Our Greyhounds
OUR GREYHOUNDS

Our Available hounds
Update September 2024. GreySave worked with Fast Friends and Operation Greyhound to remove the last 150 greyhounds from the Caliente track located in Tijuana, after racing ended on July 14, 2024. All of the dogs that we have brought in have been adopted.
We will be taking in and processing a limited number of applications as we get a handful of greyhounds from a local shelter or as a bounce back when someone passes or has significant family changes. We do give priority to our current adopters and prior greyhound adopters from other groups but we still do place greyhounds with people with medium to large dog experience and a loving heart. . GreySave, like most greyhound adoption groups, has a policy of not adopting to families with children 6 years-old or younger. For more information on young children and greyhounds, see the articles at http://www.greysave.org/children--greys.html If you are interested in adopting a greyhound, complete the adoption application and an adoption representative will be in touch regarding the process. Available Hounds
Demi - Available
Racing Name: Gonz Mistica Age: 3.0 Sex: F Color: Black Homecoming Ht: 24.5 Wt: 54.00 Medium dog - Y, Small dog - N, Cat tolerant - N Demi is a high energy little charmer who came back to Greysave through no fault of her own. She is super affectionate,and loves to snuggle with her foster parents as well as her foster greyhound brothers. She's always up for a play session, and loves ripping through the dog door when she suspects a squirrel is taunting her from the back fence. Because of her interest in squirrels, as well as cats , small dogs and even birds, Demi would need to have a home without any of the above! She gets excited for walks, but when the door is actually open, becomes a little shy and hesitant. She walks willingly, but as soon as you turn for home, she will pull you down the street to get there if you let her! Same with car rides. She is anxious to go, but once in the car, her teeth are chattering and she curls up in corner. She would probably get over these things - it just needs time and repetition. Demi eats well, and sleeps through the night. She gets along better with males than females, and definitely needs a home with another grey or two. She might live with a female, but she does love the boys. She also loves toys, and will suddenly get the bug to play , and grab a stuffie and go crazy playing all by herself! If you'd like to add another grey to your pack, she's your girl !And she doesnt take up much room - curls up to the size of a beach ball ( a cute one!)
Betsey - Foster to Adopt
Racing Name: Baby Doll Age: 1.5 Sex: F Color: White and Red Homecoming Ht: 25" Wt: 54.00 Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - Y She is a sweet and lovable little girl. Her favorite pastime besides playing with toys is giving out kisses. She loves all humans even more so than any other animal. She has a good amount of sound sensitivity but is working through it. She no longer has a problem with hair dryers or vacuum cleaners but the big old bad gardener still makes her hide in the closet. She seems to be very easily trainable and loves to eat. She's been living as and only and I think she is doing okay with that. Her 18 months old age is coming out day by day as she learns life outside the racing world. |

Basil (male)- Medical Hold
Racing Name: Ethan Haas
Age: 8 (on feb 1) Sex: M Color: Red
Homecoming Ht: Wt: 63.00
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - ?
Basil is a loving 8 year old boy! He enjoys walks, treats and his humans. Basil would do well with someone who works from home and has the patience to “throw a little love” Basil’s way throughout the day. Basil can be fretful when separated from his humans. He likes to lay in his bed, beside his human, as well. He sleeps well during the night and is fully potty trained. A space that offers indoor/outdoor access would be ideal for Basil; he likes his person to come outdoors and watch him run zoomies, from time to time.
Basil gets along well with both large and small dogs. Once he gets to know the dog, Basil will share his outdoor bed with him/her. Basil is very social and likes meeting neighbors and gets super excited when the harness comes out! He also looks forward to Saturday walks with his greyhound friends at El Dorado Park. He rides well in the car and—with some help, can tuck himself into the back of a Mini Cooper.Basil is very affectionate and loving! He loves hugs and to be petted. He is around a small child on Wednesdays and Thursdays and is kind and patient once he knows the routine. Basil will make a wonderful companion for a special person or family!

King - Adopted

Age: 5.5 Sex: M Color: Blue
Homecoming Ht: 27" Wt: 7700
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - ?
Sweet, tall, sturdy, fun and curious. That’s the boy called King! What else to know about this striking blue greyhound: Walks well on a leash without pulling or darting. Hits the pillow each night with a smile, sleeps through the night and wakes with his tail in high gear. Eats breakfast and dinner without fuss. No accidents in the house. Eagerly jumps into cars and enjoys the ride while drooling on your windows. Not high prey but very curious about every critter he sees: dogs, cats, squirrels, lizards, birds, etc. King catches on quickly and shows remarkable communication skills in the brief time he has been in our home. Exhibits no interest in getting on furniture or beds at this point. He gets told so often how beautiful he is — by friends and strangers - that he assumes every human deserves an audience with the King. He can be an only dog if his people are home most of the time. He is in good health and his teeth are pearly white. King is tentative on hardwood floors. We put runners down, much to his delight.

Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - Y
Finn is a shy boy who came to us from Hemopet. He is very quiet and mostly stays in the same dog bed. He does not mind being approached for attention but is still afraid to seek it out on his own. His confidence is definitely getting better over time, but having a companion dog is key! He is starting to play with toys and the other dogs. He is a very gentle player & knows when to stop. Finn does require a home with a yard and has never had an accident. He likes to go on walks (and is a great gentle walker!) but refuses to use the bathroom while on a leash. His is very gentle even when other dogs grab his toys or food.

Vulcan - Adopted

Age: 2.6 Sex: M Color: Brindle
Homecoming Ht: Wt: 66.00
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - N
Meet Vulcan, the sweetest and most easygoing companion you could ask for! Vulcan is a calm, patient, and incredibly loving dog who thrives on being around people. Whether it's cuddling or joining you for a walk, he’s always by your side, ready to match your energy. Vulcan is great with people and dogs of all ages and sizes, always gentle and friendly, and totally comfortable in hectic public places like the mall or sidelines of the LA Marathon! He’s also fantastic on walks, matching your pace, though he’ll occasionally want to chase a squirrel (but no birds or other critters). He’s house-trained, eats well, doesn’t bark (except for an occasional squirrel alert), is responding well to separation training, and is crate-trained but would love to sleep with you if you’re up for it. His easygoing nature extends to bath time, nail trims, and having his teeth touched – he’s a total champ. He has no reaction to doorbells, the TV, or any other appliances or loud noises. He sleeps soundly through the night, loves car rides, and is a great companion for any activity, whether it’s relaxing or playing. He’s a fast learner, having taught himself to play fetch and ring a bell to go outside – a clear sign of his intelligence! Bonus points if you have a fenced yard for him to chase after balls in! Vulcan is truly a loving, loyal friend who just wants to be around you (and nuzzled against you, if you’ll let him). Could you be the one to give him the forever home he deserves?
Vulcan retired in Australia and was transported to Los Angeles.

Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - Y
Pluto is a gentle, sweet, affectionate 10 year old boy who is a ready-made pet! He’s potty-trained, takes direction really well, and settles into new environments quickly. Pluto is a confident boy but not pushy, and has shown no resource-guarding when it comes to food or toys. Happy to romp around with other dogs, we believe Pluto would also be fine as an only dog. He has shown no separation anxiety while we’re out of the house. He’s dog & cat friendly and has little prey drive, preferring to smell the flowers over chasing a squirrel. He’s a very eager walker and does a little dance when you reach for his leash. This curious, playful, snuggly boy is a greyhound on easy-mode and wins hearts wherever he goes. Re-homed at no fault of his own, this hound is honestly perfect and deserves a home (with lots of rugs/carpet for traction!) where he can be loved.

Frazier (male) - Adopted
Age: 8 Sex: M Color: Black
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - N
Fraizer is a big boy, but don't let his size fool you! This greyhound/wolfhound mix is a gentle, sweet guy. Frazier lived a very quiet, domestic life in Wyoming. He's adjusting to all the sounds and sites of Los Angeles. He is an excellent walker, who doesn't pull and stays by your side. Frazier gets along with other dogs as he's always been around them in the house. He's currently a big, loveable only dog, but he may be better suited with companion dogs of all sizes (no cats). Frazier also likes catching toys, responds to his name, and will alert you when someone is coming to the house (though if someone does come in, he will just sit on the couch). He's more of an alarm than a guard dog. He truly loves a couch, so make sure you want a couch dog potato because that's his preferred position.
Frazier was released by his owner (no fault to Frazier) due to owner's serious life events.
Willow - Adopted
Age: 3.6 (est) Sex: F Color: Fawn
Height: 28 in Weight: 60 lbs (est)
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - N, Cat tolerant - N
Willow is a young hound that has a very big personality. She is food motivated and smart, already knowing obedience commands like sit, down, go to bed, and shake a paw. She is a dog that bonds quickly to her human and will follow you around to be pet and cuddled. Willow is dog door trained and has had zero accidents in her foster home. She has no problem with stairs or slick surfaces, travels well in the car and walks great on a leash. Willow is vocal and loves to play hard with large/medium sized dogs with the same energy level. She is a dog that requires a yard, a large dog housemate and a human home as much as possible that wants a Velcro dog to spoil.
Explanation of the Med dog/Small dog/Cat Tolerance Listings
Nearly all greyhounds get along very well with dogs of medium size or larger, regardless of breed. But some do not get along with small, we mean very small dogs or cats. In the dog & cat tolerant listings above, the first letter refers to how we think the greyhound would do with medium sized dog, then small dogs and the third as to how we think they would do with cats. The listings above for the small dogs and cats are for the most part are based on how the greyhound tested when he first came off the track. Some listings have been adjusted as we've seen how he has done in his foster home. The medium dog listing is based on the greyhound's experience while they are in a foster home.
An "N" for small dogs and cats listing above means that, in our judgment, this dog is not suited to live with either small dogs (under 15 or 20 pounds) or a cats. A "W" listing in either category means that the greyhound, with proper training and supervision such as an experienced greyhound adopter could provide, could learn to live with small dogs or cats. A "Y" listing means that the greyhound with proper supervision initially should adapt quickly to life with your small dogs and cats. Quite a few of our dogs have lived in foster homes with indoor cats and because they have special credentials we reserve these hounds for families with cats. We don't test for tolerance for outside cats since all bets are off if a normally inside cat ran by a greyhound who has been trained to chase. A "TBD" listing usually means that the dog has not yet been tested.

A "Y" listing means that the greyhound with proper supervision initially should adapt quickly to life with your small dogs and cats. Quite a few of our dogs have lived in foster homes with indoor cats and because they have special credentials we reserve these hounds for families with cats. We don't test for tolerance for outside cats since all bets are off if a normally inside cat ran by a greyhound who has been trained to chase. A "TBD" listing usually means that the dog has not yet been tested.
Thanks go to Susan Heisler for many of the greyhound portraits!
