of three broken-leg dogs taken in at the May Homecoming. Her recovery is going very well; her splint should be removed permanently in early June. She does very well with all the cats in her foster home and also gets along with the greyhound (Ginny) and Dalmatian. She wants to play with the Dalmatian, but mom has to step in and spoil the fun until the vet gives the OK for more activity. If she has been sleeping in another room and comes into a room where there are people, she has a huge grin on her face, and keeps grinning for several minutes.
Hi, my name is Abe. My life recently has been a bummer. A good Samaritan found me starving and injured in a riverbed near Hansen Dam. He took me in and fed me and healed my injuries. He then called Greysave to see if they could help. My soon-to-be foster mom came to check me out (to see if I was really a greyhound!) and took me home with her. So things are finally looking up. I am living with three other dogs and several cats and get along with everybody. I am a bit timid at times because I'm not used to all this loving attention. I have lots of fun picking apricots off the tree and playing with squeaky toys. I am ready to find my forever home.
Ethel is a calm and loving little lady who gives kisses to her foster parents or anyone else she gets to know. She does well when meeting humans of all ages and sizes. She mastered the dog door in two days with never an accident in the house. She does well with tile floors and mirrors, but she’s still working to master stairs. Shas been a very quick learner on everything we have asked of her. She shows great interest in counter surfing, but her manners are improving every day. She fit in well from day one with her foster pack of another greyhound and a cattle dog. They even love to share beds. She loves to go on walks every day and ride in the car where she is the first to lay down. She is just now playing with squeaky toys and loves to take them to bed with her. We have nicknamed her "Gypsy Rose" since her color and marking make her look like a little gypsy. She should do well as an only dog.
Maynard is a very large and lovable boy. He loves to take naps and will lie down practically anywhere that his foster mom and dad are to be near them. He is extremely loving and friendly, and likes to rest his head on your arm or lap to be petted. Maynard has an almost puppy-like excitement about life. He gets excited to go outside and run around a bit in the yard, but soon he's right back inside for more relaxing. He has not yet developed an appreciation for toys, but does love his treats and chewies. Maynard is a very good boy in the house. He zips up and down the stairs with ease. He knows to run to the back door when it is time for a bathroom break. Maynard gets along wonderfully with his foster siblings: two greyhounds and an Italian Greyhound. He does very well with sharing attention and dog beds. Maynard would also do equally well in a home as an only dog, since he loves human attention and affection and is able to be independent from the pack.
