George
George is lovingly referred to as 'the goof' due to his high level of curiosity and spastic displays of affection and excitement. And, of course, he is sooo cute! His history is unknown, but it is estimated that he is about 3 years old. His pure white coat and questioning/inviting eyes are a fascinating combination.
George is a registered and certified "Love Bug". He's rambunctious, for sure and should not live with cats, but he just wants to be loved. George's sweet and tender gazes make it hard to turn away from him. With training, George will be the perfect companion to an older family.

Rhian
Rhian is a 22-month old handsome youngster who broke four of the metacarpals in his left front leg during a schooling race last November. We heard that he needed to have this fixed immediately for it to heal properly and, fortunately, we already had a haul planned. After a brief stop at Homestretch Greyhound Rescue and Adoption, he was brought directly to Veterinary Surgical Associates. The surgery was done on November 30th and was very successful! However, it was discovered that he also had a fracture in his carpus bone (wrist) and will require an additional surgery. He has been recovering in a foster home with two cats and the photos show how well he gets along with them! Here's what his foster parents say about him:
"Rhian is recovering very well from his metacarpal fractures and has been splint free for over a week now. He is using his leg for the majority of his walks, but still holds it up from time to time. For only having the splint off a week ago, he is doing great! He is a young energetic boy who can't wait to run laps around a fenced-in yard (but not for a few more months) and play with bouncy toys (he loves his KONG)! His favorite times are spent lounging with his people friends on his dog bed and being petted. He is shy at first, but given some time he is a very loving, playful boy. He would do best with someone who is home a lot to give him the attention he needs. He does very well with cats and currently lives with two furry friends." |

Loretta Adopted 2/6/10
Loretta is an outgoing and busy girl. She is practically a puppy at just 18 months old, so formal training is recommended to refine her manners and help build the bond with her adopting family. People are her favorite things, but dogs tend to put her on guard until proper introductions are made. Testing has gone well with cats.
This beautiful and sweet girl has been living in a foster home with two greyhounds and two cats since early January. She is very good with the cats and is very mature and calm for such a young dog. |

Sophie
Sophie is a Borzoi / Greyhound mix, 4 years old and a sweetheart. She was adopted as a puppy, but recently lost her home due to landlord policies. She had been living with cats and a chihuahua.
This gorgeous girl likes to be with her people and may be vocal when left alone. Now in a foster home with five other large sighthounds, she sometimes feels intimidated by all the commotion and air-snaps. Once the environment settles, she curls up for a nap. .
Sophie is super fabulous in the car and enjoys outings - shares the backseat of a Prius with no trouble at all. A bit of an acrobat, this lady flies over child-gates and can break out of a wire crate, open doors, etc. if extra security precautions aren't taken. It is not yet known what height fence will be needed. .
She walks well on a leash and has excellent potty habits. She is friendly to all people, but doesn't like to be pushed around. Children would need to respect her space and be gentle. She follows suggested direction, but does not respond well to forceful manipulation. .
Sophie needs to find a forever home soon as she doesn't quite understand all the changes in her recent life.
