Greyhound Profiles

 Featured Greyhounds - Become a Sponsor
So you can't adopt a greyhound but you still want to help?  Sponsorship is a wonderful way for those individuals who cannot physically adopt a greyhound to participate fully in our rescue and adoption effort.  It also allows groups such as school classrooms, nursing home residents, etc. to sponsor a hound.  Just check out the Greyhound Profiles and look for the "Sponsor Me" link and make a donation on behalf of the greyhound of your choice.  

Occasionally, a dog may require special medical attention.  If you see this expense under a dog profile, and would like to contribute to these additional expenses, please note it in your sponsorship.

You can submit your sponsorship donation via PayPal or by mail. Leave the Name Space blank if you are paying by PayPal and would like someone to choose the dog for you.

OR click on link to complete the Sponsorship Form to Mail your donation
All donations are Tax Deductible; we are a 501(C) (3) not-for-profit organization.

Ace
(Date A Ace)

ADOPTION PENDING

Hi, my name is Ace, and I’m 4 years old.  No cats.  I’ve been told I am very handsome and distinguished looking.  I think my best features are my ears.  If I hear the slightest noise or smell the littlest smell they go straight up in the air.  I have to say, they are straight up an awful lot.  I’m a very calm boy and prefer to stand and get rubbed over playing with toys.  I’m not sure I get the whole toy thing yet, but I’m sure I can learn what they are about.  I’m well behaved on a leash and in my crate.  I think if you would take me home, I would settle in pretty easy.  I would really, really like to go home with you.

Tait

Hello everyone.  My name is Tait and I’m 7 years old.  It is my turn to tell you my story.  First of all they wanted me to let you know that I’m not fond of cats.  I was lucky enough to live in a home for about 5 months.  At first everything was great.  Unfortunately, my new mom’s schedule changed and she wasn’t around as often.  I have to admit, I was a little rattled by this change.  Needless to say, she brought me back to the kennel.  I’ve been here this second time around for 7 months, and I’m doing really well.  I’m very quiet in my crate.  I’m not stressed at all.  I’m very good about waiting to go outside, and never make a mess.  I’m a little more serious and not much of a player.  I prefer to stay close to the humans and get all the attention they can give.  I really believe I’m ready to go back into a home and am looking forward to it.  If you’re looking for a quiet boy who’s a little older, please give me a chance.

Hi.  Let me introduce myself.  My name is Carl. I’m 4 years old and I don’t like cats. I’m a little more serious than some of the goofy boys currently residing here.  I did find out I have a playful side when I was introduced to a squeaky toy.  It felt nice to be a little silly for once.  My favorite thing ever though is to be rubbed and loved on.  I really like to just stand next to a human and feel the comfort of their hand on my back.  While here at the kennel, I’ve taken it upon myself to be the inspector.  I like to watch to make sure the carpets are checked for any mess, and that the kennels are cleaned correctly.  Once I have made sure the job has been done, I will go outside to take care of my own business. They tell me I am a very handsome boy and will make a wonderful companion. I go to bed every night wondering if tomorrow will be my chance to prove them right.
