Inside the house they enjoy curling up in a corner on a soft blanket. Since greyhound racing is illegal in California, most of our dogs come from out of state. The majority come from the Caliente racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico, but we have taken dogs from Arizona, Colorado, and Idaho as well. We also from time to time rescue greyhounds left at local animal shelters. Our first commitment is to former racers, but we will try to help any greyhound in need.
Greyhounds spend most of their lives in the company of other dogs, their trainers, and handlers.
Greyhounds have all the advantages of breeding and training when it comes to being a good pet. Their temperament makes them wonderful around children and friends. Their intelligence and breed make them perfect house pets, clean, quiet, and a loving companion. Whether you are a family looking for a playful friend, or an individual looking for a devoted companion, a well-mannered greyhound could be just the pet for you. Because greyhounds have been raised in kennels, a careful introduction into a suitable home environment is a must for successful placements.
