Conrad - Adopted and Living in Torrance
Racing Name: Slatex Conrad
Age: 3.7 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Homecoming Ht: 30.0 - Wt: 73.4
Medium dog - Y, Small dog -N, Cat tolerant - N
Conrad is a well- mannered gentleman of a dog who respects his fellow greyhounds and their space.
He does not get on the furniture and is quite happy on his bed on the floor. Stealing food from the kitchen counter is a newly acquired skill but he knows it is forbidden and looks appropriately guilty for a few hours afterwards.
Conrad adores his foster mom and sticks to her like Velcro as he follows ger everywhere. However, he does not show any separation anxiety when left home alone.
Conrad does not like to be in a X-pen. When he first came off the track and was placed in an X-pen, he maneuvered it into the next room while the other dogs were being walked! Once released, he has refused to enter the confines of an X-pen ever again.
Conrad has a healthy but not excessive appetite and prefers meat / lamb or chicken- based kibble. He is very reluctant to eat fish- based food.
Walks with Conrad are delightful as he does not pull, and enjoys stopping to chat to the neighbors. His beautiful brindle coat ensures he gets a lot of attention. He does not pee or poop while on his walks and needs to be off leash for this to occur. If he spots a crow, he eagerly shows his enthusiasm to bring it home for dinner. Cats and small dogs elicit a similar response. He needs to go to a home without cats, small dogs, or birds and with a secure yard.
Conrad has healed well from a broken leg has been medically cleared for adoption.

Hawkeye is a curious, sweet guy. He's a good walker, is a thorough eater, and gets along great with other dogs. He is still figuring out life in retirement. He likes the safety of his crate and will warn you when there is an intruder on the couch in the dark (which is usually a large blanket). He makes a good only, as he loves his people. He can be shy around new people, but he warms up quickly. He's an all around nice guy.

Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant -N
Alexa is a petite and gentle Greyhound seeking a loving home where she can continue to blossom into the incredible companion she is. Her favorite foods are anything salmon, turkey, or peanut butter flavored.
Like most greyhounds, She is a laid-back dog and a proper couch potato, content to spend most of her day lounging and napping. However, when it's time for a walk or run outside, she comes alive! Her brindle coat grabs the attention of neighbors during walks. She can enjoy walks and/or runs of 1-2 miles at a time, and if she has a canine companion to run with, she's even more motivated to go the extra mile.
Alexa thrives in social environments. Her tail wags the most when with other dogs, both big & small. She lives in an apartment and has had no accidents, quickly learning her designated potty break spot. She is also comfortable using stairs and can easily navigate a multi-level home. While Alexa is perfectly content to relax at home, she does experience separation anxiety when left alone. Her foster is working with her daily to increase the time she is comfortable alone. However, she is fine when another dog or any human is home with her. She loves companionship and would thrive in a home where she is not left alone for extended periods.
If you are looking for a gentle, loving, and social companion, Alexa is the perfect dog. She is a true gem who will bring joy and companionship to your life.

Meg is shy, but very petite and sweet dog. She is initially quite reserved in new situations but once she gets comfortable she has a sweet, affectionate, and spunky personality. She was very quick to learn about and appreciate treats and dog toys in her retirement as well as a soft beds and walks. Meg is very interested in small dogs on walks and is learning not to pull hard on the leash when she sees small dogs. Meg is also very smart and has learned the household routines rapidly. She gets on well with the other greyhounds in the household as long as they respect her personal space.

Age: 4.7 Sex: F Color: Dk Brindle
Homecoming Ht: 27 Wt:56
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - N, Cat tolerant - N
Suri is lots of sweetness and curiosity bundled up in the cutest little frame— with four white socks and a matching cotton tipped tail. She’s quite sociable and enjoys meeting new people, especially after they’ve complimented her striking appearance.
Despite having raced 259 times, she has settled into couch potato life seamlessly. She loves car rides, long scritch sessions, bounding up and down stairs, playing and cuddling with stuffies, and going on walks with our female grey. She walks wonderfully on leash, whether alone or with another dog. Suri loves to jump for squirrels and food! But she is respectful and will not put paws on you (though she will need a high fence if she is off-leash). Additionally, she has shown some promise for making an okay guard dog, but in true greyhound fashion, the conditions must be just right to get an alert bark.
While she enjoys the company of our grey, she prefers to learn the ropes of retirement on her own and would do well as an only dog. She is highly trainable between her passion for food and praise, and will make a wonderful addition to any household where someone is home most of the time.

Buster -- Adopted and Living in Woodland Hills
Racing Name: Bustamove
Age: 4.7 Sex: F Color: Black
Homecoming Ht: 28.75 Wt: 61.6
Medium dog - TBD, Small dog -N, Cat tolerant - N
Buster is a sweetheart! He was so willing to learn about his new environment, took to the dog door within two days and is learning about his new human pack, who sleeps where, and who is coming and going. He’s very calm, and sweet, loves to be petted and roll on his back, and sleeps very deeply. He’s not at all nervous about doors, or narrow spaces - but will try and snag things from counters. He likes to be near a person but will sleep quite happily on his bed as long as he knows you are in the house and doesn’t need to follow you everywhere. Living up to his name, he does bump into things a bit, but loves his stuffies once in a while and even did his first zoomie yesterday. He is fascinated by squirrels but has learned to walk very nicely on the leash, especially well down the front stairs, learning to wait. He has a very reactive sleep startle, so we are careful with giving him his own sleep space, but we can see him becoming a very lovely companion. Slowly gaining weight. He hasn’t been introduced to any other dogs yet - though was rather startled and quite dominant over a small fluffy dog that was loose and ran over to us, so we’ll be careful about those future interactions. We adore him!

Lucky is a big, beautiful, happy boy. He loves getting love and is very friendly. He greets everyone he meets with an enthusiastic, wagging tail. Lucky is loving retired life. He has a love of long naps on plushy soft beds and also is very enthusiastic about feeding times and special treats. He is also starting to discover the joy of playing with squeaky toys. Lucky really enjoys his walks, and is still working a bit on his leash manners. He is very interested in small dogs and cats, and would do better in a home without small animals since he has displayed a continued desire to chase small, fluffy animals. He shares his foster home with a few other greyhounds including an older male, a bossy older female and a playful younger female. He gets along well with all of these different personalities since he is a very “go with the flow” type of guy. He also does well with being home without his humans while in the company of other dogs. He would probably enjoy joining a family with at least one other dog, but also might do well as an only dog so long as the humans were home much of the time.

(photo and testing from 6 years ago)
Cedric is returning to Greysave as both the new resident toddler and his diva greyhound sister have been stressing him out considerably. He would be okay as an only dog if he wasn’t alone all day or he would do well with another laidback medium to large size canine companion. Cedric cannot live with cats, and if he is in the presence of a high energy dog, his prey drive will kick in. A calm environment would be best, and if children are in the family, then 7 years and older would be ideal.
He can be a timid dog who startles easily with loud noises and sudden movements. He typically does not like his personal space to be invaded and will growl and/or snap if you get too close to him while he is on his bed or lying down. Over the years, he has become more comfortable with closer proximity to us and accepts our hugs and kisses, but exercise caution when you first get to know him.
Cedric will do anything for food, and he will follow you around to remind you of mealtimes. He does demonstrate food guarding, so distraction is key if you need to take something out of his mouth or away from him. Place food in the middle of the table or on a higher counter because Cedric will swipe things that are within his snoot’s range.
He receives three meals a day with a mixture of kibble and raw meat with a poultry foot for dessert after dinner, but as long as Cedric is fed, he will be content. He is rather snobby about water as it MUST be flavored. Even if it is a very hot day, he will refuse to drink water unless there is something else mixed with it. We typically soak his food with water, so he gets some hydration.
Cedric enjoys walks and lounging around and has never expressed interest in toys unless there is food involved like a snuffle mat or a food filled Kong. He walks well on a leash, but can get triggered and start barking if he sees large, animated dogs. He stays off furniture and has always used a dog door, but should be okay as long as he is taken out regularly if he doesn’t have access to a door. He currently lives in a single level home, but he can definitely learn how to do stairs if needed.
We are incredibly sad for Cedric to leave our family, but he deserves to live out his golden years in a peaceful home sans unpredictable toddler and bossy sister. We have every confidence that he will find a loving home that he will thrive and blossom in.

Gadot has come to us through no fault of her own. Her mom is relocating out of the country, and she needs a new forever home. Godot never raced, but she loves to run and chase her foster brother and sister in the yard. And when her brother hears a critter noise outside at night, Godot is right at his heels to investigate. She sleeps well and night and LOVES to go for walks. Even a move towards the leashes brings her to her feet in excitement. She is very friendly, but shy. Once she gets to know you, she's a cuddler ,but she's a bit hesitant at first and takes a while to warm up. New things make her nervous, even to eating out of a new dish (especially if it MOVES while she's eating!) Godot is a beautiful little girl who would need another grey in her new home, and a family that is not gone all day. Small kids are not her favorite, only because they move quickly, which makes her nervous. It is not yet known how she feels about small dogs, but she is not reactive on a walk, noticing squirrels and cats, but not reacting strongly. Godot would make a greyt addition to a home with an established grey to make her feel safe. And then she'll be ready to give some first class snuggles to her new family!

Medium dog - Y, Small dog -N, Cat tolerant - N
Murphy is a delightful dog, who sits ALL the time, and seems to get along with just about everyone (unless they have a cat or squirrel in their pocket). He is a rabid eater, and fond of all types of treats, but he is very respectful of the resident dogs, and waits for them to go first. Murphy rides well in the car, and is getting better on a leash, though unusual noises and little furry things are still a distraction. He gets along very well with his two foster brothers, as well as the visiting pitt mix. He is crazy for toys, the squeakier the better, but so far shows no desire to destroy them. He also loves to carry his foster moms shoes to his bed, but has not shown an interest in in chewing them. Murphy is really an all around pretty perfect greyhound (with soulful eyes that follow you everywhere!), but he would need another canine buddy in the house. As it is, he is not very happy when his foster mom leaves, although after a few minutes, he will settle, and lay down with his foster brothers.

Three year old Bo is a handsome, energetic guy who is sure to turn heads while out on a walk. This big boy is a combination of good looks and gentle demeanor. Bo’s curiosity knows no bounds. Everything is new and exciting like sleeping in soft beds, rolling in the grass, or standing next to you to be petted and adored. Bo shares his home with two other greyhounds who have taught him to use the doggy door, climb stairs, and ignore the strange dog in the mirror.
This delightful fellow would do well with another dog to keep him company or someone who is home most of the time.

Medium dog - Y, Small dog -Y, Cat tolerant - N
Chase is a handsome big red boy with a sweet and calm demeanor. He lives with another foster (Tik Tok) and HRH Annie, and they all get along well. Chase is happy with letting the others be dominant, preferring to follow their lead or just take naps.
He walks well on a leash, and although he is very alert to other small animals, he doesn’t show high prey drive behavior from a distance. He also doesn’t show food aggression, resource guarding or sleep startle. He is still a bit “eager” when taking treats from your hand, especially if other dogs are around, but is getting better.
He was a bit timid at first, but has become confident when there are no humans, but the other greys are home. Chase enjoys cuddling, but will give a small growl if his boundaries are crossed (the only one i know if is he doesn’t like his legs being confined).
Chase has his “Dog Door“ and “Expressive Ears” certificates of achievement.
Because of his generally calm demeanor, Chase would be good for someone interested in a big dog that won’t knock you over and drag you along on a walk. He seems to appreciate the leadership of other greys and probably not good as an only, unless his humans are not gone too long.

Miranda - Adopted and Living in Glendale
Racing Name: KD's Miranda
Age: 3.9 Sex: F Color: Red
Homecoming Ht: 27.5 Wt: 61.0
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - N, Cat tolerant - N
Miranda is a good fit in our pack of two other greyhounds in our *one-story home. She is not food aggressive and eats in her own space with the two other dogs in close proximity.
She fits in with other greyhounds whom we walk with on Sundays (up to 18 hounds). She has a curiosity of smaller animals, and non-greyhound dogs; not certain if it's high prey drive. Small, calm children are fine with her. She is cautious but not aggressive when meeting new people. She is confident and may be a ok as an "only" dog.
Miranda walks well on leash by herself and doesn't pull you off balance. Sometimes she will follow too closely as you walk in the house and may cause a trip-up. *Stairs are do-able for her minimal practice on the kiddie park apparatus. She is accustomed to daily walks along a busy street and through a pond/park area with geese and ducks without issue.
Miranda is extremely affectionate. While not allowed on furniture, she snuggles anyone floor level, and on any of many dog beds throughout our home. She prefers to sleep in one of two crates in our bedroom rather than a dog bed. Crate doors are not shut.
She is learning manners. She is not tall enough to see what's on a counter, so she'll put her paws up to confirm what's up. Miranda's learned boundaries, no kitchen access allowed. She won't enter even if the access gate is ajar. Miranda has access to a large doggie door (with no flap) and easily uses it.

Learned the doggie door in a few days and loves to watch tv! She moved in and stole our hearts. Even Ashley , my older grey, seems to like her more and more!

Issac is a sweet Velcro dog. He loves being around his humans and will follow you anywhere you go. He is very food driven and makes attempts to scout the kitchen counters anytime someone is there. He takes corrections very well, so a firm “no” is all that’s needed to correct his behavior. He is still learning how to navigate the staircase. But he is smart and will eventually master it. He gets along very well with our senior female Grey. He loves running errands with us and gets super excited when he receives attention from strangers.

Toby is a sweet darling little girl who will actually “sit” like a regular dog! She loves cuddling and is very affectionate. She is food motivated and is aware things are on the counter, but her petite stature makes it difficult for her to successfully purloin your pork loin. She tugs a bit on walks, but is improving, and gets along with all the dogs and cats she meets on walks. About the only thing she doesn't do well with is riding in cars; she stays calm, but has a very sensitive stomach.

Medium dog - Y, Small dog -W, Cat tolerant - N
Tik Tok is a tall and gentle grey, who is very fond of humans! He will follow you around waiting for you to pet him, and will not walk away until you stop. He melts in your arms, and holds his head high on walks, so that you (or at least ME, at 5’9”) can just reach your hand down and pat his head. He is learning to play with toys (particularly likes the squeaky ones) and gets along well with the other greys in the house (including foster Chase), paying appropriate homage and respect to HRH Annie.
Tik Tok apparently has epicurean tendencies, and will watch intently when food is getting prepared, eaten, carried, put away, etc. If you leave a string cheese wrapper on the bedside table, or the lid to the pint of cream on the kitchen counter, he will remember it is there (because of course he watched you put it there), and will come back later to get it. He is slowly learning how to wait for other greys to be fed before he gets his, and that humans are also allowed to eat in peace.
Tik Tok walks well on a leash. He is constantly on the lookout for small animals, and while he will make the leash taut when he sees one, he does not pull or lunge to get it, at least at a fair distance. I would not consider him “high prey drive,” but definitely not cat tolerant. Aren’t many small dogs in the neighborhood to check more thoroughly.
Although he is very food motivated, he has no issues with food aggression (i’ve reached in to remove his food), resource guarding, or sleep startle. He has also earned his “How to Use the Dog Door” and “Helicopter Tail” certificates of achievement.
He can tolerate being alone for several hours, and could probably be an only dog if the family isn’t gone for extended periods of time (ie he gets his cuddling needs met).
Tik Tok would be a great dog for someone looking for a calm cuddler and/or a family with younger children (supervise them on walks).
