Available Hounds

Hi, I’m Bermuda! I love being outside, playing with other dogs, collecting toys (and occasionally other items), barking at bunnies and squirrels, and hanging out with people. I dislike being left on my own, and I also dislike THE VACUUM CLEANER. I really truly hope you do not have a vacuum cleaner in your household. I might have maybe attempted a sneaky sneak escape once or twice, so be sure to pay attention to what I’m doing! I currently live with a cat and we get along ok for the most part, but I am not at all sure about that kitten who also lives there–kittens are kinda weird. Kids, however, are amazing and I like them a lot! So much better than vacuums or kittens. I could use a little bit more practice on stairs, but I do pretty good on floors, and I do really well walking on a leash. Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?

Hi, I’m Blondie! I believe in early mornings, staring intently at squirrels or bunnies, and being a strong independent lady. But I also love socializing with people and other dogs, going on car rides, and playing with toys. While I will cheerfully follow you around the house, I am also happy to spend time on my own. I have been described as doing a “goofy dance” when I get excited, but that’s honestly a little bit rude–can I help it if my enthusiasm gets the better of my natural grace and elegance? Speaking of grace and elegance, I prefer not to jump or climb up on things, as it’s just so awkward for everyone involved. That being said, I am not scared of shiny floors and I do pretty good with stairs. I walk on a leash like the elegant lady I am, do all my business like the champion I am…unless something really interesting catches my attention and then I have to stand and S T A R E at it. Maybe even pull a tiny little bit. But honestly can you blame me? Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?

Hi, I'm Colby! I love Allllll the rubs and leaning on people. On walks, I love when people stop to pet me and to visit shops for treats and pets. I like to independently play with toys too but my foster person says I haven't discovered that they squeak yet. I have a funny way of scratching my head using my leg (not foot, although I do use my foot, too). It is really quirky! I am very sweet, super curious, and a bit mischievous. I do like to counter surf and my foster says I might be a hoarder. I took her slippers into my kennel. I'm great in the car but I need help getting in. My foster says I'm interested in other dogs - staring them down, pulling hard, a few times spinning on leash - so she did not have me meet any yet. I'm probably just so curious about seeing other types of dogs that aren't greyhounds. Something I can work on with some help from my forever person. Something else I need to work on with your help is that I'm not a fan of having certain things taken away. Looking forward to meeting you! Personality Traits:   laid back, social, playful, independent, goofy, strong willed 

Hi, I’m Glee! I love giving sloppy kisses and jumping on people when I meet them (I have been told this is behavior I “need to work on,” rude), leisurely walks so I can smell all the things, sticking my head in your personal space for pets, throwing my stuffies around, and spending Exclusive Glee Time in my kennel. Unlike many other greyhounds, I will come when called; once I arrive at your side I’ll lean on you to show how much I love you. I am very friendly with all people and dogs and like to be in the company of others, especially if it’s on a cool patio I can find a shady spot to lounge in. If left unattended and completely to my own devices, I might be naughty and rip up some paper. Just as an example of what COULD happen if I’m not properly tired out. I am not overly fond of stairs, kibble without any garnishes is boring, and I prefer not to do my business when it’s raining. Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?

Hi, I’m Halo! I love toys, walks, pets, and treats. And counter surfing. And barking! I'll protect you! I DO NOT LIKE CATS, and I have complicated feelings about other dogs–sometimes I like them, sometimes I bark at them, and sometimes I am kind of intense and growly at them. I contain multitudes, what can I say? I do love going on walks, and would love to walk for hours and hours every day, but I have been told that is “not realistic” and that I need to practice “good walking behavior and etiquette,” which frankly sounds pretty boring (what’s the point if you can’t drag people everywhere and bark at everything you see???) but I suppose I can try to work on that if you help me. I love attention, and I'm not at all shy about poking you if you stop petting me too soon. I'm super bendy and can provide hours of entertainment with the positions I sleep in and what I use for my pillow. Being entirely alone isn't my favorite thing, but my complaining doesn't generally last all that long. Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?

Hi, I’m Pancake! I’m a very sweet boy who will do best in a home with experienced greyhound people who know how to make sure my needs are met . I consider my home my sanctuary, and get nervous and unhappy when strangers visit unexpectedly--but I like meeting new people out on walks! I have a very soft coat and like getting pets, but only when I initiate them. Boundaries are important and should always be respected! Speaking of boundaries, I don’t always like when other dogs get too close to me either, so I might not do best in a multi-dog household. Sorry everyone, this Pancake doesn’t want to be part of a stack. And speaking of food…I LOVE FOOD A LOT. Like, a lot a lot. I love food so much you will probably have to keep it locked away from me so that I don’t eat it all up and then raid the trash to see what else there is for me to eat. Food is awesome, what can I say? So tempting! So delicious! So forbidden! Yum. Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?  

Hi, I’m Piper! I am an active girl, a power walker, and I love the sofa SO MUCH. I might hoard toys a little bit, and I have been told that chewing on things that aren’t my toys isn’t what good girls do and that boundaries are something I need to work on, but who’s to say if that’s really true or not. I will tap the doorknob to let you know I need to go out for a potty break, and I might also take the opportunity to play some fetch or chase some squirrels in the fenced in yard while I’m out there. I am a night owl, I love to cuddle in the morning but prefer to be more active at night. I get along well with people and other greyhounds, but not cats. I don’t like cats. I would rather not be alone if you are in the house too. Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?

I'm new here! My foster family are getting to know me and will share more about me soon.

Hi, I’m Sun! I love car rides, walks, treats, and following my fosters around the house--basically if there is activity, I want to be a part of it! I have a very gentle disposition and I always aim to please. I love to stare at my fosters to get pets or whatever they are eating. I am a little shy initially, then I get goofy and want to play with you! I get along with all dogs and people once I am comfortable with them, but I would rather not have other dogs crowd my space when I'm sleeping or laying down. I get nervous with people getting in my space when I'm laying down too, and appreciate when they notice my signals that I'm uncomfortable. I will definitely invade my foster's space for snuggles, butI prefer it when I initiate it. I need someone who will be gentle with me as I get nervous if I think I'm in trouble (which I never am, but sometimes my foster brothers are, ha ha). My fosters say I am a VERY good girl everywhere we have visited. Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?
