We adopted a
greyhound 3 years ago and it was the best thing we ever
did!!!! Her name is Beth and she is 5 yrs old. She is
black with a white chest. She is truly a part of our
family.

I live in the
North Alabama region. I personally have adopted two big
brindle boys....I took my first home....Slash- Remember
Slash- was the racing name, in March of 95. I have had
the wonderful opportunity to foster two others in the last
three months. The first was a beautiful little black girl named
MOON and she went on to find a great home with her new
little brother...Woodrow the beagle. My second foster was
named Draper. He also is a big beautiful Brindle boy....almost
could pass as Slash's twin. Well, I am pleased to report
that Draper also found a good home.....He fostered with
me and is now a permanent fixture of my home. Slash is 6
and Draper is 2....and they have fit in wonderfully with
my two children who are 7 and 3. I would recommend a Hound
to anyone with no reservations if they are looking for a
loyal companion to love and be loved by. Have a GREYT
day.....

I recently saw a
piece on Greyhound adoptions. One owner described them as very
docile, perfectly happy to lay around the house and very
calm. That would be the ideal dog for me. I have two cats and
I wonder how a Greyhound would integrate into the
household. Anyone with insight please drop me an e:mail
and share your insights/experiences. Also, is there an
Atlanta chapter that I can contact about adopting?
Thanks!

We got are
greyhound about 1-1/2 years ago and love him like a
family member. He probably owns are house more than we
do. He has comfortables and blankets spread all around
this house. We are thinking about getting a second
greyhound, but we are not sure. We are gone most of the
day, since we both work, but I do come home for lunch for
a hour or two. When we are gone Payton (As in Walter
Payton) stays out in the garage with a heater or fan and lots
of blankets and water. Does anyone have any suggestions
for us if we should get a second or not? He does have
access to the backyard and gets spoiled more than us.
Payton gets waffles on the weekend and lots of love and walks
around the neighborhood. Please respond if you have two
greyhounds or more.

My name is Kelly
Owens, and my husband and I are considering adopting a greyhound.
I just wanted to talk to someone who has adopted one
before, so that I could ask a few questions. It breaks my heart
to think of these beautiful dogs being killed for no
reason. Please if anyone would share their greyhound experiences
with me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

We've had our
Snoop since July. He is just great. Intelligent and
sensitive. My husband says he never owned a smart dog
until now. Snoop stays glued to him and even tries to sit
on his lap...most of his 73 lbs makes it but his back
legs kind of dangle. Thanks for your page.

Great to see such
a wonderful site for Sight hounds! I've had Thumper (7yr.old,
blue-brindle, female) for two years and recently, Emeril
(3yr.old, HUGE, red fawn, male) since February. Two are great!!!
Suprised to hear of a greyhound (are you sure it was?)
biting unprovoked. My experience is they are very shy and
totally affectionate.

adopting a greyhound, do it. The life you save will be

We just got to
bring our new family addition home. We just adoped Doc Supreme
from Greyhound Friends North West. Doc had to spend the
night at the vet's last night due to some post surgical problems,
but he's home now. He's spent the afternoon exploring and
getting to know the rest of the family (1 yorkie and 2
cats). So far he's fitting right in! We feel very honored
to be able to have him join our family. Thank you
Greyhound Friends North West!!

Who is responsible
for these dogs actions after they are placed? Had one placed
here locally that bit a child unprovoked. Has this
happened before? And who decides what animals have the
correct temperment for placement instead of being
euthanised? Do these adoption people know anything about temperment
and drives?

We're still in the
"serious consideration" phase of adopting a
Greyhound. We've just recently fenced our backyard (60ft
x 95 ft) with 4-ft fence (hope that's high enough). We're
also gathering all the info we can on Greyhounds. Great
to see all this info is available to us! We're moving
along at a snail's pace to make sure this is REALLY what
we want to do. We really love dogs, but we had to put down
our Dalmation about 18 months ago (cancer) and we still
miss him! Getting attached to another dog is a little
scarry. Anyway, thanks for all the great info! WISH US
LUCK!

We adopted Gracie
6 months ago and she is the best thing that has ever happened
to us! We will be receiving another greyhound this
weekend to foster, as there seem to be 1 or 2 tracks in
the Northeast closing and there are 80 dogs that need to
find homes immediately. If we had room for all 80 we
would take them! Our "master" Gracie is a 6
year old retired fawn. They are truly the most loving
pets anyone could hope for. Please consider adopting at
least one.

HI! We were
thinking about getting a dog, and when we were at an
exhibition, we saw the "Greyhound Pets Of Atlantic
Canada" booth. My mother and both liked the breed
right away. Now, we are thinking about pursuing this
option, and maybe adopting a greyhound.....If we do, I'll
be sure and tell you.

adopted him from a rescue group in Denver.He's a super
sweetie! In February we'll be going on a 6 month trip and
won't be able to take him. We're looking for a 6 month
foster home for him in the central New York (upstate) area.
Anyone have any leads for groups in Finger Lakes area?

Katie, our 5 year
young black w/white markings, greyhound has been with us for
2 1/2 years. She is really a member of the family along
with a cocketeil named Tailgate. She loves the long daily
walks in the forest and chasing those squirrels. Thank
goodness for trees!! We had some trouble with Katie being allergic
to a flea collar and flea program that caused her to have
many, many petite mal seizures. Any one else run into
this? If so, please e-mail me. Thanks!!! Kisses from

We have two dogs,
Hunny, a labradore retreiver mix, and Tigger, a
greyhound. Tigger was the runt of his litter, and as such
was too small to race. We adopted him when he was 18 mos
old. A young greyhound is a bundle of joy and energy and
we can imagine life with out our little guy.

We brought home
Bandit just 4 days ago and we can already see how much of a
happier dog he has become. Bandit had been attacked while
muzzled at the track and required 3 1/2 hours of
stitching up to piece him back together once he got to
Greyhound Friends of NC. That incident may have left scars
on his body, but his personality doen't have any
reflections of the attack. He's so gentle & sweet. We
feel so lucky to have Bandit in our home. He already
knows what cookie and walk mean. If anyone in the
Greenville, NC area is interested in forming a playgroup
please contact us via e-mail.

I worked for a
national humane organization that was involved in GH
rescue, and I know how wonderful they are. I can't have
one in my tiny apartment right now, but hope to adopt one
when I have a house. My one concern is that they may eat
my cats. Is there anyone out there that has had any
experience they can share on the subject? It's good to
know where I can go when I'm ready to adopt! Keep up the
good work.

I have two of the
greatest friends in the world - Rain and Breeze. Both are rescue
dogs and are some of the most gentle animals I have ever
known. Anyone who likes large dogs should consider GHs.
Don't be fooled. These dogs don't need a "country
acre" to run. They need a soft place to curl up and
be close to their human friends.

Wow!! I had no
idea what this was really all about. I think that it is
just great. I don't own GH, but I am a horse behavior
specialist who takes in ex-race horses, and own two
Doberman Pinchers who where the not at all registerable, and
would have been destroyed for the lack of
"quality." It really aggrivates me that humans
can be so narrow minded. It is inspiring to hear of
people like you all who have adopted these dogs. Maybe,
some day when my horse facility is done, and I have more
room for running, I would like to experience the joy of
friendship from these beautiful dogs. Keep up the wonderful
work!!! Kimberly Burk 2001@halcyon.com

We have three:
Jett; Tiger; and Shadow. All were adopted through the Greyhound
Rescue Society in Sugar Loaf NY. Only those who have
these beautiful and gentle creatures in their home can
fully understand the immediate bond that forms.
"Needle nose addiction". We have written to all states that
still condone racing and, to U-HAUL about their ads about
GH racing across some of their trucks. U-HAUL has
responded favorably to pressure from adoption groups. If
enough of us speak-up; we can we can bring an end to this
purnicious sport!!

We adopted our

in Indiana. We adopted our second greyhound, Honey, from
another family who could not take her when they moved
into a condominium outside of Chicago. They are wonderful
companions (for us and to each other)! No matter how lousy
a day we might have (week, month, etc), we are always met
at the door with a wag and a "hug" from
"the kids". The St. Louis REGAP and Greyhound Companion
groups are a wonderful support and social group (for the
people, too). Keep up the great work with this Website!

My family adopted
Dot in June of 1996. We are convinced that adopting Dot
is the best thing that we ever did. Although she had some
problems with housebreaking (at first), and she seems to
have a taste for furniture, we would never consider
getting rid of her. Greyhounds are a breed that need patience and
lots of attention because everything is new to them. If
you want to adopt a retired greyhound remember, you CAN
teach an old dog new tricks it just takes time. I love
this page it provides me with the information I need and
I can get into contact with other greyhound families for questions,etc..

I just have to say
that I am fasinated by Greyhounds and Whippets. I don't have
one because I already have two dogs a Belgian Turveran
and a rough collie. But I'm only 14 right now so I will
have to wait a few years before I can get one, even
though I am dieing to get either kind. I'm not sure if I
should adopt a greyhound or if I should go to a whippet
breeder. My first dog, I think, would be an adopted
greyhound. I would love to more information on adopting a greyhound,
so if anyone can give me some information it would be
much appericiated.

My two retired

fostering a year old puppy who was born at the rescue.
She just won't be housebroken and I've tried everything,
including a crate (which she wets, too). I've read three books
on dog psy chology/training and I'm convinced she has separation anxiety.
I welcome any advice, because nothing has helped so far.

reading your information about the "First Few

funny in retrospect. She barked at mirrors and had some
problems with the stairs. Ho wever, she is firmly in
place in both heart and home. One could only hope to find
a better house pet and companion.

My retired racer
(Christine, age 11) has been with me since July 1989 and
has been THE BEST companion during my travels from the
fields of Iowa to the hills of West Virginia, the open
spaces of Texas, the Grand Canyon in Arizona and the
Golden Gate bri dge in San Francisco, taking each move as
well as, or better, than I have. These noble creatures
are deserving of a far better fate than that which so
many will ultimately meet. Keep up the good work in spreading
the word about this exceptional and most deserving of

We have two
wonderful g'hounds, Stewie McFly and Phoebe Chance. We adopted
Phoebe just 5 weeks ago after the death of our oldest
retired racer, Digger Dan, who was almost 12. We have moved
to northern Virginia southwest of D.C. and are interested
in tr ading greyhound dogsitting services every once in
awhile with compatible greyhound addicts in our area --
but so far we've found none. Anyone out there live near
Woodbridge/Dumfries/Dale City, VA??

We adopted our
bundle of joy "DOE" 3 1/2 yrs. ago. What a
pleasure. Please join an organization like "Save the
Greyhound Dogs" to help end the constant sufferinf
these pets endure daily at the track.

I have been
incredibly touched by the info. on this web site. Thanks
so much! After viewing a broadcast on TV regarding the
saddening situation of present greyhound treatment, I
felt a need to assist in some way. I would really love to adopt
one of these beautiful animals in the near future and hopefully
prevent a senseless and horrific death of such a
wonderful creature. Your info. is definitely making a
difference...Until the greed of GH racing becomes
illegal, thanks for your insightful work.
