Looking for pretty and playful? That's our Scout, a beautifully masked red girl, ready and eager to move on to her own home after surgical repair of a broken leg. She is all recovered, and ready to go. This happy girl is looking for a life of greyhound fun and games and lots of affection. Scout will bring lots of smiles to her new forever family. Scout's ideal home would have a fenced yard, preferably in the suburbs. She cannot live with cats and she is not small dog tolerant. Older kids would be her preferred playmates. She's been waiting a long time to find her very own family - could this little girl be the perfect hound for you?

See Scout's Foster Update Page for more information on how she was doing in her foster home!

Nelly is a smart, confident, affectionate girl who loves company and playing fetch. She loves going out for walks and has learned to walk well on leash. She would do well as an only hound but could also make a good companion for another dog. This well behaved girl wants nothing more than to be with someone and has been waiting a long time. If you have a yard and lots of tennis balls, you may be the one!

Cat Tolerant: Not Likely

This handsome boy had a rough start but with TLC, extra food and vitamin B12, he has progressed into a stunning, playful and affectionate guy. Being so young, he is curious, LOVES toys and is very snuggly. This sweetheart will still need monthly vitamin B12 injections (one per month, it takes 2 seconds!) for about a year. It will be inexpensive and easy. Otherwise he is happy and healthy but he cannot live with small creatures like cats or birds. He is littermate to our recently adopted Winnie and Fame and will surely be just as good a pet as they are.

Alright, everyone. I'm tired of waiting, so I asked the folks at Greyhounds Only if I could write my own bio! So let ME tell you all about myself!

Firstly, I love baby pools! Just look at all the pictures of me - can't you just tell what a happy girl I am?

Secondly, I love to run and play! If you have a fenced yard, I'm your gal! I'd love to have some kids and other dogs to play with, as well!

Thirdly, I'm tired of waiting! I want to find a home before that white stuff comes back - so can't you make ME the bride, for once?

Weight: 62 lbs
Color: Dark Brindle
Location: ChicaGO Kennel
Cat Tolerant: Likely

Hal is the happiest guy ever! This dark brindle beauty came to us from Florida with some medical issues that have since cleared up perfectly. He is now ready to roll and show off just how much he loves life. He’s a non-stop tail-wagging, kissy, huggy, playful young boy that would do great in a yard or frequent trips to the dog park. He wouldn’t mind another playful dog as a companion but because he is a confident dude would probably be fine as an only hound, as long as he gets his daily dose of tummy rubs. At his first meet & greet he made many fast friends including small children but because he is strong on leash, we recommend he live with older children.

Cat Tolerant: Not Likely

Kraven is a happy, playful boy! He loves people, and his favorite thing to do is be loved on! He is very friendly, but doesn't always show well at the kennel - as he can initially be a little too bouncy! He settles down nicely after a good walk - and will benefit greytly from getting into a home! He is well-behaved with other dogs, and would make an excellent companion for school aged children. Kraven should settle down nicely once in a home, which he is definitely ready for!

Kraven has moved into a foster home, where he has turned into a delightful companion. See his foster notes for more information!

Weight: 69 lbs
Color: Tuxedo Black
Location: ChicaGO Kennel
Cat Tolerant: Not Likely

This boy could use some leash work – he doesn’t walk well on one! He is a ball of energy and a ton of fun! When squeaking the toy during his evaluation, he had all four feet off the floor and jumped higher than the volunteer’s head to reach it. His teeth chatter when he’s playing because he’s so excited. He would probably do better in a home with a fenced yard and some active children to wear him out.

This girl has a huge overbite! From the side, she looks like a shark! Rhythm is moderately active, gentle, busy and playful. She is just a ball of fun and should do well just about anywhere.

Nikki sure knows how to have fun! This is a happy girl, who is playful, friendly and outgoing. Because she tends to jump when playing, she would do better with school-aged children in a moderately active home.

Friendly, outgoing and affectionate describe this boy. Rock is playful, but gentle and tolerant. He appears to have some interest in toys, but would much rather get affection from people. Because he tends to jump, he should either be leash walked or have a home with a 6-foot fence. His people skills, however, are wonderful and he would be a great boy to take to meet & greets.

Cris is gentle and tolerant, but lacks confidence. He may do better as a second hound to help him with his socialization.

Goodie is a happy, energetic girl! She would like a home with a moderate level of activity.
