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.

Marty (female)- Available
Racing Name: Hemopet Marti
Age: 2.4 Sex: F Color: Red and White
Homecoming Ht: Wt: 63.00
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - ?
Marty is as sweet as can be! She is a shy little lady who came to us from Hemopet. She doesn’t love being approached, but will happily plop next to you on the couch & give you kisses. Her confidence is definitely getting better over time, but having a companion dog is key! If she sees us loving on our other pets she will excitedly come over, tail wagging, and ask for pets. She really loves the company of other dogs & will get everybody playing out in the yard. She is a very gentle player & knows when to stop. Marty does require a home with a yard, she loves to go on walks (and is a great gentle walker!) but refuses to use the bathroom while on a leash. She is a bit of a chewer when it comes to toys, so we just always keep an eye on her when she is playing with soft toys. Besides chewing her toys, we haven’t had any issues with her chewing on anything in our home. She is very gentle & has no issues with you taking toys away from her. She is incredibly sweet & has a really cute large head, you can’t help but love her! Once she warms up to you she can be incredibly affectionate.

Willow - Available
Age: 3.6 (est) Sex: F Color: Fawn
Height: 28 in Weight: 60 lbs (est)
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - ?, Cat tolerant - ?
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.

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.

Medium dog - TBD, Small dog - TBD, Cat tolerant -TBD
Five year old Cinder is a cute, petite, and very affectionate girl who would love to be someone's life long friend. She loves being close to her people and will often check on you to make sure you know she's there for you. Cinder has easily adjusted to life in a home with two other greyhounds who are teaching her the joys of being a pet. She is smart, well mannered, and has a strong desire to be close enough for a quick cuddle. The saying "Stuck Like Glue" definitely applies to Cinder. She is mom's constant shadow. Cinder would probably do well with another dog in the household to keep her company.

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.
