Profile of Adoptables

Jake: On August 30, 2025, Jake was surrendered to American Lurcher Project with his littermate (John) from Hillsboro, Ohio. Their former owner planned to use them for hunting. But we don’t even know if they were trained for hunting. They were never field trial racers. Their owner came into circumstances in which he was no longer able to care for the dogs. He asked for help, and American Lurcher Project responded! Jake was born May 2022, so today he is 3. Under the care of The American Lurcher Project, John and Jake got healthy again rather quickly! A new chapter in their lives had begun. We adopted out littermate John, he is doing extremely well. So now it is time to find a home for Jake. We asked for him to come to us! Jake is very fast, very playful, and very sweet. Extremely handsome, rather tall! Even stunning. He loves people, all people. He is good with children. Jake is small-dog safe, he loves dogs of all sizes.. He is a happy boy that loves to carry his stuffies around. He likes being close to people, and likes to lean on you for affectionate pets and scratches! He is a happy, healthy, tail wagging weight of about 80 pounds.  But despite his size, he is calm and easy to walk! He needs a great dane sized crate, until he can be transitioned off his crate.

JJ – is a black and tan male. It looks like he has a black blanket of fur on top of his brindle legs. Handsome, sweet. A field trial greyhound lurcher. Born December 2020; Age 5. Another tall guy! He weighs 72 pounds. A happy boy! (JJ came into retirement thru the WINTER RESCUE PROJECT) He is not reactive to any of the dogs he has come across. He tested small-dog compatible, but he is not cat safe. JJ is fairly quiet for a hound, not much of a barker. He loves being outside, typical of a field trial greyhound. He learned the new routine pretty quickly. He entertains himself well with Yak bones. He needs a great dane sized crate, until he can be transitioned off his crate.

 

 

 

Bristol – 2-year-old brindle female, a field trial greyhound, born 9/30/2023. Age 2. She was a little scared coming into the Pet Center. It was so new to her. She warms up fast to people. She is a sweet and pretty girl. No small dogs, probably no cats either. She has learned to fetch a ball and bring it back so you can throw it, most of the time! Her tail wagging so it seems she is happy to please you.

Everest – A brindle female. Born Aug 2022, age 3. Very sweet, very smart. Great with kids, okay with small dogs too. Tested cat tolerable also! She listens well. She is excited coming out of her kennel, does some zoomies, and then settles down.  She has been around kids age 5 & 6 years old, while on leash or in the kennel. If too excited, she does like to jump up during play though!
