Our mission is to find homes for these beautiful animals. Greyhounds are the fastest breed of dog, reaching speeds of 45mph. Off the racetrack, however, they are couch potatoes who rarely bark. They spend most of the day sleeping and actually require less exercise than most dogs. They are very affectionate toward those they know and trust, and are often used as therapy dogs.
Greyhounds have virtually no body fat, are very clean, and require very little grooming.
They are usually between 25 and 29 inches tall, weigh 60 to 80 pounds and have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years. It will take approximately 2 weeks to acclimate your dog to your house. The greyhound is a house-dog since they can not tolerate temperature extremes. This can mean an ugly and untimely death for the animal whose life you just recently saved. For this reason, and all the situations mentioned above, it is imperative that you keep your greyhound on leash at all times when outdoors unless in an enclosed area.
