OUR GREYHOUNDS
|
Please note: GreySave's adoption fee is $350. 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, vaccinations; spay/neuter and sedated dental; fecal and initial worm treatment as needed, 3 month supply of Advantage Multi; martingale and tag collars with a 4 ft. leash; AVID microchip 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, some that are not yet ready for and are listed with a future date when they should be available, while others are being prepared for adoption but we don't know for sure when they will be ready. "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 and we have a firm commitment for an approved adopter. 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 the best fit 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 - Currently or soon to be available for adoption
Becky - Adoption pending
Racing Name: We're on a Break
Age: 1.9 Sex: F Color: Fawn
Ht: 26.0 Homecoming Wt: 63.2
Medium dog - Y Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - Y
Becky is absolutely the friendliest grey I’ve probably ever met! Absolutely everyone is her friend, as she greets them with a wildly wagging tail, and if you get down in her space , she is happy to give you a thorough face wash!! She lives happily with her two grey foster brothers, though she likes to establish herself as top dog by laying right across major traffic areas , which moves the boys to look plaintively for help in passing by her! Becky loves food , and right from the beginning was interested in everything including fruits and vegetables. She rides well in the car, and walks well on limited walks , though she’s a bit of a weaver. Becky is learning more and more to play with toys, and doesn’t need a companion to do so , as she throws toys up in the air to catch by herself, and loves to gather them all around her beds inside and outside. She sleeps well through the night, though is a bit of an early riser. Even though Becky looooves people, kids, and social activities, she does not do particularly well when left home, while one of her greyhound brothers goes for a walk (even though there is another grey with her!) She becomes a little frantic, howls (though briefly) and on occasion decides to "read" some magazines to distract herself. For this reason, I believe that Becky could never be an only dog, and would definitely need another greyhound to hang out with when her people were gone.

Erin

Racing Name: Erin Lively
Age: 1.6 Sex: F Color: Red
Ht: 26 Homecoming Wt: 59.4
Medium dog - Y Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - N
Her racing name “Erin Lively” sure does fit her. She answered from day one to her track kennel name “Erin”. A true 19 month old greyhound puppy. Full speed racing around the backyard with one of our others is a nightly must. Lots of walks and a big back yard is what she will need to burn off energy and be happy. In true greyhound fashion she loves to jump into the car and go for rides. A good traveler and settles quickly. Helping her humans prepare her meals is also a favorite on her list, as she needs to be close buy to supervise. Is member in good standing of the “clean plate club”. She loves all toys, but of course the ones that make noise are the best. Flinging them in the air as she does zoomies in the backyard at full speed. She has mastered the dog door and sleeps through the night. Never an accident in the house. I am sure she would love to sleep on your sofa but we have not let her. A very affectionate Velcro girl that needs attention. She will need to be in a home with another dog. We do not recommend her humans are gone for long hours. Her big brown eyes will melt your heart when she places her head in your lap for pets .

Harry - Adoption pending
Racing Name: Hungry Dog
Age: 3.1 Sex: M Color: Black
Ht: 28.5 Homecoming Wt: 71.8
Medium dog - Y Small dog - Y-, Cat tolerant - N
Harry is a charming, confident 3 year old boy who came from the track ready to start his retirement! He had the dog door down on day one and breezed through “Hardwood Floors and Tiles - 101.” He is playful with two of the other three greys in the home and respects the third’s growls to be left alone. He quickly learned how to play with toys and toss them in the air. Harry is very friendly towards people and even accepts treats from human hands!
Harry spent a week with a pug with no problem, but is a bit too interested in the smaller, skinnier dogs (especially the white, fluffy cat-like ones). He has had some alone testing, and whined a bit at first, but then settled down. He would probably be suitable as an only dog if he got some socialization with other greys or medium/large dogs. Harry does not pull when being walked alone, but when walking with the rest of the pack, he has to be in front, which means he pulls a bit. This should get under control with some training.

Medium dog - Y Small dog - Y , Cat tolerant - Y
Three year old Jan has blossomed into a happy, bubbly little girl who can't wait to find her forever home. This absolutely adorable lap size grey is such a busy bee when it comes to exploring her new surroundings. She is smart, fun living, energetic, and will light up any room with her playful antics. Giving kisses is her favorite thing to do and playing with squeaky toys comes in a close second. She can empty the toy box in minutes. Jan shares her home with three other greyhounds who are showing her the joys of being a pet. She uses the doggy door, has a healthy appetite, loves soft beds, long naps, and car rides. Jan would love a home with other dogs to keep her company or someone who is home most of the time.

Maxi - Adopted and living in Pasadena

Racing Name: Maximum Profit
Age: 3.0 Sex: F Color: Brindle
Ht: 20.0 Homecoming Wt: 61.6
Medium dog - Y Small dog - Y , Cat tolerant - Y
When you get the leashes out she is the first hound in line to make sure she is not being left behind. Car rides are on the top of her list where she lays down quickly after she has made sure her personal UBER human knows where they are going. Always willing to share the space with another greyhound or two. Maxi loves all beds, and has never tried to get on the furniture. A perfectionist at “roaching”. Can be a little cautious when meeting new people. But if you smell like dogs she quickly warms up to most new humans, insisting you scratch and pet her. Neck scratches are the best. Gets along well with the other female greys in our home, and we are sure she would love the boys as well. The dog door was an instant hit, however she does sleep through the night. Toys are a fun thing to play with. Not being destructive with them, but loves to take them in and out of the house, and occasionally launch them into the air. She was easily correctable with Mr. Squirt Bottle, and only needed once or twice – a quick learner with good memory. Never a counter surfer, but we don’t suggest leaving food unattended, as there is never a meal she doesn’t like. Has good manners and doesn’t beg for food when her humans are eating. Can use a little work walking on leash as she is so interested in all the new sights & smells of her new world. Never showed any separation anxiety as she has always been left with the other greys. Loves to lay by you when you are working at your desk. Maxie would be fine as an only hound if her adopter was devoted and spent quality time with her.

Ht: 28 Homecoming Wt: 68.0
Medium dog - Y Small dog - Y, Cat tolerant - Y
Rolex is a sweet, mellow guy who is happiest sleeping in the bed closest to the humans in the home. He lives with a greyhound and a Weimaraner but doesn’t bother with either dog too much. Rolex also lives with a cat who he leaves alone and shows little interest in. He is a loving boy, and gets excited when his people come home with big tail wags and feet tippy tappies. Rolex will push his foster dog siblings out of the way to be the first dog to get pets when there is a human around. Rolex has not been exposed to many children. Rolex has a healthy appetite and needs to eat out of a slow feeder bowl to slow him down. Rolex walks well on the leash, he’s a slow walker and will often times be beside or behind the group on short walks. Rolex is a smart guy who’s learned quickly, the magnet screen door was mastered within minutes of being in the home. We believe Rolex could do well in a single dog home with adult owners who can provide him with lots of love and attention.

Scamp is a fun exuberant girl. She is settling into retirement and enjoys her new life. If you're looking for an affectionate grey Scamp is your girl. You can't pet her enough. She loves to empty the toy box and decorate the living room with the toys. She will also add clothes, rugs and anything she finds on the floor into her toy collection. She doesn't destroy just collects. She sleeps great on her bed in bedroom and will groan and flop around till she finds her perfect sleeping position. Greeting and food time can be a bit wild cause she loves people and food. We are working on calming her during both activities. Being a secure pup is quite curious and not much phases her. She could be an only provided her humans aren't gone for long periods

Scout is little love bug and the sweetest most dear girl ever. She a loving heart and kind eyes she uses to look adoringly at her humans. She loves to snuggle and lean on her human Foster Mom as much as she can. She is definitely a Velcro baby and follows her foster mom everywhere and sleeps on the floor next to her bed. She wakes up super happy in the morning giving lots of kisses, snuggles and tail wags and sometimes a little bark. She loves loves affection and to be hugged and kissed on her forehead. She is very calm and quiet and not skittish at all. She sleeps well through the night and likes to go on short walks to explore everything although she prefers to be cozy in the house. She is still a little sensitive to city noises but every day she is getting more acclimated to the environment. She has shown no signs of food aggression or counter surfing and waits patiently for her food and treats and naturally has very polite manners. She lives with her very alpha foster grey sister who has taught her a lot of exciting things like how to play with toys and go to the bathroom outside. Scout is most likely not an alpha girl and has no problem being bossed around by her alpha big sister and always follows her. Scout is sensitive and attached to her human foster mom and foster grey big sister and does not do well when left home alone at all. She gets very nervous and upset and whines and is super sad. She has not been around children but because of her very calm nature she might do best in a calm home with adult(s) and another grey. Scout is fine when left home along with her foster grey sister but if left totally home alone she does not do well. She loves to chill and sleep and be calm and happy and give and get lots of love.

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.
