Our Dogs
GPA/SCG transitions each greyhound from the track into a boarding kennel
and then into a permanent home. Tan-Zar Kennels and The Golden Bone Pet
Resort have donated a limited number of rooms for the greyhounds that
enter our program. No matter how your greyhound is transitioned, it will
make a "greyt" pet. Here are some of the things that we have discovered
through using these boarding kennels.
1. At the boarding kennel, there are trained personnel to watch the
greyhound recover after recent spay or neuter surgery or other medical
treatments. They also assist with helping the greyhound adjust to a new
diet.
2. Greyhounds move into a "forever" home when they are adopted, rather
than transitioning from a foster home. The greyhound's first bonding
experience will be in the home with the person(s) who adopted him/her.
3. Both of these boarding facilities are open, by appointment, Monday
through Saturday, for visitations and adoptions. This provides
prospective adopters with flexibility when choosing their greyhound.
The dogs below are available for
adoption. Please contact us at

"Kantan"
is a 2 year old black
male who was rescued from Wheeling in early October. He never had
an actual racing career as he was basically retired after some
schooling when he could not keep up with the faster dogs. He is a
quiet and affectionate boy who seems to be intimidated by other dogs
which means he will need to be the
only
dog in the home. He
has a keen interest in cats, so we cannot home him with kitties. He
will do well in a relaxed, environment with older children. Kantan
has been overlooked on numerous occasions for adoption and now all
of his siblings are enjoying forever homes. If you have room in
your home and heart for this sweet hound, please consider giving a
home where he has the affection he needs and deserves! He is
residing at the Tan-Zar Kennels. |

PLEASE NOTE: You must complete an adoption
application which has been screened and approved by SCG
before making arrangements to visit the greyhounds! |

Miles
(Fivemilecrik)
is a very happy and handsome, 2 year old male. He is a beautiful
blue fawn and is guaranteed to steal your heart with his enthusiasm
and outgoing personality. Miles will need a home without cats or
small dogs. He will be fine with other large dogs or as an only
dog, as long as he has humans to play with! Miles is currently
residing at Tan-Zar Kennels in Wexford.
PLEASE NOTE: You must complete an adoption application which has

Phantom
is a sweet, sweet brindle and white gal who was born in November
2005! She is petite and very regal looking. She could use some
gentle coaching when she walks on a lead until she gets the hang of
it. She seems fine with kitties and will be sure to turn heads when
you are walking her down the street. What a sweet girl she is! She
is one of the 300 plus dogs that were rescued from the Melbourne,
Florida track in April. She is residing at the Golden Bone Pet
Resort. |

Chantal is a happy girl who was born in March
2006. She is one of the 300 plus dogs that were rescued from the
Melbourne, Florida track in April. She is a sweet dog who seems
compatible with kitties. She rides fine in a car and would love to
learn about retired life in your home! Please consider giving
Chantal a forever home by adopting her. She is residing at the
Golden Bone Pet Resort. |

Marcel was born in April 2006. He is a handsome brindle male
who has a nice friendly personality. He walks good on lead, but
needs a home with no kitties. He loves hugs and is one of the 300
plus dogs that were rescued from the Melbourne, Florida track in
April. He is residing at the Golden Bone Pet Resort. |
"Dynotech"
is a large black male greyhound and is about 3 years old! He came
to us rather unsure of his new beginning, but recently, he has shown
that he is more comfortable in his surroundings. He enjoys treats
and has frolicked with "Bob" on occasion when being walked. He is
very interested in kitties so he cannot live with them. He has been
retired since 2007 and we were just able to move him into our
program in March. If you have a space in your heart for this gentle
giant, please let us know. "Dynotech" is residing at the Golden
Bone Pet Resort. |
Lexus
is a sweet, red and white senior greyhound who will be 7 years old
in September. As a retired mama, she can be assertive with
other females since she has been used to assuming the leadership
role. She has a mild interest in cats, which means she will need
supervision initially. She will do well in a home with older
children and male dogs only. She is incredibly affectionate and
will be most grateful for a forever home! The adoption fee for Lexus
is waived due to her senior status. She is residing at Tan-Zar
Kennels in Wexford. |
