Cherry (Quick Chick) – red fawn field trial greyhound. Born 7/9/2020. Weighs 54 pounds.
Very affectionate! Cherry is not currently a zoomer. She is not high energy, could be related to her current meds (Cherry is heartworm positive and on medical hold during treatment.) Cherry has good house manners. Crates well. Notices critters in the yard but does not run full speed at them. Not much prey drive. Cherry is missing a toenail on her front left paw. 
She often holds it up when posing, as if she learned this behavior pattern. It does not bother her when moving nor when stationary. Her limp gets worse when she is crated. The adopter’s goal should be to wean her off the crate. Thunderstorms, guns, and fireworks make her nervous.
Ella retired early. Well, she never really had a career! She never went to a race. Her owner knew she was too shy and scared to compete like the other field trial hounds. She is a sweetheart once she gets comfortable. 
She is what we in the greyhound world call a “spook”. She runs from noises and sudden movements. Ella was born April 1st, 2025, no fooling, on April Fools Day! Only one year old. She will be cat safe. Her weight is 46 pounds. Ella is a very sweet girl, and will warm up to you after she knows you. But she will ALWAYS be a home-body. She is too nervous to go to a home with young children. This is not a hound to take with you to various events, she’d be too uneasy. She “spooks out”. She loves toys, and running off her youthful energy. See loves doing outside zoomies! She refuses to let strangers near her! That’s a common spook trait, not good on letting a new person approach them. Never aggressive, just avoids us if she can! She trembles in the beginning when you are new to her or when she is in an uncomfortable (to her) environment inside. Outside she runs off her nervous energy! Mid-July is the first time she has been in a home, learning home life. But she was never had an accident – potties only outside. Ellis is precious, but she needs a special home. (Ella is part greyhound, part coonhound. A lurcher.) She will do best with another confident dog in the house to show her the way and reassure her. But she is also “learning” not to overwhelm them with her puppy jumps. She is learning nonverbal dog to dog communications in her foster home. As far as we know, this is the first time she was allowed to play with other dogs off leash.
Coffee (FGF Black Coffee) – black male NGA greyhound, purebred. Very happy, outgoing, playful, curious! Born 3/15/2023; age 3. Tattoos 33B-75524. Weighs 74#. Coffee had 92 races all at Wheeling. 
Coffee does fine with other hounds his size. And he also has a rather distinguished naked booty! He will chitter and does sometimes sneak in a lkiss! Cat tolerable with slow introductions.
Adoption fee: $1200
Ginny (Someone Else)- nga greyhound (purebred) born 1/12/2024, so she is 2½ . Weighs 76#. Ebony black. Ginny is sweet, and playful with the other greyhounds. Ginny is a repaired fracture dog. She boasts of 28 races, 3 wins and 3 second places. But in her final race on April 16 she never finished, she broke her leg.
It is all better now, but that’s what retired her from racing. She runs like it was never broken. Like all repaired fracture dogs that we have adopted out, it looks a little strange. When a fractured bone heals, there is new fresh bone that grows (encompasses) around it. The bone repairs itself. But it always looks thicker, oddly lumpy, because of the layers of new bone. Don’t worry about letting her run on it – because the bones is actually STRONGER in that spot than it was before the break! Ginny still needs her fenced yard for off leash zoomies and greyhound running! Sometimes, she will limp, not out of pain, but just a learned habit. She will be cat tested soon, then she is coming to Prison Greyhounds. She didn’t seem prey driven when the geese were on the other side of the fence. The repaired leg is rounder thicker than it would be otherwise – typical of repaired / healed fracture.
Sky is a 20-month-old female, greyhound mix. She was born November 4, 2024. Sky has a crazy curl at the end of her tail. She is a beautiful red fawn. 
Sky is a sweet girl. She would like to be a lap dog. Her main interest is cuddling! Her weight is 47 pounds. Active in the grass yard throwing toys, running zoomies. NO CATS! Sky has never been around small kids, nor little dogs. She does need appropriate things to chew on, due to her young age and puppy brain. She has never been in a house!
“Handsome” Henry (racing name is Gameday) became our PRIORITY in the Summer Rescue Campaign. Everyone overlooks him. Because he is male. Because he is 8. And because he (temporarily) looks ridiculous! 
So we added the prefix HANDSOME to his name, hoping for subliminal messaging….We asked for Henry during our Summer Rescue focus: we will get this guy some air conditioning! And a quiet foster home away from all the noise of kennel construction. Henry was born 7/12/2018. A greyhound mix, a lurcher. Very calm, very sweet. Laid back, happy! He retired to Lurcher Project on June 5. When Vicki would visit him at the retirement kennel, Henry was always lying on the cement floor till she can take him out. Despite the fans, this was the only way he could cool off – on concrete floor. He is a laid back guy… most of the time. No cats or small dogs, he hates them. Henry will lunge at them especially if they bark at him. And…. Did you notice? He is embarrassingly bare right now! 
He was shaved, ready to race, but retired instead. Some old-school dog owners think that shaving a dog makes it easier to find ticks on them as they run through the fields. Some think it cools the dog down. Adopters – don’t try this at home! But his fur is already growing back fast! He really is quite handsome!
