Looking
for pretty and playful? That's our Scout, a beautifully masked
red girl, ready and eager to move on to her own home after
surgical repair of a broken leg. She is all recovered, and
ready to go. This happy girl is looking for
a life of greyhound fun and games and lots of affection. Scout
will bring lots of smiles to her new forever family. Scout's
ideal home would have a fenced yard, preferably in the suburbs.
She cannot live with cats and she is not small dog tolerant.
Older kids would be her
preferred
playmates. She's been waiting a long time to find her very
own family - could this little girl be the perfect hound for
you?

to walk well on leash. She cannot live with cats or small dogs

This
handsome boy had a rough start but with TLC, extra food and
vitamin B12, he has progressed into a stunning, playful and
affectionate guy. Being so young, he is curious, LOVES toys and
is very snuggly. This sweetheart will still need monthly vitamin
B12 injections (one per month, it
takes 2 seconds!) for about a year. It will be inexpensive
and easy.
Otherwise
he
is happy
and healthy but he cannot live with small creatures like cats
or birds. He is littermate to our recently adopted Winnie and
Fame and will surely be just as good a pet as they are.

love toys, once he figures them out! He is truly a fantastic

Hal is the
happiest guy ever! This dark brindle beauty came to us from
Florida with some medical issues that have since cleared
up perfectly. He is now ready to roll and show off just how much
he loves life. He’s a non-stop tail-wagging, kissy, huggy,
playful young boy that would do great in a yard or frequent trips
to the dog park. He wouldn’t mind another playful dog as
a companion but because he is a confident dude would probably
be fine as an only hound, as long as he gets his daily dose of
tummy rubs. At his first meet & greet he made many fast friends
including small children but because he is strong on leash, we
recommend he live with older children.

Kraven
is a happy, playful boy! He loves people, and his favorite
thing to do is be loved on! He is very friendly, but doesn't
always show well at the kennel - as he can initially be a little
too bouncy! He settles down nicely after a good walk - and
will benefit greytly from getting into a home! He is well-behaved
with other dogs, and would make an excellent companion for
school aged children. Kraven should settle down nicely once
in a home, which he is definitely ready for!

This
boy could use some leash work – he doesn’t walk
well on one! He is a ball of energy and a ton of fun! When
squeaking the toy during his evaluation, he had all four feet
off the floor and jumped higher than the volunteer’s
head to reach it. His teeth chatter when he’s playing
because he’s so excited. He would probably do better
in a home with a fenced yard and some active children to wear
him out.
