Blaster is as sweet as they come! He’s curious, playful, and sometimes mellow, with a gentle, slightly timid side when faced with unexpected sounds or movements. His soft black coat feels like velvet, and he’s eager to learn and please.

He enjoys zoomies in the yard but is calm and relaxed indoors. He’s respectful of the resident senior dog, good on walks, house-trained, and has mastered the stairs.

Tall, strong, and athletic, Blaster is surprisingly gentle and mindful of his size. He’ll do best with active adopters who can have fun with him and continue to teach him life as a pet. A home without young children or cats is recommended.

2 year old cat safe Drew is interviewing for his forever family. His foster mom says he’s a very good boy because he sleeps through the night and gets along so well with all of his foster sibbies, greyhounds and galgos.

He enjoys playing with toys and his foster mom tells us that he takes correction well, which is just awesome in learning pet life. He respects his foster sibbies’ bowls when finished eating and backs off when his foster mom tells him NO when sniffing her plate.

He’s still working on house training (so yes, some of his pics he sporting a belly bank) although he doesn’t have accidents overnight or when left in an xpen for a few hours. He may be one of those very special greyhounds who needs to go out for a pee immediately after eating.

We feel that he would do best in a home with at least one other greyhound, hoomans who are home more than away and that don’t want to take their hounds on vacation as Drew doesn’t do well on long car rides. He prefers to drive rather than be a passenger.

Fantasia, affectionately known as Fanny, is an absolutely adorable girl who will soon be celebrating her 3rd birthday on September 5th. She’s every bit as sweet as she looks! With her striking black-and-white coat and soulful eyes little pink & black depigmented nose, she’s a beauty on the outside, but it’s her gentle, loving nature that will truly steal your heart.

Fanny is a tender-hearted little soul. She can be a bit shy and submissive at first, but she very much wants to be friends and often looks to her people for reassurance and approval. Once she feels safe, her sweet personality shines through beautifully.

She gets along well with other dogs, both large and small. Cats are still a bit of a mystery for her — her initial testing suggested she may not be suitable for a home with cats, though she has calmly observed some from a distance without interest. One thing we do know for sure: as the photo shows, she’s quite comfortable around horses!

Fantasia would thrive in a quieter home with another confident dog to help show her the ropes and build her confidence. A peaceful environment will help this sensitive girl blossom, while a loud, rowdy household may feel a little overwhelming for her.

She truly is a diamond in the rough. With a little patience, love, and gentle guidance, Fantasia will shine brighter than the sun. Beneath that timid exterior is an absolute angel just waiting for the right family to help her sparkle.

KP…does it stand for kinda perfect?  We think so!

KP arrived from West Virginia in late June and now that he has mastered home life, he is looking for his forever family.

KP is a large boy and full of personality.  He has mastered his leash manners and loves taking walks with his foster Mom because there is a lot of activity to scope out along the route.  As he passes other walkers, he loves to be recognized and will eagerly greet anyone along the way to say hello.  He is comfortable with cars passing and the noises of lawn mowers and all other things he encounters.  He is not reactive to other dogs or any wildlife that he sees and his foster Mom thinks that he would do just fine with other dogs or a cat in the house.

At home KP has figured out how to navigate stairs…especially if there is a treat waiting for him!  He has good dinner manners as he does not eat fast nor look to others bowls to steal any food and after dinner time all he wants to do is snuggle up and look loving up at you in hopes you’ll give him a gentle ear scratching to help him doze off next to you.

This boy would do well in a home with an active family as he loves his walks and being able to scope out everything going on out in the world.  Since he is a larger boy, we think older kids would be a better fit as he does not realize his size when he’s trying to come up to you for a kiss or settle in next to you.

All of this makes him a kinda perfect companion…he’s ready and waiting for you!!!

Midnite may never have raced on the track, but he’s more than ready to race straight into your heart. At just 2 years old, this sweet, gentle soul is quietly waiting for a family to show him what it means to be a pet.

He’s a sensitive boy who can be a little unsure of the world, but beneath that timid exterior is a heart that desperately wants to please. With patience, kindness, and gentle guidance, Midnite has all the potential to blossom into a confident, devoted companion.

He would thrive in a home with another friendly hound to help show him the ropes and a family who can spend plenty of time with him. He’s not the kind of dog who wants to spend long days alone—he’s happiest knowing his people are nearby.

It’s easy to see why Midnite is a favorite among everyone who meets him. His quiet sweetness has a way of stealing hearts, and now all he needs is a forever family to call his own. Could yours be the one he’s been waiting for?

Sam is one incredibly handsome dark brindle with the most soulful, expressive eyes. Nothing escapes his notice—whether it’s a fluttering bird, a falling leaf, or something moving in the distance, he’s always taking in the world around him. While he may come across as a little enthusiastic when you first meet him, it doesn’t take long for his easygoing, affectionate personality to shine. He’s a sweet boy who genuinely wants to make his people happy.

A true nature lover, Sam believes every walk is an adventure. He’ll happily inspect every leaf, stop to sniff every flower, and could spend ages watching birds with endless fascination. He’s curious in the most charming way.

Sam is wonderfully friendly and never says no to a good ear rub. In fact, your hand will probably get tired before he’s ready for you to stop! At home, he’s an expert at dramatic bed flops and long, cozy naps, but the crinkle of a snack wrapper or the sight of his favorite person heading for the door has him up in an instant, excited to see what adventure might come next.

One of Sam’s newest discoveries is the joy of dog toys, and it’s been a delight to watch. He proudly carries his favorite toy from room to room, as if making sure it’s always close by.

Sam is the kind of dog who brings a smile wherever he goes—a gentle, curious, and loving companion who’s ready to share life’s little adventures and plenty of quiet moments with the lucky family who welcomes him home.

Sometimes life doesn’t seem to play fair, and that’s certainly been the case for our sweet little Sitchy. At just 2 years old, she’s already faced more than her share of challenges, but you would never know it by the way she greets each day—with a happy heart, a playful spirit, and so much love to give.

When we welcomed Sitchy into foster care, we knew something wasn’t quite right with her left eye. After a visit to the outstanding ophthalmology team at the Animal Medical Center in NYC, she was diagnosed with Pannus, an immune-mediated eye condition that causes the body to attack the cornea. Left untreated, it can eventually lead to blindness. The good news is that with lifelong medication and regular care, the condition can be managed. While only her left eye is currently affected, both eyes are being treated to help keep them healthy.

The best part? Sitchy has absolutely no idea she has a medical condition. She’s far too busy enjoying life! She loves to play, soaks up every scratch and pet she can get, and has the sweetest, most endearing personality that makes everyone who meets her fall in love.

Like many retired racers, she’s been learning all about life as a pet. She can be a little shy about doing her business while on leash, so a securely fenced yard would make life much easier for her. She’s already made wonderful progress and continues to gain confidence every day. There is one thing we do know for certain—Sitchy thinks cats are way too exciting, so a feline-free home is a must.

On paper, it might seem like Sitchy has a few strikes against her: a lifelong eye condition, she’d love a fenced yard, would welcome another hound for security but no cats. But anyone lucky enough to know her will tell you those are tiny details compared to the joy she’ll bring to her forever family.

Somewhere out there is the person who will look past the checkboxes and see what we see—a young, happy girl with an enormous heart, ready to love with everything she’s got. We know that family is out there, and when they find Sitchy, they’ll wonder how they ever lived without her.  And to that special family, we will provide 3 months of her medication.

Smart… Fun… Helpful… and a Hug-Giver, Too!
Yep, Xavier checks all those boxes—and then some!

Xavier arrived from West Virginia in late June, and his foster Mom has quickly discovered what a truly lovely boy he is. He’s young, fun, curious, and apparently has decided that being a good houseguest means helping with the chores!

He has mastered the stairs and even figured out the doggy door. He loves to play, eats like a champ, and has learned that good boys wait patiently for their meals. He enjoys his walks and is a terrific leash companion.

And then there’s his helpful side. When his foster Mom sweeps, Xavier thinks the throw rugs need to be picked up, too—and he’ll even attempt to help carry the laundry to the washer. We’re not sure how much actual laundry makes it into the washing machine, but we certainly appreciate the enthusiasm!

Xavier is an energetic young guy, so we think he’d be a wonderful match for a family with older children who are ready for some fun. He isn’t quite the bravest of the bunch, though, so having another dog in his forever home would be important. A confident canine companion would help show him the ropes and remind him that the world really is a pretty wonderful place.

He loves his toys, enjoys being outside, likes taking walks, and is always ready to hop aboard whatever adventure you have planned. Basically, if you’re going somewhere, Xavier would like to know one thing:

“Can I come, too?”

And did we mention the hugs?

Xavier gives them freely and apparently believes that every good human deserves one.

He’s a whole lot of fun wrapped up in one handsome greyhound package—and he’s waiting to meet the lucky family who gets to discover just how special he is!
