Steinbeck has a mysterious past that landed him in the Monterey shelter. His age is estimated to be about 4 years. An affectionate and laid back boy, he is ready for a pampered and cushy future!  No cats or small dogs for this boy!

Update 2/2/12.  Steinbeck has been up at King's Kastle for about a month now, and has made great progress!  He loves to run with the other greyhounds and is now out with all of the other dogs, even the small ones.  He tends to be more independent than some of the greyhound boys, and would be fine as an only dog.  He would also be OK with a fairly submissive female.  Colleen, the owner of King's Kastle, would be happy to talk with anyone interested in adopting Steinbeck, and will be available as a consultant to his new home.   That's a great bonus!

Shadow       

Shadow is a fire ball, white with black, almost three year old social butterfly! This entertainingly goofy girl will win your heart - a greyt personality. She is tiny, friendly, happy and lovable. This little sweetheart should not live with smaller pets, but would be a wonderful companion for children.

Now       

Now is an affectionate, entertaining, and playful 2 year old male. He is a 'teen' in dog years and needs gentle, patient, yet firm guidance as he learns social behaviors, explores relationships, and encounters unfamiliar experiences. His transition from the routine of a race track training program to a pet has been a bit more complex than most former racing greyhounds. Possibly a memory from his past haunts him. A home with a consistent routine and another confident greyhound or other large dog breed would be ideal for this young boy - a place where he feels safe and can work through his mysterious fear. This gorgeous red brindle boy is not timid but may react defensively toward unfamiliar people and when in a confusing situation. He is healthy and active and would benefit from daily, fairly taxing exercise. Now will reward his dedicated family with much love and great times!  Now did not do well in small dog or cat testing.

Edgar       Adopted 1/22/12

Edgar is a tall, young boy with a shoulder height of about 34" and an age of two years. He is still finding his balance and sure footing boosts his confidence. A real gentle giant, this guy is lovable and reserved with all including cats.

Reina     Adopted 1/28/12   

Reina is a sweet, outgoing and beautiful big girl. She is just about four years old and a smiler. Her cat testing results have varied, so further exposure to felines will be needed prior to adopting into a home with cats.

Gary       

Gary is a very social and people-focused, two year old boy. He would be most comfortable in a home that did not need to leave him alone for long periods of time. Though does not pull on the leash when confronted with a smaller animal, he should not be trusted with cats.
