Adopted Dogs


Bonnie

Bonnie - ADOPTED

Bonnie (racing name CTW Sunbonnet) is a 4 year old white and black female. More to come as Bonnie's personality emerges.
Clarice

Clarice - ADOPTED

Clarice (racing name Private Clarice) is a nearly 4 year old dark brindle female. She weighs 61 pounds. Clarice has a wise, old soul look about her, but don't let that fool you - she is curious about everything and has earned herself more corrections than her younger foster housemates (nothing serious-just garden variety fresh-off-the-track things like counter surfing). The good news is that she's easily correctable - a sharp "uh-uh" is all it takes for her to slink away with that guilty dog look. Clarice discovered that the sofa is much more comfortable than any old dog bed and has spent her days there ever since (smart girl!). Clarice likes to play with stuffed toys and is very good about being groomed and having her nails trimmed. She stands still in the tub and picks her feet up for nail trims. Clarice likes belly rubs and will roll over when you walk by to entice you to give her a rub (who can resist?). She is very affectionate - she'll walk up to you for a neck scratch, and before you know it her front half has wormed its way onto your lap and she's snoring. Clarice gets along well with other greyhounds but we're not sure about small dogs, cats, or small critters yet.
Kelly

Kelly - ADOPTED

Kelly Berry (racing name Kelly Raspberry) is a lively, playful pup (she just turned two). Kelly is a red brindle and she weighs 63 pounds. She finds her crate cozy and comforting, and she likes to romp around with her greyhound friends. We think that her racing career met an early end because her true calling was stuffy throwing. She is adjusting well to living in a home. She's affectionate and true to her name, sweet like a berry. She gets along well with other greyhounds but we're not sure about small dogs, cats, or small critters yet.
George

George - ADOPTED

George (racing name CTW Halo George) is a four year old male who is white with red brindle patches. He also has red and black ticking. George weighs 84 pounds but he is in perfect shape, not an ounce of fat on him. He is very affectionate and is elated every time his foster dad returns...from work or just taking the trash out. He gets along well with other greyhounds but we're not sure about small dogs, cats, or small critters yet.
Smoke

Smoke - ADOPTED

Smoke (racing name CTW Smoke Screen) is a four year old boy who is white with black patches and black ticking. He is a svelte seventy pounds. Smoke is always wagging his tail and talking to his foster dad. He loves attention and is very affectionate. He gets along well with other greyhounds but we're not sure about small dogs, cats, or small critters yet.
Manny

Manny - ADOPTED

Manny is a two year and seven month old white male with sparse amounts of ticking. He has a dark brindle patch on his right side, by his front leg. Manny has brindle ears and most of his head is brindle. Manny is not cat friendly. Stay tuned for more details as Manny's personality emerges....
Percy

Percy - ADOPTED

Percy (racing name EZ Pursesnatcher) is a 70 pound boy with beautiful golden brown eyes. Percy is sweet and affectionate and will patiently wait for his turn to be loved on. He likes to be where his humans are and will follow them from room to room. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and likes to run around the backyard with them, chasing and being chased. Percy has excellent house manners and he learned the dog door in just a few days. He is cat workable and he gets along well with small dogs. Percy can be quite a talker when he wants to tell you something and he gets especially excited when his foster parents wake up in the morning. Percy also smiles when he's happy.
Apple

Apple - ADOPTED

Apple is an extremely energetic brindle girl. She loves to go for long walks. She will make a great running mate for a family that is committed to exercise daily. She loves to play with anything that squeaks and gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home. Apple is great with children but because of her energy level would fit best in a home with older children. She is a strong-willed dog with a mind of her own but with consistent work she was taught to sit and take her food politely. Apple is trained to relax in her crate when her family is out and to sleep at night. Apple is not a good match for a family with cats or small dogs. This beautiful young girl needs a family with lots of love and attention to give. She will be the APPLE of your eye.
Aristotle

Aristotle - ADOPTED

AKA "The Kissing Bandit." You just never know when I'm gonna get you! My name is Aristotle and I'm a three year old, seventy pound boy. I'm blue brindle with a white chest and toes. I raced over sixty times at the track in Corpus Christi, Texas. Then, I decided that giving kisses and the occasional donut from Krispy Kreme was a whole lot better deal. Presently I'm residing with three other greyhounds and a borzoi. I'm doing great and my foster dad says I'm really obedient on a lead. I'm full of energy and sneak up and give kisses every time I get a chance. So, if your kissing meter is a little on the low side, give me a jingle. No cats or small dogs please.
Gameboy

Gameboy - ADOPTED

Gameboy (racing name BS Rossy) is a 2 year old red brindle male with a tiny little face (they called him "chipmunk face" at the racing kennel). Gameboy weighs 72 pounds. He has golden brown eyes and loves to give lots of quick little kisses (but only if you ask for them). He is a very happy boy and wags his tail quite a lot. He is one of the easiest greyhounds his foster family has ever had the pleasure of hosting - he learned their dog door in an hour and never had an accident in the house, he gets along well with the other dogs and is respectful of their space, and he is eager to please and very correctable. Gameboy likes to play with stuffed toys and runs around the house and yard tossing and shaking his stuffies. Gameboy is a bit of a watchdog, an unusual quality in a greyhound. He gets along well with both large and tiny dogs but we're not sure about cats or small critters yet.
Danny

Danny - ADOPTED

Danny O'Malley is a gorgeous 4 year old red fawn boy. He's a happy boy who loves to be petted and sweet talked and his tail never seems to stop wagging. Danny is smart, learns quickly, and obeys the rules of his foster home. He also gets along well with the resident cat.
Freddy

Freddy - ADOPTED

Freddy is just off the track and is adjusting well to home life. He's such a good boy. He's incredibly affectionate, and very sensitive, but in no way fearful. He's confident and gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home. More details to follow as Freddy's personality emerges...
Christie

Christie - ADOPTED

Christie is a small red brindle female and is 2 years old. Her racing name was Power Overdrive. Christie's last race was on March 17, 2007. When she first came in as a foster dog in June, she was somewhat depressed and very sad. There is a possibility she missed the racing and the excitement of the racing kennel. However, she has now come out of her "funk" and her world is wonderful again. She learned the dog door in 10 minutes, how to sit in 5. She is very curious about everything, especially the TV. She wants to please and all she asks in return is a little scratching on the tummy. Chrisite is very intelligent and might do well in obedience classes. No cats or small dogs please.
Clown

Clown - ADOPTED

Clown is quite a striking boy. His papers say he's white with red, but he's really more of a Starbucks Mocha Light Frappuccino color. His mocha is like a saddle on his body. His head is kind of the same way and he looks like he's wearing black eyeliner. He weighs 72 pounds (average size for a male). Clown is two years and one month old.
Betty

Betty Sue - ADOPTED

Betty Sue is a tiny little pixie of a greyhound. She weighs around 55 pounds. Betty is two years and five months old. She's pure white with no ticking. Betty Sue has one brindle ear and a patch on her left hip. Betty is cat workable.
Snappy

Snappy - ADOPTED

Snappy is just off the track but has been a perfect house guest from the minute she walked into her foster home. She loves to play with toys and it's a joy to watch her run circles in the yard while tossing toys in the air and catching them. Snappy is super smart - she learned the dog door in 5 minutes flat and you can just tell by looking at her that she's figuring things out. Snappy minds well and is very gentle and affectionate. She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home. Her nickname is "the sidler" because she constantly sidles up next to her foster parents to see what they're doing. Snappy hops around in circles when she gets excited and has never met a stranger. Snappy is a dark red brindle and she weighs 60 pounds. We're not sure if she is small dog- or cat-friendly - test results to be posted soon.
Blaze

Blaze - ADOPTED

"Here comes, "Blazin Bronx" round the turn." I can hear it like it was just yesterday. Actually, it wasn't all that long ago. I came to Austin on the 21st of February. Been racing to the food bowl to keep my 76lbs slim, trim, brindle physique in shape. Not sure it's working though. Happy go lucky, unless I see a cat and then all bets are off. Small dogs are OK, though.
Here's an update from Blaze's foster family (6/20): Blaze has settled into his role as housepet very nicely. He has turned into quite an affectionate fellow and will stand with his head in our laps for as long as we will pet him, tail wagging the whole time. Blaze LOVES to eat and we call him our "little supervisor" because he really does supervise us when we prepare food for the dogs. We keep waiting for him to tell us we forgot to add something! He gets very excited when we are about to put the food bowls down and jumps up and down, up and down, up and down until his bowl is put down. Blaze loves stuffed toys and he also likes to play fetch with a ball. Blaze is an absolute love and will make a great addition to any family.
Tahoe

Tahoe - ADOPTED

Tahoe is a sweet little girl who never met a stranger. Her tail just wags and wags and wags all the time. She was such a good greyhound ambassador that she was adopted before we even had a chance to add her to our list of available dogs. Way to go, Tahoe!
Kenzie

Kenzie - ADOPTED

Kenzie is a petite little princess who just loves people and all the attention they have to give. Her tail never stops wagging and she even smiles! Kenzie is 23 months old and is very curious about all the new things she's discovering in her foster home. Her favorite thing so far is FOOD! Kenzie gets along well with other dogs, loves children, rides well in the car, and walks well on a leash. She likes to play with stuffed animals and tennis balls and adores her foster greyhound buddy, Cappy. The two are quite a pair!
Cappy

Cappy - ADOPTED

Cappy is a beautiful 2 1/2 year old girl. She's black with white accents on her chest and toes and she has a little ridge of fur that runs right up the middle of her snout. Cappy's last race was on April 1st and she has the physique to prove it. See her pedigree and racing history here. Cappy is very playful and loves to romp and run with the other greyhounds in her foster home.
Here's an update from Cappy's foster family (5/23): Cappy has settled in her new role of house dog. She does not get on the furniture, but longingly puts her head on the bed and begs with her eyes. So far she has not figured out all she has to do is jump up. She has had no accidents in the house and loves going in and out the dog door. Cappy will play ball and could be taught how to play Frisbee. Cappy was bitten by a non venomous snake a few weeks, however, her face has healed nicely and you can hardly see her scars. Cappy is one of the best and sweetest greyhounds I have had the pleasure of fostering. She wants to please so badly. Cappy would probably do better with another greyhound or another large size dog. Look at that face...
Junior

Junior - ADOPTED

"Junior" is my name and nest building is my game. Sneaking up and giving you kisses on the back of your neck is also good too. I've even been known to play tug of war with a towel on occasion. I'm solid black and am 24mo. of age. Although not very big, I weigh 58lbs, and you know, very good things come in small packages. My Uncle was the fastest dog ever at Gulf Greyhound Park. I'd love to race in to my forever home with you.
Kinky

Kinky - ADOPTED

Named for a kink in her tail, Kinky is a 55 pound, 20 month old brindle girl. She has a white chest and belly, two white back feet and four white toes on the front feet. If she was in a gallon of Bluebell chocolate marble ice-cream, you'd never find her. Kinky is a barrel of energy and loves to run, run, run! She's only been in her foster home a few days and has already decided that her foster dad needs help on the computer - she lays right by his side patiently waiting for attention, while he is sure she will correct some spelling mistakes any time now. Kinky gets along fine with the other 3 greys, the bird, and the resident Borzoi. Won't you let Kinky race her way into your heart?
