Memory is a 7-year old retired brood who is more than ready for a home and a couch to call her own. As with most broods, she is gentle, easy to handle, friendly and outgoing. She did suffer an injury to her right hind leg, which causes her foot to buckle under. For that reason, a home with lots of stairs would probably not be a good fit for her. Please consider giving this sweet "mama" a family for keeps!

Memory is currently on medical hold, having recently had surgery to repair her previously broken leg. We will let you know when she is again available!

See more of Memory's information on our Special Needs page.

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. She'll probably do best with a yard to play in, and older kids would be her preferred playmates, no kitties or small doggies need apply. 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.

See Scout's Foster Update Page for more information on how she is doing in her foster home!

Reno is a shy boy who is heading to a foster home for work on his socialization. He didn't want to leave the comfort of his crate and it took some coaxing to get him to mingle with the volunteers at the kennel. We will update his status after some time in his foster home.

Reno is currently on medical hold. It was originally thought he might have some issues with his eyelids, but it was discovered he just has severe allergies which require drops. We will update his progress as we know more!

GoGo is an adorable black and white girl. At meet n' greets she is quiet, tolerant, and well-behaved, and has proven herself a master of the greyhound nap. But kennel staff report that in playgroup her active side comes out, and she likes to chase balls and play with the other large and medium-sized dogs. She made a best greyhound friend at the kennel and would do well as a second dog, though she cannot live with small dogs or cats. Gogo is good on leash, but prefers shorter walks when the weather is cold. This sweet little girl has been looking for her forever home for a long time - are you the one she has been waiting for?
