OUR GREYHOUNDS
|
Please note: GreySave'S adoption fee is $300. The adoption fee covers less than half of GreySave's cost to get the healthy hounds ready for adoption. Some of the costs covered by the fee are: IDEXX lab work, 3 year shots; spay/neuter and sedated dental, martingale and tag collars with a 4 ft. leash, AVID microchip, starter flea & tick meds plus a greyt goody bag with a coat & blanket and a few other goodies!
Our goal is always a match that's great for both dog and family. Please allow us to help you find the best greyhound for you. We've found that people who choose a dog based on a photo and brief profile such as those below often don't end up with the best dog for their lifestyle and family. So rather than let adopters pick the dog they want from these profiles, our adoption representatives use all the information we have on each dog to help adopters find just the right dog. Some of the dogs below are ready for adoption, while others are being prepared for adoption. "Adoption Pending" dogs are about to be adopted. "Foster to Adopt" are dogs that their foster homes will be adopting as participants to our Foster to Adopt program. It is our practice not to list a dog as adoption pending until after they have had their surgery. The website is updated frequently at least weekly so most of the information is quite recent. The bottom of this page explains how we rate a dog's small dog or cat tolerance. GreySave, like most greyhound adoption groups, has a policy of not adopting to families with children 6 years old or younger. We reluctantly adopted that policy after several greys came back to us a bit worse for the experience. We don't believe that by their nature greyhounds are not suitable for young families but that they require a bit more structure and a safety net that may not be sustainable in a busy child focused household. 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. For a list of greyhounds that have been recently adopted and where they live see the Recent Adoptees page. |

Our Greyhounds - some available and some not quite ready yet
Ali
Racing Name: Myalibi
Age: 4.0 Sex: F Color: White & brindle
Ht: 26.5 Homecoming Wt: 64.6
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - Y
Ali is a brave and loving girl. The bustle and noises of Downtown LA do not seem to faze her. Nor do the challenges that come with living in an apartment building. Ali enjoys food very much but doesn’t seem to be food aggressive. She might need a friendly reminder of what not to stick her nose in, but is quick to remember. She sleeps well at night and is OK doing so in the living room with her foster family’s retired 10-year-old greyhound. During the day she prefers to be where her foster humans are. She also seems to be just fine when left home along for a little while. Ali easy on the leash and a laid-back walker. Even the older greyhound has to slow down for her sometimes. She doesn’t seem to care about the other downtown dogs and is shy when meeting new humans. Mirrors are a bit confusing to her. It’s hard to tell if she is upset or happy by her reflection as she growls and wags her tail at the same time. She tends to check herself out several times a day. Ali is never shy to ask for some love from her foster parents. She might make a good only dog as long as her people are home more often than not.

Avatar - Available for adoption Mid-October

Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - TBD
Avatar is a big, outgoing, fluffy sweetheart. He still is not jumping into the van but will put his paws up on the van floor and then turn and look at me like “I’m a good boy”! If his name is even mentioned, he is right by our side wondering if it is time for food or maybe a walk. He is ready and eager for anything. He went out and in the pet door the first day he was with us and will let us know he needs to go out if the door is closed. Avatar likes to be outside, especially early in the morning, just to lie on a pet bed and enjoy the fresh air when it is cool. He is becoming a big player with stuffed toys. He will trot up and down the hall, carry them outside and then back in (sometimes). Avatar met a 5 year old boy recently and was so excited that he almost climbed up on the couch to get closer to him. He also will go to any adult he can to get petted and of course he likes to hear that he is a handsome, wonderful boy. He is great with my two male greyhounds and plays well with my female foster and spends a lot of time near her. I think he knows that she is a bit timid and he is there to support her.

Cadie is a very quiet girl, extremely sweet and a bit timid. She likes stuffed toys and sleeps well at night. If we call her, she will stand away from us but if we are not looking for her, she will come right up for attention. She is wonderful in the house and goes out to potty when she needs to. Cadie remains wary of new people and new situations. She still will not take treats from our hand but will take cheese from us! She will go on walks but is very happy to get back to the house. She loves playing with stuffed toys and will prance through the house and yard, tossing them in the air. She is spending more time in the rooms that we are in and even if she retreats to the bedroom, she will come out often for kisses and cuddles.

Daisy - Adoption pending
Racing Name: Dish Charge
Age: 2.2 Sex: F Color: Black
Ht: 26.0 Homecoming Wt: 57.4
Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - w
Daisy is a very curious grey and always has to be near you so she doesn’t miss a thing. She loves to search for blankets and towels around the house and once she finds them, she makes a nest with them. Give her a toy and she will take it back to her nest to play with. When not in her nest, she likes to position herself so she can see out the front screen door. She waits for the mailman but will take any solicitor as well. She will then jump to her feet and whine to let that person know that she is there. She loves to say hello to whomever she comes across whether it be a human or just another doggie. She is a younger grey, still likes to play a lot, and is very active during the day. She is a solid sleeper and sleeps throughout the night. She always sleeps in your bedroom as she does not want to be too far away from you. She is a super-fast learner. She mastered the dog door and discovered where to do her business outside the first day she arrived.

Wow! What an amazing boy! Gable has both looks and personality. He was a bit shocked at first, but after the first night settled right into home life like a champ! He is very sweet and curious, but definitely doesn't want to overstep - "no!" is enough to break his concentration on almost anything. Gable seems very smart and picked up on things right away. He is friendly and not much seems to phase him. Blender and other noises are A-okay by him. He did step on a utility cover that popped up and that made him jump! He is hilarious with toys and doesn't rip them, but does have a propensity for wearing the weaker ones out! Very healthy appetite, but doesn't seem to have any food aggression. He is an overall very nice, easygoing hound. A little afraid of the cats when they aren't running away, but shows some interest if they are moving fast. This interest in them is fading though and he is mostly ignoring them now. He could probably be an only hound, but definitely wants people around a lot. He will make someone or a family very happy!

Jet the adorable Adventurer! For a grey that has never seen or used stairs before, Jet wasted no time walking right up to the second floor to explore his new digs on day 1. In fact, it was his first order of business. Jet has settled into his new home so nicely and easily that it feels like he has always been here. Jet is such a sweet guy who is constantly smiling and looking at you lovingly with his gentle eyes. Jet likes being the star of the show and will be by your side whenever possible for love and attention. He does also seem content on his own and has a nice independent side to him. Jet is happy to get love and pets by his family and neighborhood friends, both human and canine. He gets along with both small and large dogs that he greets on his walks. Jet’s favorite daily highlights include his walks, meals, and yoga. This smart boy will imitate your downward facing dog right next to you. Jet shows his excitement by doing a little tap dance around the house and “knits” gently to show his joy. He does great on leash, shows no signs of food or sleep aggression, and has had zero accidents. Jet is such a fun and easy going goofball.

Racing Name: Volando Matia
Age: 2.4 Sex: F Color: White & Black

Medium dog - Y, Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - Y
Marcia is best described as a very playful and happy girl who like all greyhounds loves her naps. A girl full of energy but well behaved when told to simmer down. From day one she embraced the idea of being a pet. She fit well into her foster home with the other greys, as well as when other greys and humans come to visit from time to time. Our official greater, handing out an abundance of kisses, with tail in full motion, and begging to be petted. The topper – she even smiles. So far toys do not seem to strike her fancy, as she prefers spends her time by taking advantage of the doggie door to explore the back yard if not napping. Car rides are enjoyed as she lays down quickly to catch up on her naps with occasional looks out the window to view and take in her new world. Marcia knows her manners as she learned quickly that getting onto the furniture was a no no. Breaking her of counter surfing took a while, but she now lays down in the kitchen waiting patiently while her meals are being prepared. As you would expect she is a member in good standing of the “Clean Plate Club”. Her human dad seems to be her best friend, as she loves to lay next to him while he watches TV or works at his desk. This girl should make a great addition to most any home where there is another dog buddy, or a being a single dog where her humans are home most all the time, or gone for just short periods of time.

Martha is a reserved and dignified girl who came off the track at a young age. She is easy going and walks well on a lead. Martha is not always sure what to make of new humans that she meets on her walks or at the coffee shop, but she is not skittish and we anticipate she will continue to blossom as she eases in to retirement. In only a few days she has already learned from her foster sister the joys of asking us for scratches, roaching, derping, and eating peanut butter. Because of her age and reserved nature we do not believe that Martha could be an only dog - she will need a friend.

Rachel is a very happy girl who sticks with people and likes affection as much as she likes exploring. She examines everything in the house to see what it might be. She settled into home life in about forty eight hours and seems to want to learn from everything. By her first week she had learned how to sit and wait patiently for food and treats. She loves squeaky toys and can play with for about 15 minutes and contentedly snoozes till her next adventure. She is very smart and learned to open doors and move barriers in her need to see everything she can. She loves basking outside in the sun. She might be OK as an only dog if someone was home with her, as she does want to be in the same area as her person(s). She is very good at riding in a car, so would make a good traveler. She gets on very well with three other greyhounds and is kind to our 4yr old great grand daughter, they are both the same height. She is elegant and beautiful and busy in short spurts with long naps like all greyhounds

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.

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.
