Deva (originally named Allie; racing name Strong Desire) is a 7-year-old red female, retired field trial racing greyhound. She was born 11/4/2017. She weighs approximately 60 pounds. Deva has learned a lot during her time in a foster home – and we have learned a lot about her.  She loves people and some medium or large sized dogs.  Deva needs to be properly introduced to other dogs (no face-to-face introductions, please).  Once she gets to know the other dog, she delights in their company.  However, she does not like small dogs.  She would prefer that any canine companion be ok with her in their space.  She also prefers a more “contact/physical” and “mouthy” play style than a typical greyhound.  However, Deva plays well on her own, and we think she would be ok as an only dog.

Her favorite activity is chasing tennis balls in the backyard.  She also loves toys and will throw them in the air and run around in the house with any toy that squeaks. Deva has more energy than a typical greyhound, but less than a high energy dog.  She would do best in a normal to active household.  She is kid friendly, but due to her mouthy tendencies, she would do best with school aged children or older.  She is not aggressive – she just likes to put things in her mouth when she gets excitedly happy! Deva has a lot of fun and silly traits.  She roos at people and animals that she sees or hears!  She shakes her head when she gets excited!  She “chatters” her teeth! Very endearing. She taps her feet and dances around when she wants to go outside!  Deva knows how to go up and down stairs, is fully housebroken, crates easily, loves to lounge on human furniture, and sleeps through the night.  Deva rides well in a car. She has fully transitioned into a house pet and is just waiting for her forever home – without cats or small dogs! Deva’s adoption fee is $200.
