JD (Jack, On the Fly)

JD (Jack, racing name was On the Fly) is a stunningly handsome 7-year-old field trial racing greyhound. A greyhound lurcher.  He was born 4/23/2017. He retired in February 2024. He weighs 85 pounds. This guy is Mr. Personality! He loves people, and does well with large hounds that can appreciate his playful exuberance. He does play bows, even to his people. He walks well on leash, enjoys long hikes and more interested in moving that stopping and sniffing! He lets other dogs alone. He does however like to meet and lean on people! JD has settled into a routine. He would be too much for toddlers, but good with older kids. He love, love, loves thick braided rope toys. JD has been in foster care for a long time because he needed special medication for almost 6 months, to be healed from a nose fungus called Blastomycosis. HE is TOTALLY HEALED NOW, with a lab test to confirm. It took a while to diagnose correctly, because this fungus is common in the south, but only recently started popping up in parts of Ohio. At first it was assumed to be a severe allergy causing a crustiness. Dr Roth in Celina Animal Hospital in Ohio correctly diagnosed it  to be a nose fungus – which is NOT contagious, but looked awful- something that he picked up from snooting thru the grounds of rural Cincinnati. He is the sweetest boy and loves attention from people. He was also treated successfully for Lyme disease. Now he is healthy, happy, and ready to go! And he loves to go – whether on walks, hikes, or for a ride. He rides very well in the car. No cats!
