Adoptable Greyhounds

Here are some pictures of Greyhounds currently living at Greys'Land awaiting adoption.  Keep in mind that Greyhounds do not just come in a variety of colors; they come in a variety of personalities as well.  It is the dog's personality, not its pretty face, that makes for a good or bad fit in your home. Whether you are looking for one that is very active and playful, very calm and docile, or somewhere in between, chances are there is a Greyhound that will fit your lifestyle.

Because of our high turnover, there is no guarantee that any dog on this page is still available. Also, recently arrived Greyhounds may not yet be posted to this site.

If you are interested in adopting a Greyhound, step #1 is to complete our online application form. This form in no way obligates you to adopt; it merely gives us information about you that will help us guide you to the best dog for your family. You are also welcome to come out and meet some of our adoptables and talk to Greyhound owners at our Meet and Greets. Just check our schedule to see where we are each weekend. 


Without further ado, here are some of our beautiful pups!


Greyhound Profile: Ava
 
Name: Ava
Sex: Female
Age: 2 Years
Color: Dark Brindle
Status: New
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

With her white chest against that dark coat, and the way she holds her head and prances around on 4 white feet, Ava is a real show-stopper. And she is as affectionate and friendly as she is pretty.  Still a pup who just celebrated her 2nd birthday, Ava just wasn’t cut out for the track.  She’s much better suited to becoming a charming addition to a welcoming family.



Greyhound Profile: Chaz
 
Name: Chaz
Sex: Male
Age: 3.5 Years
Color: Red
Status: New
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

This handsome guy with the gorgeous eyes never quite matched the reputation of his famous dad, even though he looked like him.  Sweet and well-behaved, he is eager to find a forever home of his very own.




Greyhound Profile: Icey
 
Name: Icey
Sex: Female
Age: 2.5 Years
Color: Black
Status: Adoptable
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Icey is just a happy, joyful pretty young girl who makes you smile with her exuberance.  She loves to give hip hugs by wrapping her front feet around your hips.  While she never made it very far on the track, she is sure to make it deep into the heart of that person who will appreciate her love of life.




Greyhound Profile: John
 
Name: John
Sex: Male
Age: 4 Years
Color: Red
Status: Adoptable
Cat Tolerant: No
   

 

John is one of those striking red boys with liquid melt-your-heart eyes. He loves to be outdoors investigating every corner of the yard.  He will surely make a handsome addition to any home décor.




Greyhound Profile: Gibby
 
Name: Gibby
Sex: Male
Age: 4 Years
Color: Light Brindle
Status: Adopted
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

A favorite of his trainers, this happy, lovable boy pushed so hard to win on the track. But even though he was “in the money” more than 50% of the time, each race was a struggle for him. So, the decision was made to retire him and let him become a couch potato in some lucky family’s home.

 




Greyhound Profile: Garnet
 
Name: Garnet
Sex: Female
Age: 1.75 Years
Color: Dark Brindle
Status: Adopted
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Garnet is the prettiest and sweetest of 4 sisters born to a top-racing mama.  Unfortunately, none of the little girls wanted to run, so she is the second one to come to us in Atlanta.  She is a quiet, well-behaved girl for her young age and will lay her head in your lap to wait for kisses. You can often pick her out of the pack because she likes to carry one ear forward and one ear back. 




 

Greyhound Profile: Heart
 
Name: Heart
Sex: Female
Age: 1.75 Years
Color: Red & White
Status: New
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Still a puppy, this lovely little girl decided early on that life on the track was not for her.  Even though she gave up racing, she will come running when she’s called. She loves attention and tries to grab all she can.

 




Greyhound Profile: Homer
 
Name: Homer
Sex: Male
Age: 3 years
Color: Brindle
Status: New
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Homer is a good-looking fellow with a white blaze and strong “tiger” stripes on his face. A friendly guy who just wasn’t enthused by a career on the track, he is eager to come when he is called and then courteously bow in front of you.



Greyhound Profile: Kay
 
Name: Kay
Sex: Female
Age: 1.5 Years
Color: Brindle
Status: Adopted
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Little Kay is still a pup, so young that you can still see the evidence of the shearing of her Oklahoma winter puppy coat. Never cut out for a life on the track, Kay is very sweet and affectionate.  She even knows her name and comes when called. And when she looks up at you with those soft pleading eyes in that lovely dark face, you have to stop and give her hugs.

 




Greyhound Profile: Love
 
Name: Love
Sex: Female
Age: 3.5 years
Color: Brindle
Status: New
Cat Tolerant: Workable
   

 

This is a most attractive, spirited girl who is very personable but somewhat of a diva.  She insists on being noticed and is a bit on the bossy side, probably as the result of many races being challenged by the big boys. She showed a lot of interest in cats the first time she met them, but the next time they seemed to scare her. So, we’re guessing she could be “workable” with someone who had the love and patience to properly introduce her.



Greyhound Profile: Bindi
 
Name: Bindi
Sex: Female
Age: 1.75 Years
Color: White & Brindle
Status: Adoptable
Cat Tolerant: Workable
   

 

Sweet Bindi won't even be 2 years old until September. She is a cute little thing who is totally white except for one brindle spot on her hip. Her breeder/trainer had great hopes for her because of her star-studded pedigree.  Her mother was an outstanding runner with dozens of big wins to her credit.  But Bindi just couldn't care less about the track. All she wants is to climb up and be cuddled.

 

Greyhound Profile: Charge
 
Name: Charge
Sex: Male
Age: 4.5 Years
Color: Red Brindle
Status: Adoptable
Cat Tolerant: Possibly Workable
   

 

With a very successful racing career behind him, Charge is on a mission to find his forever home. He is a handsome friendly guy who refuses to be ignored, so c'mon out and meet him.



Greyhound Profile: Nana
 
Name: Nana
Sex: Female
Age: 4 Years
Color: Black
Status: Adoptable
Cat Tolerant: No
   

 

Nana is a strikingly sleek and shiny petite girl hot off the track with lots of money-making races under her belt.  While she's definitely an alpha girl (not cat tolerant and possibly not small dog tolerant either), she gets along well with all the other Greys, is extremely friendly, and follows you around everywhere. 




Greyhound Profile: Dinka
 
Name: Dinka
Sex: Female
Age: 3.5 Years
Color: White Ticked
Status: Adoptable
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

We call her "Dalmatian Dinka" because her whole body, including her face, is unusually spotted, just like a Dalmatian.  As if that doesn't make you notice her, she has the most adorable personality.  She is very affectionate and treats you with big smiles when you talk to her.  She has also been known to make "woo-woo" noises to get your attention.




Greyhound Profile: Pearl
 
Name: Pearl
Sex: Female
Age: 4.5 Years
Color: Red Brindle
Status: Adopted
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Lady Pearl is pretty, petite, and oh so friendly.  She spent a goodly time on the track but now just wants to find that someone she can crowd in next to and get hugs.

 



Greyhound Profile: Rosie
 
Name: Rosie
Sex: Female
Age: 3 Years
Color: Red Brindle
Status: Adopted
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Rosie is a pretty little Iowa gal who didn't do much racing, but she sure is happy, bouncy, and full of personality.  She gets all excited when you "baby talk" to her.  As soon as she arrived, she was quick to jump up on the bed and to check out all the kitchen countertops




Greyhound Profile: Taz
 
Name: Taz
Sex: Male
Age: 4 Years
Color: Red
Status:

Adoptable

Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Taz is a small boy who is very calm and easygoing. And he is also very handsome – dark red in color with gorgeous mascara'd eyes. Despite the well-known racers in his background, Taz just didn't cotton to the track and is now more interested in finding a "forever" home. 

 



Greyhound Profile: Flight Path
 
Name: Flight Path
Sex: Male
Age: 2 Years
Color: Brindle
Status: Adoptable
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Flight Path just turned 2 in May, so he didn’t spend much time on the track.  He is a friendly young man who likes a lot of attention.  He is somewhat on the small side, so, if you are looking for a handsome male but don’t want a big one, this guy just might fit the bill.




Greyhound Profile: Miso
 
Name: Miso
Sex: Male
Age: 3.5 Years
Color: Brindle
Status: New
Cat Tolerant: No
   

 

This young man raced out in Phoenix, so his background is pretty much unknown to us.  However, he is a likable guy, certainly handsome, and, despite testing “Not Cat Safe”, he is very well behaved.




Greyhound Profile: Meo
 
Name: Meo
Sex: Female
Age: 3 Years
Color: Black
Status: Adoptable
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

"Me O Me O My" is what they called her on the track, a sleek black copy of her famous father.  She is so petite it's hard to imagine her racing at all, but she held her own in several dozen races.  Now that's she's retired she's very sweet and just a wee bit shy.  She definitely wants loving and will rub up against you to get attention, but she's just not as "pushy" as some of the other girls.

 



Greyhound Profile: Vinny
 
Name: Vinny
Sex: Male
Age: 4.25 years
Color: Red
Status: New
Cat Tolerant: Workable
   

 

With the blood of a famous sire and grandsire in his veins, Vinny leaves the track with a respectable list of successful “in the money” races. Often looking comical with one ear forward and one ear back, he is an active, fun boy who likes to play in the water dish and should make a great companion. So far, his tests with cats are inconclusive. Sometimes he cares; sometimes he doesn’t.              

 

 



Greyhound Profile: Vista
 
Name: Vista
Sex: Female
Age: 3 Years
Color: White & Brindle
Status: Adoption Pending
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

This sparkling personality is hard to ignore.  Not only is Vista beautiful, but she will follow you around, asking for hugs and kisses. She did spend some time on the track but is now eagerly looking for a soft bed, a squeaky toy, and a human to call her own. 




Greyhound Profile: Prosecutor
 
Name: Prosecutor
Sex: Male
Age: 4 Years
Color: Black
Status: Adopted
Cat Tolerant: Yes
   

 

Prosecutor did live up to his name by being rather intimidating on the track; he was "in the money" the majority of his races.  Now he is a happy, well-behaved and friendly fellow looking for a quiet place to spend his retirement.



Greyhound Profile: Mikey
 
Name: Mikey
Sex: Male
Age: 3 Years
Color: Brindle
Status: Adopted
Cat Tolerant: No
   

 

Mikey is a Midwestern boy who spent most of his racing life out in Iowa, running for the Bluffs Run Casino in Council Bluffs.  He comes to us with the notation that he is "a very friendly boy", and so far he has lived up to that description. He is also quite handsome with lovely brindle markings.
