 Greyhounds have a reputation among owners for having a laid-back, “chill” personality.In general, they need minimal exercise and are reasonably low-maintenance dogs

SURPRISED?

Don’t feel bad, many who are new to this breed are mistaken. Many think that a dog built for speed must be high-energy and high-strung, right?

WRONG.

Most of these retired racers are anxious to curl up on your couch (or a comfy dog bed) and love a nice daily walk and the occasional sprint around in a fenced area. And look at that smooth coat?! Why it’s practically “wash & wear”!

If you think this breed might be right for you, please come down and meet Norm. Thanks to a generous donation half of his adoption fee has been pre-paid.

"Sophie"

We adopted a female kitten named Greer last July and wanted to share with you her photos and the absolute happiness she has brought into our lives. My youngest son renamed her Sophie and she is one of a kind. Sophie enjoys the water and on two occasions she has gone into the bathtub with my son. She loves anything cool, we find her lying on the window next to the air conditioner vent. Anyhow, we have sent some photos and hope you can share these with all. She loves to sit in a large bowl and our chinese vase, and on occasion has even gone into my son's backpack. She is a wonderful addition to our family.

Best,

Nina
