Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers…it’s Max again!
Before we jump into the much anticipated introduction of the ‘Follow a Hound to Retirement’ greyhounds I would first like to mention the current NLGA available greyhounds and the ‘coming soon’ greyhounds.
In alphabetical order, the currently available NLGA greyhounds!
Megan: This week Megan was medically cleared (thanks for the greyt care NLGA/Foley Blvd.!) to go to her foster home (thanks Carole)! Megan’s foster Mom provided this update… “Megan is a pint-size sweetie who thinks stuffies are the best-thing-ever. She has easily joined in at her foster mom’s multi-dog household. Though she had a bad turn of events with her recent surrender it is obvious that someone loved her very much, as she has good house manners and slaps her butt down the minute she hears the sound of a treat bag opening. She smiles a lot, and loves looking out the window to see what she can see. We’ve only had her a short time so stay tuned for more news on this little brindle girl.” Let’s see what we can do to find this sweet little girl her forever home, shall we?!
Sadie: She is enjoying her time at her foster home (thanks Kim!) however she really would like a forever home of her own too! Sadie’s foster Mom provided this update… “ Sadie is coming out of her shell and becoming playful. She throws a kong around and bows to get someone to play with her. She is such a quiet girl. I have only heard her growl a little when warning the other hounds that they are getting too close to her resting place. Sadie gives a little whine to let you know it is time to go outside.“ Are you interested in providing Sadie with the forever home she is looking for? Let us know!
Steel: This crazy guy may have found his forever home recently…stay posted for an update from him!
And, now to the ‘coming soon’ NLGA greyhounds!
Ann: As I mentioned in my last post, Ann decided she did not want to partake in schooling races. You see, to participate in schooling races the first thing you have to do is get into the box. Then the race starts and everyone sprints out of the box as fast as they can to chase lucky (a white bone shaped stuffie). Well, Ann decided she did not want to get into the box and thus schooling was just not for her. Instead, this little (59 lb) black greyhound will be looking for her forever home soon! Since she has decided to retire before actually racing…is that even still considered retiring?...she is just a young pup. Her birthday is in March and she will be turning 2! Her trainer says she is “as cute as a button” but I’ll leave that up to you to decide. Ann will be looking for a foster home and a forever home shortly…consider it please!
Cole: Cole made it a little further than Ann into schooling before he decided it was not for him…he actually would go into the box for his schooling races. He even ran a couple of schooling races. Then he decided schooling was not for him…and to prove his point he simply did not come out of the box. The box would open and all the greyhounds in the race would sprint after lucky…except Cole. He just patiently stayed in the box. His point was proven as this 77 lb fawn boy will be making his way to NLGA shortly. Cole is actually a little younger than Ann as he will be turning 2 in June. Cole is ready to learn about being a pet...he will need a foster home and a forever home…interested?!
Reese: And finally, my pal Reese! I’ve mentioned him twice now; he was the only greyhound in my racing kennel that was older than me. And do you know what else? We were what you could call crate-bunk mates. The racing kennel crates are stacked two high. Typically the girls are in the top crate for various reasons but when I was in the racing kennel I actually got to jump into and out of the top crate! And guess who was in the crate right below me…yup, Reese! Unlike Ann and Cole, Reese had a long racing career. He is well liked by everyone in the racing kennel…greyhounds and people alike! Reese has learned a lot over his racing days and is getting ready to make his career transition into retirement! He will make his forever home a greyt pet! Reese is white with cream spots. He is about 80 lbs and will turn 5 in May. After his long career, Reese deserves a greyt forever home. He will be ready to learn about retirement shortly…please inquire about fostering or adopting!
Since I have mentioned this more than a few times, if there is any interested in fostering or adopting any of the wonderful greyhounds mentioned above, as always, please contact NLGA!
And finally, ‘follow a hound to retirement’…! My post has gotten a little longer than I anticipated so I’m just going to give you a quick teaser for today…pictures! These are four of the six greyhounds that we will be following to retirement! Keep watching the blog…introductions will be coming in the next few days!
Until next time,
~Max
