Vegas -- Adopted and living in Buena Park
Racing Name: Mega Vegas Baby
Age: 1 1/2 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Vegas is a goofy and affectionate young dog who is still learning how to be brave in her new world. She gets along great with the other greyhounds and the small dog in her foster home, following them wherever they go and whatever they do, gaining courage from their leadership. She especially enjoys playing with the miniature pinscher. She will need to be in a home with another dog because she is pretty unsure about new things or loud noises. She will happily be at the bottom of the pack. She has not exhibited any terrible puppy behaviors such as chewing, but she will grab the remote control or some laundry and put it on her bed occasionally. She walks perfectly on a leash and loves going for long walks.
Mable -- Adopted and living in Porterville
Racing Name: Stable Mabel
Age: 5 1/2 Sex: F Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/N
Mable is a very easy going, somewhat clingy girl. She is a quiet girl who only gets excited for her walks. Right from the first day in her foster home she slept the whole night without a peep or a whine. Since that night she heads for the bedroom before the rest of the pack, and picks out a favorite bed. She has blended into the foster home's greyhound pack of five and has never even rolled a lip at the pushy little "alpha want to be" girl. She initially was very alert about the small, fluffy dogs she saw at Meet & Greets and other events, but now takes them in stride. She walks well on a leash and loves as many walks as come her way. She is a great smiler, which can be a bit scary with her dark face and eyes. Mable is a bit older than some of the greys who come off the track, and has earned her salt and pepper muzzle. She has an interesting pattern of white flecks around her nose that looks like she captured the Milky Way as she ran through it. Mable's perfect home would be one with people around often to love and pet her, though she is not at all needy. She might be OK as an only dog once she gets used to her Forever Home's schedule.
Fielding -- Adopted and living in La Canada Flintridge
Racing Name:
Age: 4 Sex: M Color: Red fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: N/N
Fielding is a curious but cautious hound. He wants to check out everything that is new. He will approach something new, then back away, but go back to figure it out. Once he knows it's safe and will fit in his mouth he may take it to his special place in the yard. It can be surprising what he feels the need to add to his pile, including pants left on the floor. He has used the dog door from day one. The dog door is closed at times during the day and at night and he has never had an accident in the house. Fielding loves toys that squeak and will play in the house but also loves to add them to his "yard pile." If you throw them he will chase after it. He has no food aggression. He doesn't care if another dog eats from his bowl while he chews--yes, he chews every piece of kibble. We are working on the fact that not all food is his, because this boy loves food! He is learning,but still needs correction to not put his nose in a plate or counter surf. He walks great on a leash but can become a but vocal if he sees other dogs but we are working on this. He also will "talk" to you when you come home. With some away training he could probably be an only dog if his owners aren't gone long.
Sammy -- Adopted and living in Orange
Racing Name: CDC Sammy
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: M Color: White and black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Sammy is a darling, curious pup . Looking more like a Holstein cow, with his giant black and white splotched coat, he stands tall and perky, always ready for action. Sammy gets along famously with new dogs and humans, and has become partial to our resident greyhound girl, who he prefers to snuggle with rather than go to his own bed. He transitioned very quickly to farm life among new animals, including 2 dogs, 5 kittens, and 2 goats--but has taken a greater liking to our chickens. He is a hungry boy who lives for mealtime. He likes occasional treats like apples and heirloom tomatoes he sneaks from the kitchen to devour outside. He is learning new commands, and "go to your bed" came like second nature to him. He walks gracefully on lead, heeling closely to the left. Sammy would do best in a home with other dogs or people around him most of the day. Sammy is pretty bonded to his greyhound companion and probably could not be an only boy.
Darling -- Adopted and living in Stevenson Ranch
Racing Name: Daring Lemur
Age: 3 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: W/N
Darling, an adorable 3-year-old brindle girl, really lives up to her name. With her petite size and lovable face, she is just irresistible. Darling has had a more difficult time than some greys in transitioning to retired life, and would appreciate a forever home where her family would have lots of patience in helping her continue to make a successful adjustment. Over time, Darling has shown tremendous improvement in overcoming her fears and shyness, but is still working on her worries about certain sounds and movements. Darling is very troubled by smaller dogs and cats, but does wonderfully well with her greyhound siblings in her foster home. Darling is also quite fearful of young children, so would appreciate a family without small people. The perfect home for Darling would be a calm household without younger children, where her family could spend a good deal of time with her, or possibly with another well-adjusted greyhound. Despite her worries, when she is feeling comfortable, her beautiful and playful personality comes out, and she loves to romp, play with toys, and be cuddled! Her foster family is quite certain that as she continues to grow in confidence, her wonderful traits will continue to shine.
Abby -- Adopted and living in Woodland Hills
Racing Name: Bella Absence
Age: 3 Sex: F Color: Fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Abby smiles sweetly, roos softly, sleeps upside down, loves people and likes to be next to you. She is a lady on a leash or during car rides, is very good with little dogs, and is gentle with little girls and baby boys. She will gaze lovingly into your eyes. She is beautiful inside and out and always goes potty where she's suppose to. Her foster mom thinks Abby is really a "Dear" Hound!
Dallas -- Adopted and living in Fresno
Racing Name: LK's Dallas
Age: 3 Sex: F Color: White
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Dallas is a sweet, sensitive girl who is a little shy at first, but quickly warms up to people. She will follow you around the house and soon have her head in your lap, ready for hugs and kisses. She learned the dog door from the resident greyhound on the first day, and hasn’t had a single accident in the house. She is very vocal for a greyhound and likes to “roo” you awake in the morning because breakfast and walkies are so very exciting. She’s walking well on a lead and figuring out that all these noisy things that we encounter are more interesting than they are scary. Especially those squirrel things. Those are VERY interesting! Dallas has discovered toys and loves to toss them down the hallway and recapture them. She likes to carry them around the house, squeaking them happily, and brings them to her bed with her. Dallas would do best in a quiet household with another dog and her people around most of the time.
Flicka -- Adopted and living in Visalia
Racing Name: Savvy Flaca
Age: 4 Sex: F Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: W/N
Flicka is a real love bug who never turns down a chance to get some attention from her humans. She's the first hound to her foster dad’s bedside when the alarm goes off. Yes, it’s time to rise and shine, but best of all it’s time for breakfast. Flicka greets everyone she meets, large or small, with her whole body and tail in wiggle mode. Quick to pick up on the joys of a dog door, she has never had an accident in the house. In addition to mealtime, she looks forward to a soft bed. In the car she watches the new world go by between naps. Flick has had no problem with the three greyhounds in her foster pack--they all love to play with each other. This little girl has impeccable table manners and is not interested in counter surfing. Walks are also great fun, but she shows too much interest in small dogs and cats. As a result, she needs need a home with low energy medium- or large-sized dogs. A forever home with a buddy or two would be like a dream to her. But with a little work she could adjust to being an only dog if her humans did not leave for long periods of time.
Kathy -- Adopted and living in Castaic
Racing Name: HK Kathy
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Kathy is Miss Personality Plus in a petite package. This clever young lady has an adventurous nature and boundless curiousity. When Kathy's playing has worn out her three greyhound friends, she finds ways to entertain herself with an active game of toss the toys with the doggy in the mirror. She is a dog guaranteed to make you laugh. However she occasionally needs a gentle reminder that the family cat is not a toy, too. Kathy quickly adapted to home living--mastering stairs, soft beds, and car rides as though she had been doing them all her life. She needs encouragement to walk on the bare floors. She is smart, talkative, sensitive, and loves to be petted and adored. She will make someone a wonderful companion. She would do best in a home with another dog to keep her company and entertained while the family is away.
Becky -- Adopted and living in Pico Rivera
Racing Name: Flea's Ribery
Age: 4 Sex: F Color: Red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Becky is a very sweet and somewhat small greyhound girl. She is easy going, walks well on the leash, and travels well in the car. She is quiet most of the time, except when it is time to go for a walk--then she gets very happy. She lives with greyhounds, a Jack Russell terrier, and a very small chihuahua mix. She likes to be loved by the family's grandchildren. Becky is just one of those easy-going, great greyhound girls.
Mink -- Adopted and living in Burbank
Racing Name: AC Galaxy Luna
Age: 6 Sex: F Color: Dark brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Mink is such a sweet little girl. She normally has a very quiet personality, but greets us with a roo and sometimes a small bark in the morning. She has a very good appetite and is learning to wait for her food. Mink is house trained and follows one or all of the dogs outside to potty. She doesn’t like to go out by herself so would need another dog to keep her company. Mink gets very excited on walks, and pulls a little at first, but quickly settles into the routine. She also rides well in the car, but doesn’t know how to jump in the SUV. We’re working on that. Mink met the cat a few times and was very interested in him. We brought them together again and she was a little too interested. We don’t feel that she should live with a cat since she tends to stare at him. Mink absolutely loves to shake the toys and knows which doggie toys she can play with. She leaves the human toys, like shoes, alone. She did a little counter surfing in the beginning of her stay with us but isn’t interested in it now. Mink is very sensitive to correction and aims to please whenever she can. She is a wonderful girl, very happy, loves attention and follows us everywhere. She will be a very good companion in her forever life. Due to her sensitive nature we don’t feel she could be an only dog and would need the company of one or more dog friends.
Vendi -- Adopted and living in Hawthorne
Racing Name: Tasty AZ Levendi
Age: 3 Sex: M Color: Red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/W
Vendi is a lover--a big, goofy, follow-you-around-the-house sweetheart. He is outgoing and curious, well-behaved on leash and eager to meet everyone he sees--dog or person, near or far. He runs up to sniff the smallest and largest of dogs, regardless of size. Once his curiosity is satisfied, he’s ready to stand patiently, have the children pet him, or move on to the next interesting thing on the path. Vendi loves to chew rawhides and play with toys. He tosses them, pounces, dances and prances. He also enjoys vaulting into the Mini Cooper and riding around. Vendi lives with his foster greyhound brother and family. He is fine with small dogs on leash, once he gets to sniff them all over. Vendi will be happiest with a family who will romp and play with him, particularly if someone is home most of the day. He has a lot of energy and personality. He has soft, expressive ears, a fuzzy "red" coat, is smart and eager to please.
MJ -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles
Racing Name: Loved AZ BJ
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
MJ, aka "Moose," is a gentle giant of a greyhound. He loves meeting new people and always has a wagging tail. His disappointment is obvious if his greeting isn't reciprocated. There isn't much he doesn't like--car rides are fun, toys are fun, other dogs are fun, but tummy rubs and snuggling are the best. He uses a dog door and always finishes dinner. It seems like he spends most of his time upside down, which was helpful with keeping his broken leg elevated while healing. His foster home believes that he would do best with other dogs in the home. He does get a bit vocal for a few minutes when humans leave, so he's probably not the right choice for a condo or apartment. He is very easy going--one of those dogs that just goes with the flow and is open to new adventures.
Eve -- Adopted and living in La Habra
Racing Name: All About Eve
Age: 2 Sex: F Color: White and black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/TBD
Injury cut short Eve’s racing career, but she has quickly learned that retirement is a much more enjoyable way of life. Mastering the dog door was easily accomplished after learning to dodge the flap-in- the-face when following one of her three greyhound sisters in or out. Her nose and eyes were eager to investigate the sights and smells coming from the kitchen counter, but she has given up on that since there are more rewarding activities to do such as napping, going for walks, riding in the car, or spending the day at the office with her humans. She is a greyt greyhound ambassador who she greets all with a big black, wet nose and a whole body wiggle. But her true post-athlete passion is TOYS. She tosses them, flips them, squeaks, squawks and rattles them. But she the happiest when she just carries one around the house proudly showing her humans her latest“catch.” She is a very special two-year-old, full of personality and just enough of impish behavior to capture your heart.
Jelena -- Adopted and living in Phoenix
Racing Name: Fast AZ Jelena
Age: 4 1/2 Sex: F Color: White and fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/N
Sherman -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles
Racing Name: CDC Sure Bet
Age: 6 Sex: M Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Since Sherman raced for so long, it took him a while longer to adjust to off track life. For instance, he wanted to be petted, but had no idea how to do it, so when you reached to pet him, he rubbed himself vigorously back and forth against your hand! It took him awhile to learn that HE had to stay still and let the PERSON do the moving! He is very friendly, good with strangers, adults and kids alike, but he has had to learn to hang back alittle and not rush up to visitors - it was a little unnerving for them- but he has now pretty well mastered the gracious art of greeting. Sherman has a great appetite which is in high gear all the time, although he is not much of a counter surfer. He lives with two cats whom he has come to learn to respect, and two large dogs with whom he gets along very well. Although he enjoys the pack experience, he could probably do well as an only dog as long as his owner was not gone all day every day. He will often just go off alone in the bedroom and lay on his bed enjoying his retirement! Sherman is the first foster we have had who has never had one single accident in the house! He mastered the dog door the first day. Having said that, he still doesnt really like it! As he comes slowly through each time, you can see him thinking it out--right front, left front (ow! my tail!) left rear, right rear. He always makes it but I know he much prefers someone to open the door for him! He rides very well in the car, jumps in and out willingly, and lays down immediately. Sherman is really a sweetheart, becoming more affectionate and relaxed every day,and as he fills out his coat is getting really pretty. If he has any flaws, it would be that possibly he was scared by a cow at the track, because he can smell leather 50 feet away! So far his record is four belts and one Birkenstock! We've learned to keep our belts hung up, and they're the only things he's interested in chewing. He will make a great and loyal companion for someone and seems to be heading in the direction of being a grey snuggler.
Lila -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles
Racing Name: Hallo Lila
Age: 5 1/2 Sex: F Color: Fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/W
Lila is a sweet, affectionate girl, who is enjoying her retirement. She is quiet most of the time, but if she is given any attention she perks right up and showers kisses on anyone who wants them. She occasionally plays with toys, but prefers to "capture" them and transport them to other parts of the house. She is obedient on walks and does not pull or lunge. She has mastered the dog door and stairs. She is uncertain around new dogs, but is accepting when she gets better acquainted with them. She seems to want to please her humans and responds immediately to "No." She probably would be OK as an only dog, if her adopters aren't away from home for too long.
Ready -- Adopted and living in Fresno
Racing Name: RD's Firefly
Age: 5 1/2 Sex: F Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: W/N
At almost 6 years old, Ready is very excited to finally be away from the track and enjoying a life of greyhound bliss. Although she was quite shy and nervous at first, she is really coming out of her shell and warming up to life as a beloved pet. Ready is a tall and gentle girl who is beginning to play with toys and learning how to smile a big greyhound smile. She announces her readiness for play time with a happy bark and wags her tail for hugs and kisses. Ready is currently living with several other greyhounds and gets along well with them, but isn't too sure about small dogs and definitely doesn't like cats. Ready might do well as an only dog, if her family could spend a good deal of time with her, since she lives for human affection, acceptance, and reassurance. Ready would probably also do well with another dog who wouldn't mind letting her be independent, and who isn't too bossy!
Zip -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles
Racing Name: Hallo Zip Zip
Age: 2 Sex: F Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Zip is affectionate, playful and loves to cuddle. She has a very gentle spirit which we find endearing. She lives in our active home with two cats, two small dogs, and teenagers. Zip enjoys early morning and evening walks and is not leash aggressive. She is housebroken and eats regularly twice a day. Zip has a fairly large backyard and loves to run. Zip loves her naps and is usually very energetic when she wakes. She warms up quickly to new people, and when she sees other dogs on her walks she is interested in meeting them. She plays well with the family's other dogs. Zip is quite young and energetic so she needs to go to a forever home with another dog to keep her company and with a family who has time for her affection needs and playfulness.
MeMe -- Adopted and living in Signal Hill
Racing Name: It's Up to Me
Age: 4 1/2 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/N
Meme is a pretty, friendly girl who gets along very well with other dogs. She is a good walker on her leash, climbs staircases with ease, and has mastered the dog door and slippery tile floors. She rewards petting with kisses and loves being around people. Meme really, really enjoys playing with toys, but her favorite thing to do is play chase with her foster sisters. She is a fun dog and a joy to have around.
Nitro -- Adopted and living in Signal Hill
Racing Name: AC Galaxy Nitro
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Nitro is a super friendly greyhound boy. He loves his humans and bonds quickly. He is a love bug. Getting unlimited affection is probably his favorite thing in retirement. He loves to lean on you when getting pets or when he walks. His second favorite thing would be toys. He loves toys that have parts that fling around when he gives them a good shake. He pounces on them, runs around shaking them, and then he lays down to play. After a few minutes he is up to go find another one to do it all over again. He also enjoys fetch--usually not a greyhound thing. He will bring you a toy, drop it and wait for you to throw it. Then the chase begins. He returns shaking it, then will drop it for you to do again. Nitro walks well on the leash, not pulling but leaning on you instead (which we are working on). He is still getting to know the outside world and can be startled by noises or objects on his walk, but he quickly recovers and continues his walk. Nitro is independent enough that he probably could be an only dog if his adopters were not gone long periods of time and gave him plenty of the love he cherishes.
Cord -- Adopted and living in Manhattan Beach
Racing Name: Bella Corduroy
Age: 2 Sex: M Color: White and fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Cord came to GreySave just with a moderate track injury to his right rear leg. He is still very much a puppy with puppy behavior. The foster home needs to keep pens, pencils, etc. out of his reach. He is very playful, but that is not so good on the broken hock. He plays with toys whenever he can sneak them away from the resident "toy king." He is learning to walk nicely on a leash and does very well even though walking with two other dogs. He lives with cats and is curious to the point of chasing when they run, but not in an aggressive manner. If his forever home has cats that will hiss and slap at him, everything will be good. Because he has weekly long car rides to the orthopedic vet, he settles down nicely in the van for the ride. He sometimes sticks his head between the front seats to make sure mom knows the way. Cord loves to say goodnight and good morning with cold nose "kisses." He sometimes will come to the bedside during the night to get a reassuring pat on the head or ear massages. He just wants to make sure mom is still there. Since Cord is so young and not terribly independent he would probably not like to be an only dog.
Olivia -- Adopted and living in Westminster
Racing Name: Red I Overtime
Age: 5 Sex: F Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
"Doe, a deer, a female deer…" is what you will think when you see this dear girl with her big brown eyes and her long front legs. Olivia is a typical grey just learning about the world outside the racetrack and is curious about everything in her surroundings. She enjoys walks with the two other greys in her foster home but doesn’t otherwise interact much with them. She’d rather have human attention and has a particular fondness for squeaky toys. Olivia is a work-in-progress and is starting to come into her personality which can best be described as gentle and curious. She's learned to reciprocate affection. She would be fine as part of a pack or maybe as an only dog so long as she isn’t left alone for long periods of time. She does try to chase cats when she sees one on a walk but she may have learned that bad habit from the other greys.
Penny -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles
Racing Name: Primed AZ Penny
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: N/N
Penny is an exquisitely proportioned dark brindle lady with a very sweet temperament. She exhibits a healthy curiosity about her new retirement life, and because she wants to please, is easily directed. She has mastered condo living in a short time. House training wasn’t a problem, and that is without a doggy door or yard. There is no drama when her foster mom leaves, and absolutely no barking from day one. She gets along with her two grey housemates and flirts with the placid male. Leash walking presents no problem for Penny and she tolerates street noise, bike riders on the sidewalk, and other distractions in her urban neighborhood without any hesitancy. She enjoys focusing in on squirrels, but is content to continue her walk without drama or commotion. Penny is willing to try new things and will allow foster mom to introduce her to elevator rides, steep stairs and getting into the back seat of a very small car. Penny finds cats, small fluffy creatures a bit too interesting, so would not do well in that type of situation. She would love a forever home with a grey or two to play with, and where her people would give her some hugs and support. When she trusts, she loves, forever. Oh, and a small yard would be over the moon!
Pirate -- Adopted and living in Seal Beach
Racing Name: Kiowa Coin Pirate
Age: 3 Sex: M Color: Light fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Pirate lived up to his name and stole some hearts on the day he came to GreySave. He is a big boy with a skinny body and tawny colored coat. He has a quirky bent nose and a funny way of wagging his tail but he is one greyt grey. Pirate was adopted so fast that we never did get to write a proper profile for him but you can see a video of him as he was processed through GreySave's Homecoming day on November 5th. You can even see how he wags that tail.
Wendy -- Adopted and living in Pasadena
Racing Name: Wing's Momentum
Age: 4 1/2 Sex: F Color: Red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Wendy is a stunning dark red girl. She is very sociable and is interested in all other animals and people she meets on a walk. Her forever home has to be ready for a walk in the morning or Wendy will make sure you are up by running from outside to your bedside several times if you don't get up right away. Wendy hops into the car easily and rides well. She has learned to use the dog door. She is not too sure about the cats but is coming around. If the other foster dog would quit chasing the cats when they dart by and piquing her interest, she might prove to be very good with the cats. Wendy would probably be OK as an only dog so she could be the only princess in the house. Her one fault is that once asleep she does not like to be disturbed. and definitely doesn't want to share her bed. Yes, she is a princess!
Lee -- Adopted and living in Irvine
Racing Name: Leondre Episode
Age: 3 Sex: M Color: White and black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Lee is a small but virtually perfect greyhound. He is quiet and easy going. He loves playing with his toys, either by himself or with his human companion. He seems a little shy when you first meet him, but after a few minutes he is ready share. After the morning alarm goes off he comes into the bedroom to make sure we are awake. We are greeted with loving eyes and wagging tail. He loves to be petted, without being a pest. He loves to go on walks and does not pull while walking. In the car he lays down quickly, and with his small size he fits in any size car. He travels well with other pets, so going on a long trip, or even a trip to the store is not a problem. He would do fine whether you have a house or you live in an apartment. With his gentle manor he would be good with children over six or seven. He would also make a great companion for active seniors. Lee needs only your love.
Nick -- Adopted and living in Tustin
Racing Name: KT Nick of Time
Age: 4 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Nick is tall, sleek, and moves like the wind. He’s as quiet as the wind too in that he has yet to bark. He can be a bit of a "Velcro dog", but he knows when to relax and find his bed. His eyes talk to you and he just loves to lay his head in your lap in the event that you might want to provide small strokes of love. Nick is a great pack member. He is absolutely the submissive male that gets along with all of his pack family members. Nick currently resides with 2 toddlers, 2 female greyhounds, a 100-pound alpha Labrador, and several foster Labs that have come and gone since he arrived. Nick continues to learn about living in a home and after a few missed attempts, he has now mastered going to the bathroom outside using the doggy door. He is a still a curious guy and sometimes he tries to dumpster dive or counter surf, but with on-time correction and loving rewards, Nick moves on past those temptations very quickly. He is also learning that food is a regular part of his routine, and that he does not have to compete for it. Nick is a wonderful walker. He does not pull and knows to heel with a slight tug. He just discovered the squeaky toys and his playful side is starting to surface. If your current pet would not you mind sharing their toys, then Nick would be forever grateful. Nick’s ideal home would be with a family that is at home often and includes him in the activities or where he has some animal companionship. If left alone for too long, Nick might just decide to get mischievous and fall back old habits. Nick is a gem and a gentle giant. He is a smart boy and will continue to thrive in the right home and with the right pack.
Doll -- Adopted and living in Bakersfield
Racing Name: WW Watchout Doll
Age: 4 1/2 Sex: F Color: White, ticked and red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Doll is a very sweet, calm, and happy girl. Her favorite things to do is play fetch with her squeaky ball and to lay around the house. She shows no interest in other toys, just the ones that squeak. Doll likes her morning walks and shows interest in other dogs passing by. She has strong princess tendencies and would prefer to be an only dog so she can get all of the attention from her doting forever parent(s). She lives with cats and understands that they rule the house. She is also living with two greyhounds but is not very interested in being their best friend. Doll is also very sensitive and a stern voice will hurt her feelings. She lives to please and play. What can we say, she is a true princess.
Jaylene -- Adopted and living in Whittier
Racing Name: J's Good Fortune
Age: 6 Sex: F Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: N/Y
Jaylene has become the queen of the squeaker and the “Grand grey” in her foster home. She likes to initiate play with the other dogs but lets them know that she is in charge. She is also a bit pushy with other dogs we meet, no matter their size. She is on alert for anything moving, whether human, cat or squirrel, so she still pulls a bit on walks. Given time she could get used to other breeds of dogs because she is now fine with the cats in her foster home. She will turn her head away when they walk through the house. If they are in her way, she will stop and whine or turn and go the other way. Jaylene loves attention and will give chin kisses if we get close to her. She has not jumped up on the couch but a couple of times we have picked her up and she has stayed on our laps for as long as we can stay put. Even though we walk five or six days a week, Jaylene enjoys a good run about once a week so a yard would be good for her. She turned 6 on April 13 and is busier than our younger greys.
Onyx -- Adopted and living in Bakersfield
Racing Name: Greyt Onyx
Age: 5 Sex: M Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Onyx is the perfect picture of a classic greyhound boy. He has a lush black coat, beautiful brown eyes, and a winning personality. Onyx was born, grew up and raced primarily in Phoenix. While in Phoenix he did not live on a "dog farm" but at the home of a small breeder which may explain his added people-pleasing personality. Onyx is a lover boy and there are not enough hours in the day for him to be petted. However, he is also a great sleeper. Every night he turns in early and hardly even rolls over. But the next morning he is up and ready to go for a long walk. Onyx thinks that fetching a tennis ball might be fun but so far he has only mastered the "chase and chew on the ball" part. He seems to want to play with the other greys but most of them seem to be too mature to play silly dog games. Don't get me wrong, he is 100% greyhound so he only plays for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. But since he does play actively we don't believe that apartment living would be a good fit for him. Onyx seems to be a very quick learner and has a somewhat unique talent. Unlike most greys, he can actually sit with his butt on the ground! We are guessing he learned to sit as a puppy before he built those big butt muscles. Though he might be happy as an only grey if his people were retired and could keep him company, he would most likely prefer the company of another playful dog. Though Onyx's chronological age is 5, you would never guess it when you meet him. He is just a special greyhound and very deserving of his track name Greyt Onyx.
Carl -- Adopted and living in Redlands
Racing Name: Kiowa Coin Carl
Age: 2 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Carl is just a wonder of a grey. He is big and easy going. He loves life and people. He is great on a leash and loves to take long walks so he can check out his new world. He is just fine with other dogs and just seems happy to be out of that heat in Arizona. One of his favorite things is hanging out around the pool and watching the grandchildren play.
Fallon -- Adopted and living in Pasadena
Racing Name: Hallo Mr Fallon
Age: 2 Sex: M Color: White and black
Small dog/cat tolerant: W/N
Fallon is a young and very striking hound. His colors, black and white, are not unusual but the way they cover him are. He is on the small size for a male, about the size of an average female. He is guaranteed to pick you up even on the gloomiest days and keep you happy for many years to come. Fallon likes to go anywhere, any time and is not upset if left behind, He takes in stride whatever comes his way. He enjoys the company of another greyhound and whippet he is currently living with but would probably do Ok on his own. Cats and small fluffy dogs are all like rabbits to him so he really needs to be on his lead. He does greet any sized dog on a leash appropriately and is well heeled on a walk. He loves kids and behaves very well around them. Everything is a toy to Fallon and he is a quick learner who has learned to keep to his assigned toys. His favorite thing is to be rubbed from ears to tail. Frequently he greets with a toothy greyhound smile and a little dance like he is riding a pogo stick jumping up and down. If you love fun and play, this handsome boy is for you.
Georgy -- Adopted and living in Venice
Racing Name: Kiowa Gyorgy
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: M Color: Dark brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Georgy is a fun, confident, and curious boy. He’s very friendly and wants to meet everyone he sees. He is doing very well living with one other greyhound. He hasn’t had any accidents in the house and he mastered the dog door in three days. He’s discovered toys and likes chewing on them and carrying them to his favorite spots in the house. Although that might mean the occasional bathroom rug on his bed, he responds well to corrections and is learning his rules and manners. He’s a fast learner and has almost learned the down command. Georgy likes to be near his humans and always welcomes petting and love.
Miss Kitty -- Adopted and living in Alta Loma
Racing Name: Deerfield Kitty
Age: 4 Sex: F Color: White with black ticking
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Miss Kitty is one of the sweetest, happiest girls we have ever known! She has very happy eyes that just sparkle when she looks at you. She is well behaved in the house and learned to follow the three other greys outside to go potty the first day. Miss Kitty met the elusive cat, Kato, and barely noticed he was in the same room. Kato usually dislikes the fosters that stay with us but just purred when he was near her so she would do fine in a home with a cat or two. She has a healthy appetite and is learning to wait her turn for her meals. She knows which toys are ok to chew on and which things are not. She really likes to shake the stuffies but hasn’t really made them squeak yet. Miss Kitty gets a little excited when first going on a walk but quickly settles down and is very good on the leash. Miss Kitty hops right in the car and settles down easily. She has learned to share her humans with the other greyhounds, is never far from our sides and follows us wherever we go. She doesn’t like being totally alone, so should probably have another dog for company if her humans are gone some of the time. With her sweet nature and happy, loving eyes, she will easily be a wonderful addition to someone’s family and find her forever home.
Emily -- Adopted and living in Yukaipa
Racing Name: High Energy Girl
Age: 4 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Emily is an extremely sweet, quiet, well-behaved, petite brindle girl with beautiful, dark eyes. She loves her daily walks and is very social and curious with other animals and people of all ages. She is still mastering walking on the leash, but isn’t difficult to walk. With a bit more training will have it mastered. She has made friends with the two male greys in her foster home and enjoys romping in the backyard with them. Emily also likes her independence and may do fine as an only dog if not left alone for long hours. She has no problem sleeping in the other room if all the beds in the bedroom are occupied. Emily likes having the freedom to play with her toys in the house and outside in the backyard and doesn’t need a sidekick to have fun. It is so cute to watch her throw her toys up in the air. She would love to find a forever home that has a doggie door and a small area for her to play in. She is curious in the kitchen but isn’t tall enough to counter surf and doesn’t beg. She eats regularly twice a day and doesn’t mind if the boys sample her food. She hasn’t quite figured out that they all eat the same thing. Emily seems to enjoy car rides and likes to stick her head out the window and catch the breeze. She is very adaptable and will make her forever home so happy!
Haley -- Adopted and living in Fountain Valley
Racing Name: Hallo In A Photo
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: F Color: White and fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Haley is really sweet girl. She's a bit shy but is really enjoying her two canine housemates, a Boxer and a Puggle. She likes her people too and gets quite excited when we get home after work. She has been a perfect girl in the house and has not had even one accident. Though she gets along great with the other dogs, she might be OK as an only dog if her people could spend some quality time with her. She'd also enjoy napping in the yard--she does like hanging and sleeping outside for short periods of time. More importantly she loves her bed and her new life.
Cate -- Adopted and living in Chatsworth
Racing Name: AF's Fruitcake
Age: 5 1/2 Sex: F Color: Red fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: W/N
Cate is always in a big hurry to see what or who is outside in the yard or what is going on. Once she gets to go on a walk she does well on the leash and is eager to explore. She is very friendly and playful, and would love to crawl into your lap and cuddle--at least until some new adventure comes along. She has bonded quickly to her foster mom and will follow her from room to room and lay at her feet for a few minutes. Although she lives with cats, she can't go to a home with them. They are just too tempting! She rides very well in the car and has mastered the dog door. Cate was a very experienced racer with 300+ races, mostly in Arizona, and won many a race. So now she is putting just as much effort into her new life as a family companion. At least for now, she has more energy than most retired greys and would prefer to go to a home with a yard and maybe another dog.
Alley -- Adopted and living in Cardiff by the Sea
Racing Name: Boc's Alleyoop
Age: 4 1/2 Sex: F Color: Blue brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: N/N
Alley has come into her own as the only princess in her foster home. She just has to contend with her foster brothers now. It took her a while to master the dog door, but she never had an accident in the house. She is starting to play with the toys and loves to play in the water of the kiddie pool. She loves to go on walks and doesn't pay attention to the other dogs she sees and the traffic noise, trash trucks., and street sweepers don't bother her. She settles down in the car when going for a ride. Alley is pretty confident and could probably be an only dog, and she may prefer being the house princess!
Ale -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles
Racing Name: Ale Lights Out
Age: 2 Sex: M Color: White and black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Ale is a very young, playful, good looking and healthy greyhound. He is a big strong and somewhat goofy boy who needs a little guidance. He is very responsive, sensitive, and smart. Like most dogs, he is super motivated to please. He is so happy and full of life sometimes he needs to be reminded starting out on the walk who is in charge. If he were Santa’s reindeer he would want to control where the sleigh was headed! Speaking of Santa this dog loves kids all kids. When he meets anyone new expect a big smile, tail wagging and a look that says, "Hey, aren’t you going to give me some attention." He is so happy to meet new people sometimes he doesn’t understand that every person doesn't always understand a large dog greeting them like he's their long lost friend. Ale loves all dog toys and understands the difference from his toys and his foster dad's like the TV remote for instance. Ale will chase and retrieve a tennis ball until your arm is sore from throwing it. He has met many dogs of all breeds and sizes and when possible loves to play chase with them. He loves to be included in any and all activities so the ideal adopter will need to have the new addition be a big part of the family.
Hali -- Adopted and living in Temple City
Racing Name: Hallo Cash Nell
Age: 2 1/2 Sex: F Color: White and brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Hali has been a joy to live with. She has been the easiest foster we have ever had, and we've had a number of them. She learned the dog door on the first day and has never had an accident inside. She gets along with and loves all the hounds and small dogs here. She often curls up with her big foster brothers. She is so cute that they seem happy to share their space with her. She loves the children here and is very gentle with them. She is so happy, she wags her whole body. She likes to ride in the car and go for walks and loves to meet new people. We haven't seen any sign of bed, food or toy possessiveness. She has a larger than life personality packed into a smaller then average greyhound body. You can't help but love her!
Ray -- Adopted and living in Whittier
Racing Name: Kiowa Reimer
Age: 2 Sex: M Color: Black tuxedo
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/W
Ray is delightful and very affectionate. He has a beautiful black coat with white tips on his tail, hind paws, chin, and belly. Ray learned to use a doggy door in just one day and responds well to "come" and "look out." He is good on the leash and he sleeps quietly by our bed at night. Ray loves rawhide chews and to play with his toys. Sometimes he can’t resist taking small objects that have our scent on them but he is learning that this is not good practice. He can be quite expressive--telling us with a howl or "roo" that breakfast or dinner is late. Ray does well left alone during the day. He gets along well with other dogs that visit us and he is good with our toddler grandson. Ray will make a terrific pet for almost any situation we can think of.
Dude -- Adopted and living in Woodland Hills
Racing Name: none
Age: 6 1/2 Sex: M Color: White and black with ticking
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Dude is one amazing greyhound. He used to live with six other dogs, several children and a collection of cats. He now lives in a foster home with two pre-teen children, a small, white terrier, and an alpha female greyhound. Although he is a very adaptable hound, he would really prefer his people and pet companions not to be gone all day long. If he had his way his people would work from home so they could keep him company. He loves children, pets and generally everything about the world! Dude is a master at finding food, so you have to keep the counters clear. Dude came to GreySave when he lost his home through no fault of his own. He has charmed his current foster parents, but they just can’t keep him.
Getty -- Adopted and living in Orange
Racing Name: GV Go Getter
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: M Color: White and red brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: W/Y
Getty is happy, curious, maybe a bit sneaky, but very social. He came to his foster home shy and a bit timid. But in a short time he mastered the hard surface floors, stairs, and the doggy door. Now toys are becoming important to him. As he has gotten more comfortable with his house mates, his sleep aggression has about disappeared and he is comfortable sleeping most anywhere. Getty is a very good eater. After he finishes eating, he waits patiently as the other three walk away from their bowls so he can quietly walk up and clean them out. Getty has made such an impression on his foster parents that they have failed Fostering and he will be staying with them. Yes, this is his Forever Home.
Cole -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles
Racing Name: Coins
Age: 4 Sex: M Color: White and brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Cole came to his foster home shy and a little scared of his new life off the track, but he has quickly adjusted to retirement. He is quick to learn and eager to please and curious about everything! His curiosity has led him to get into trouble on occasion with his foster dad, but a "no" solves the bad behavior. He has learning to be a good walker when out on a leash. He goes for walks several times a day since he lives in a townhouse. He thoroughly enjoys his one to two play dates a week at a house with a big back yard and another dog. A house with a yard and another dog or two would be just fine with Cole. He likes other dogs, cats, kids, adults and gets along well with his foster home's male grey. He rides well in the car but hasn't figured out how to get in the back seat by himself so he needs a little help. On the plus side, this means he doesn't get up on the couch even when his house mate does. Cole seems like he would do well in a home with children, with other dogs and may be equally comfortable in an adult-only home if he was not left alone a lot. All he wants is a little attention and a soft doggie bed to sleep on.
Dragon -- Adopted and living in Orange
Racing Name: Dave's Dragon
Age: 2 Sex: M Color: Red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/W
Dragon is a petite and happy little greyhound boy. He is living with several bossy grey girls and an overgrown greyhound puppy. Dragon has a very cute face with a widow's peak and light fawn coloring. He has very sensitive eyes and has stolen his foster mom's heart!
Mamie -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles--Silver Lake
Racing Name: Annual Tradition
Age: 7 Sex: F Color: Red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Mamie is a very sweet but somewhat reserved greyhound girl. She likes attention and loves to be petted, but is not pushy about it. She can get a bit concerned about loud noises and will hide if you drop something on the floor. She is also capable of great emotion and excitement when her favorite person comes into sight. Like Kai, she is a great walker and like him she recently lost her dad. Mamie is the more dependent of the pair and really needs to stay with her best friend Kai. If you have room in your heart and home for a great pair of greyhounds this is the couple you should meet.
Kai -- Adopted and living in Los Angeles--Silver Lake
Racing Name: Kiowa Wild Shot
Age: 5 1/2 Sex: M Color: White and black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Kai is the personification of the truly greyt greyhound. He has a wonderful and loving personality, seeks affection and is somewhat velcro. He is playful in the morning when it is walk time and then gets his 18 hours of crew rest later in the day. He loves walks and is a perfect gentleman on the leash. He even know some of the "real" dog walk commands like wait, stop and cross. Next to walks he loves best his meal times! Kai was previously adopted and was well cared for. Unfortunately, he lost his home due to the death of his adopter and would really would like to stay with his best friend Mamie.
Star -- Adopted and living in Bonsail
Racing Name: Self Starter
Age: 2 1/2 Sex: F Color: White and fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: TBD
Star came to us with a broken leg as well as a broken spirit due to mishandling somewhere before coming to GreySave. A dog that would cower in her bed when approached has now gone through a metamorphosis much like a beautiful butterfly. After lots of hard work, gentle hands, kindness, and love she is transforming into a loving greyhound when around humans she knows and trusts. She has been the foster home's biggest challenge to date and, at the same time, its most rewarding experience. She confirms the fact greyhounds make very outstanding pets. Star needs her space, but will always come to her humans to be petted and scratched when they are quiet. Star is the first dog to jump in the car--she loves to take a ride. Walks are a breeze--she very well behaved on leash and does not give any problem when passing dogs of any size. The challenges of life at the track are now in her rear view mirror as she continues to embrace life as a 45 mph couch potato. She goes to foster mom's side of the bed when it is time to get up and go for a walk. If foster dad takes too long a nap, she will go up to him and let out a gentle woof. If that gets no response the next woof is a little louder. Star has now discovered how fun the dog’s toy basket can be. Her table manners and home skills are impeccable. She is looking for a very special home for her special needs. That would be a quiet home with adults and one or more dogs to give her the confidence and loveshe needs to help her continue to build that needed trust. If you think you are that special home, she could be your special girl!
Tango -- Adopted and living in Rancho Santa Margarita
Racing Name: GS Tango
Age: 3 Sex: F Color: Fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Tango is a pretty light fawn girl that has been quite a pleasure to have as a foster. She made herself right at home from the very start. She is living with male grey and they are doing quite well together. The very first day she followed him in through the doggie door and out again and has had no accidents of any kind. Tango decovered the toy box the first night and by the next afternoon had taken every toy out of the box and tested all of the squeekers! She is a natural at playing. The foster mom thinks she would be the happiest with another dog but might be Ok solo if her human was around a lot. She walks well on a leash with the assistance of a gentle leader. She rides well in the car rider though she stands up for awhile on each ride and then relaxes for the rest of the trip. She is a quiet little greyhound girl until she wants to play and then she will play bow and bark to get her playmate's attention. Tango usually sleeps all night but will go if she needs to but comes right back in and goes back to bed. She is a fabulous eater and does not plan to miss any meals in her foster or future Forever home.
Therese -- Adopted and living in Simi Valley
Racing Name: Starz Toptwister
Age: 3 Sex: F Color: Dark brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Therese is a friendly and gentle greyhound that loves going on walks more than anything. She is also a little smaller than the average grey--a "pocket greyhound." She is a little timid, but has already shown progress with TLC and lots of attention. Therese will make a great companion to an owner who dotes on her and doesn’t leave her alone for long periods of time. She gets along well with the two other greys in her foster home and loves to sun herself in the backyard with them. She dislikes noise and when the two greys start playing too rambunctiously, she quietly slips out of the room. Unlike the typical grey, she has a big bark that she uses in "guard-dog mode" when she sees or hears something outside that just isn’t right to her. Therese is an adorable grey who is easy to live with and who just needs a nurturing home to completely come out of her shell.
Nova -- Adopted and living in Sherman Oaks
Racing Name: Innovation
Age: 5 Sex: F Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Nova is very sweet, shy, quiet, and well-behaved girl. She is respectful of our two cats. Nova is smart and has adjusted well to living in an apartment. She has already learned not to pull on her leash when walking, to potty only outside, and to go lay down when told. She is curious about all the other dogs she meets when out on a walk, especially the dogs closer to her size. Although Nova is the only dog in her foster home, she would do well in a home with another dog. She also may be fine as an only dog if her people have some quality time to spend with her when they are home.
Rico -- Adopted and living in Simi Valley
Racing Name: Rico's Burbank
Age: 3 Sex: M Color: White and red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Rico is an attractive, energetic, fun-loving boy. He has an outgoing personality and curiosity that knows no bounds. Like most youngsters, Rico thinks nothing could be better than a dip in the cool water of the wading pool on a warm summer day. He just lies there with his head on the side and watches the clouds drift by. After a leisurely soak, Rico bounces out of the water for a quick game of tug of war with the towel. Everything is a game, whether it's tossing toys, playing peek-a-boo with the handsome hound in the mirror, or running laps in the yard with the other two greyhounds in the family. However he is very respectful of the two cats who live here. Rico does well at the Meet & Greets, wagging his tail and smiling at the passing crowd. His striking good looks definitely draw attention to this charming fellow.
Irish -- Adopted and living in Simi Valley
Racing Name: Irish Redd
Age: 3 3/4 Sex: F Color: Red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Irish is a sweet and lively fawn girl who is thoroughly enjoying her retirement. At almost three years old, Irish is full of energy and curiosity. She has a spunky personality and likes to flash a toothy grin when approaching you for affection. Irish loves to balance her time between playing with squeaky toys, napping comfortably, and getting lots of hugs from her foster family. Currently, Irish is living with three other greyhounds and an Italian Greyhound. Irish would do best as an only dog in a home where her family could spend a good deal of time with her, or in a home with other dogs who don't mind letting her be the leader of the pack. This fun-loving girl is excited to find her forever home.
Cody -- Adopted and living in Temple City
Racing Name: CDC Cody
Age: 2 1/2 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Cody has soulful eyes and a demeanor that makes him seem older than he is. He lives with four greyhounds and one elusive cat. He is curious about the cat but quickly backed away when Kato "spoke" to him. He is a little timid when you first meet him and follows his foster mom everywhere. He definitely needs to be near people. Cody has a very good appetite and doesn’t show any aggression when eating. He knows to wait his turn at meal time and not get too close to the other dogs while they’re eating. He learned the potty rules from the other dogs and follows them when any of the dogs go outside or come back in. He settles down in the car after a few minutes and is excellent on walks. Cody went to his first meet and greet and met the little dogs and got along fine with them. He loves to play with toys and chew on bones. Cody’s greatest joy is to go outside first thing in the morning and sprint around the yard, with or without the other dogs chasing him. He really loves to run so his next home should have a yard for him to play in. He definitely could not be an only dog since he really needs the companionship of another dog. Cody was our foster boy last fall and was returned to Greysave through no fault of his own. Cody is such a sweet boy, and if we didn’t already have four greyhounds he would have found his forever home.
Essy -- Adopted and living in Simi Valley
Racing Name: WW Essy's Time
Age: 4 1/2 Sex: F Color: Red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Essy's big beautiful eyes express her personality perfectly. She is full of love, curiosity, and playfulness. She has an extra-strong desire to please her people. She likes to keep her eyes on her foster mom, but doesn't crowd her. She has adapted well to all the new rules and strange experiences of retired life. Essy seemed to fit in right away with her new foster family. The other grey that lives there soon became her best buddy. She loves going for a walk and is a perfect lady on her leash. She greets new humans and dogs very politely. The foster mom reports that she is still working on playing nicer with cats and the resident cats have gone in hiding! Essy enjoys playing with her toys and shares well when the grandkids and their two Labs visit. Essy is not an only dog kind of girl and would prefer to live with another dog and maybe even with someone that works at home. Having her own dog-friendly child would be to her a bonus. Essy's forever home will quickly discover just how wonderfully special she is.
Tymee -- Adopted and living in Buena Park
Racing Name: Kiowa Time Me
Age: 2 1/2 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Tymee is a young, vibrant, energetic, and playful girl. She is happy all the time and jumps for joy (like Tigger) when greeting, playing and anticipating a meal or treat. She absolutely loves stuffies and empties the toy bin daily and takes the toys everywhere in the house. She likes to chase after tennis balls but has not learned to retrieve and release yet. She is very motivated to please and is in the process of learning all those rules we humans impose as well as a few manners. She lives with three greyhounds and gets along well with them. She wants very much to get up on foster mom's bed but knows that is not acceptable behavior for a foster girl. She gives gentle kisses and loves to lay her head on your lap and get ear scritches--and, of course, as much petting as a human will give. She uses the doggy door proficiently and has never had an accident. There are two cats that really just put up with the dogs and choose not to mingle much. Tymee watches them like a hawk and has sniffed with much interest but has broken off her gaze when called. She probably would be much more interested if they were in the yard and would likely chase them if given the opportunity. She likes to go for walks and would do well with kids and probably needs a yard to burn off all the energy.
Leon -- Adopted and living in Temecula
Racing Name: Kiowa Lee Leon
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: M Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Leon is a tall gorgeous black with a beautiful coat, an actually fluffy tail, and soulful eyes. All he wants to do is be petted as much as you have time for. To this end he will stand patiently about a foot away, waiting. When you start petting him, his patience is endless, but he never pesters you--he's too patient and dignified for that. He is living with two large dogs, two cats, and he gets along well with them all. He has also been around grandchildren and babies, and does very well with them, even when there's yelling and running. He also gives them the "I'm standing here, waiting for you to pet me" routine, but other than that, he lays down quietly. He virtually ignores the cats, expecially now that one of the cats slapped him, which hurt his feelings a lot, and scared him enough to make him leap back and fall over a potted plant! He is quiet around the house, eats well, enjoys being with the other dogs, but often lays down in the bedroom by himself. So he could be an only dog--if his people were around a lot. Having said that, he is just starting to try to play with the boxer mix, so company may become more important to him as he gets more comfortable. He rides well in the car, and loves to walk. Because of his quiet, dignified personality, he walks well, doesn't pull, and if you stop to talk, he just waits quietly. Unlike a lot of greys, he is not particularly attached to stuffed toys, although he is quite in love with the Swiffer mop. He is, however, beginning to carry his octopus around, which is the toy he picked for himself at Petco. He is really a great dog, and will make a wonderful companion for someone.
Hailey Rose -- Adopted and living in Altadena
Racing Name: So Much Trouble
Age: 4 Sex: F Color: White and black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
If you are looking for fun and lots of hugs and kisses then Hailey Rose is the girl for you. At just over four years old, Hailey Rose is enjoying her second chance at retirement after losing her adoptive home when her dad had to move in with his family. Hailey is was so happy to be with a GreySave foster family that her first move after entering the door was to jump on the couch and cuddle with the foster dad! You will not find a greyhound more loving or affectionate than Hailey. She lives for hugs and cuddles and would crawl right into your lap if she could! Hailey loves to be with people and craves just as much affection as she can get. She is currently living with four other greyhounds and does great with the pack but it is the people that matter most to her. Since she was left alone a lot in her old home, Hailey Rose would definitely be happiest in a home where her family can spend a good deal of time with her. She is an ideal people companion but would not mind a mellow grey buddy if she will be spending time on her own. SInce Hailey Rose has also lived with cats so does not mind sharing with them either.
Newton -- Adopted and living in Anaheim
Racing Name: Hilan Charge
Age: 7 3/4 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
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 gets along well with his two foster greyhounds and smaller dogs 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 his squeaky toys. He also likes to get on the couch and rest his head on your lap. Newton is a gentle boy, and would probably like a home with children and other pets to keep him company. He is in a foster home where the grandchildren are visiting very often and really likes them. He follows the seven-year-old granddaughter whe ever she is visiting and is very calm and gentle when the seven-month-old baby is around.
Broadie -- Adopted and living in Pasadena
Racing Name: Kiowa Broadie
Age: 4 1/2 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
It would be hard to imagine a more friendly, playful and loving animal than Broadie. He loves to play fetch, play with his stuffies, go on rides in the car, and take long walks. He's a fast learner and learned how to open doors on his first day! He also mastered the art of house training after his second day as well as stairs and hardwood floors. He has settled well into life in an apartment with no backyard. He walks well on the leash with his greyhound roomie. He's a big goofy cuddlebug who loves to be within arms reach for easy petting access. Given the opportunity he would be thrilled to become the world's largest lap dog. He currently lives with another greyhound and they get along famously. When he gets really excited he "talks" a little (some might call it a "roo"). So far within the past three weeks we have only heard him bark two or three times. Broadie would do best in a home with people who are around often and with another greyhound friend to keep him company.
Zephyr -- Adopted and living in Granada Hills
Racing Name: Nojos Dark Nite
Age: 3 Sex: M Color: Black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Zephyr is a very handsome boy with a shiny black coat and expressive brown eyes. He loves to just hang out with his foster family. He likes to play and is learning the importance of playing "softly" with his foster family. He has an impressive "roo" when he gets excited. Zephyr is a very loving and attentive boy who really enjoys his daily walks. But at times, when he on a leash, he gets spooked by fast-moving dogs and will show some fear aggression. The good news is that he is working hard to learn to remain calm and be a good ambassador while on his walks. When not on a leash, he does fine with all sizes of dogs. His forever home will need to continue working with him so that he feels safe while out walking. Zephyr currently lives with three house cats, a whippet and two other greyhounds. He does not play much with the resident dogs but knows they are there to keep him company. He would probably not be happy as an only dog. He sleeps well at night and enjoys the use of a doggie door during the day. He has learned to sit on command, especially if there is a tasty treat involved. Zephyr is looking for a forever home that will make him feel safe from those small ankle biters while he is walking and will provide him the firm, stead but loving attention he thrives on.

Age: 4 Sex: F Color: White and black
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
C.C. is a beautiful and fun-loving girl. She is very affectionate with her foster family, which includes three cats, a whippet and two greyhounds. She loves to play with her foster humans. C.C. is shy when meeting strangers, but she is slowly learning to relax and accept a friendly touch.

Oakley -- Adopted and living in Fountain Valley
Racing Name: Okie Smokering
Age: 10 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Oakley is a lovely, quiet, senior lady who seems younger than her calendar years. She has had lots of life experience that she would love to share. She ran in 114 races before retiring to a farm to become a mom to six racing greys. Later adopted out for several years, Oakley recently lost her forever home due to no fault of her own. Now in a foster home with three other greys and a cat, Oakley is settling in to yet another new chapter in her life. She loves to go for walks and rides well in the car. At Meet & Greets she is unfazed by small animals and busy store traffic. She loves to watch the parade of people, get her share of petting, and will lean into you to get a good neck rub. Although she doesn’t play with toys, she is always eager to go outside for play time with her new pack and referee her new pack members while they romp and race. Oakley would do well in a home that offers her a quality life and lots of company, love, and hugs.
Rita -- Adopted and living in West Covina
Racing Name: Red I Reward
Age: 4 3/4 Sex: F Color: Fawn brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/W
Rita is a beautify-colored fawn girl and a total wiggle worm. She has a torn Achilles tendon and does not understand why she has to drag around the splint and bandage that is all the way up her thigh. She tore her tendon within spitting distance of the finish line while she was coming in first, so she went quickly from 30+ MPH to the end of the line. Her injury is quite unusual so it will be a couple of months before we know how well the tendon has healed since surgery. In the meantime, she is enjoying life as a pet. She lives with five other greyhounds, loves to go for the short walks she is allowed, and especially loves to ride in the car. Rita has become a first class Meet & Greet host and seems to take the little dogs that come to check her out in stride. She displays a funny and unique greyhound behavior: when you talk to her or go to pet her, she just wiggles all over. The foster home is not sure what she is trying to do but it is unique! She is also a big talker, and every morning she wakes up from her long night's sleep with something to say.
Whoopi -- Adopted and living in Chatsworth
Racing Name: Bella Whoopi
Age: 3 1/2 Sex: F Color: Red fawn
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Whoopi is a carefree and delightful girl who will quickly steal your heart. At just three years old, she relishes her retirement. Whoopi's big eyes and bright smile bring joy to anyone who sees her. She has an incredibly positive spirit and is extremely affectionate. Whoopie's favorite pastime is to collect toys on her bed and then play with them all. She loves to interact with people and other greyhounds. Whoopi gets along very well with the four other greyhounds in her foster pack. She learned her potty training wonderfully and enjoys having time outdoors. She would probably do best in a home where her family could spend a good deal of time with her, or where she has another canine buddy to pal around with.

Age: 4 Sex: F Color: Brindle

Fergi -- Adopted and living in Glendora
Racing Name: Mulberry Fergi
Age: 2 Sex: F Color: Red
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/Y
Fergi is a very petite package, with a huge personality and the most beautiful face and eyes. Her picture doesn't do her justice. She does the doggy door and stairs with no problem, and she can sail over a three-foot-high dog gate with ease if she thinks she'll miss something. Fergi has found that toys are fun and loves to have us throw a ball so she can bring it back. She loves to give kisses and likes to nibble on her foster mom's toes in the morning or hold her wrist with her mouth as she walks through the house. She is living with four other greyhounds. Although she is very independent, she plays with them some. She loves kids, but would probably do better with older kids who she couldn't easily knock down when she gets playful. Fergi will be a very bright spot in your day. She needs her own family, so the foster family doesn't end up keeping her.

Racing Name: KMA Cabana Boy
Age: 3 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Small dog/cat tolerant: Y/N

He has developed a strong liking to stuffed toys or anything he thinks could be fun to play with or maybe even taste test. Height is not problem when Cabana has his sights on what he wants, and, yes, he will get it. He has a Huck Finn personality and innocent looks so it is hard to be angry with him when he gets into mischief. He is looking for a family who wants the special experience of raising a greyhound into adulthood. He can be busy boy but is a fun dog and will be a greyt greyhound companion for the right family.

She mastered the dog door on her first day and has never had an accident in the house. She is enjoying her retirement and is ready for her forever home.
