Greyhounds are taught to walk on a leash at an early age and enjoy the exercise as well as the attention they receive from people who pass by. We do not recommend invisible fencing for your greyhound. The only thing on the greyhound's mind at that point is the squirrel in the yard across the street. Once beyond the fence, the greyhound is gone. Greyhounds are not used to being tied up, and due to their quick acceleration, they can severely injure themselves when they come to the end of the tie-out.
Greyhounds are indoor dogs.
They cannot live in outdoor kennels. Because of their short thin hair and low percentage of body fat, they do not tolerate extended periods of exposure to extreme heat or cold. The greyhound gets through a cold winter the same way we do with the aid of a warm sweater or coat. This nominal fee covers neutering or spaying, nail trimming, all vaccinations, and a complete health exam. In addition, Northern Lights will provide you with your choice of collar and leash, support from your greyhound adoption coordinator, and a subscription to Northern Lights' newsletter Chasing Tales .
