The Hounds
Here’s your one stop shop for learning the basics about all of our dogs. Their bio info, adoption info, some personality info and whatever else we think is pertinent. We’ll be adding more info to this page, so check back!
Bucky
Buckshot Jones
May 31, 1997
Male, Brindle
Private Adoption
|
Bucky’s bite history meant that when his owner needed to re-home him, the adoption group that placed him would not take him back except to euthanize him. However, we know there are no bad dogs and Bucky has proved to be a delightful old guy!! He’s worked through his space and men issues and is a goofy, spunky, loving pet. |
Haley
Pin Oak Halley
June 27, 1997
Female, White & Black
Greyhound Friends of NC
|
Haley is my first greyhound. She can be quite reserved…Not shy, just…um…disinterested in most things. She takes her retirement *very* seriously. |
Prajna
Crunchtime Casey
Sept 14, 1998
Male, Dun Brindle
|
Prajna was in Ken’s original pack before we were married. In those early days, he was a challenging dog, to be sure. Difficult to house break, couldn’t be crated. But we all worked through it and Prajna is a tremendous and faithful companion. (his name is pronoucned “prah-nuh” and is a sanskrit word meaning ‘transcendental wisdom’ |
Matt
Fliowa Matt
March 5, 2000
Male, White & Fawn
Private Adoption
|
Matt is a pretty laid back fellow. He’s kinda the male version of Haley – not pushy, but welcomes loves and cuddles you offer him. He’s an old soul and I have to remind myself he’s only 9! Matt is a great ambassadog to show why every greyhound family needs a big, sweet boy in their pack. |
Lucky Louis
Lucas
March 11, 2001
Male, White & Brindle
Private Adoption
|
Louis was supposed to be a ‘hard to place hound’ with house training issues and separation anxiety. We were also advised that he wasn’t very smart. Of course, nothing could be further than the truth! At some point he learned that people can be “bugged” into caving if he’s persistant. Well until he met us! He’s really just a big ol’ love bug of a dog. Confident in himself and willing to trust his humans at the same time. |
Stella
U Too Navy Blue
July 20, 2001
Female, Blue
|
Stella Blue is our spooky girl, though she has made tremendous strides since we adopted her several years ago. She’s still a pretty spooky with strangers but is quite velcro-ey with ‘her” humans. |
Hanna
Fast Movin’ Mary
Sept 1, 2001
Female, Brindle
Project Racing Home
|
Hanna, aka The Banana, is my second greyhound. She’s always been a quirkly little dog, though some of that is now explained by the fact that she’s been losing her sight due to PRA slowly over the years. She’s now completely blind, but you would really never know it. She doesn’t let it slow her down! |
Melody
Jetabb Catfish
Feb 17, 2002
Female, Red
Greyt Expectations
|
Melody is a typical female greyhound. Fairly independent, but knows how to milk the humans for attention when she wants it. She’s pretty submissive with people but can be quite, well, bossy with dogs if we’d let her. She the reigning “fun police” with the pack. In the house, she loves to carry her “baby” around (a huge white and black stuffed animal dog). |
Scout
KGB Bonnie Girl
March 20, 2002
Female, White & Red
Private Adoption
|
I met Scout several times in the racing kennel while she was at the track. When I heard an adoption group had passed her over, I knew I wanted to bring this spunky girl home! She is blind in one eye, due to an injury at some point before retiring, but she never lets that stop her. |
Echo
Danas Black Ink, FCh
April 29, 2003
Female, Black
Greyhound Crossroads
|
Echo was a failed attempt at fostering one of our Bridge boy Champ’s kids. She’s going 100 mph or laying down, she’s in your face or couldn’t care less about you…not much in between with this little one. Echo is also the first dog in our pack to earn a lure coursing title (Field Champion). |
 Peanut
Lightning Lee
April 8, 2005
Female, Black
Private Adoption
|
Peanut had everyone fooled while she was racing. We all thought she was a shy, timid girl. When you opened her crate she’d tuck her tail and sometimes even pee submissively. But, when we brought this little roman-nosed girl home we discovered it was just a ploy! She’s really quite a handful…tenacious, loving, stubborn, velcro-ey. Always looking for something to get into. Just goes to show you that when you think you can profile a dog pretty well, there will always be some that will fool you. |
 Bindi
Denim Days
May 5, 2005
Female, Red Fawn
Private Adoption
|
Bindi is a sweet little girl that Ken fell head over heels for a few months before she retired. I never thought we’d have a hound smaller than Echo…and then Bindi came home! She’s pretty quiet around the house, but loves to be a part of a large pack. |
Tater
Rights to Riches
May 12, 2005
Female, Black
Private Adoption
|
Tater is what you would call a….well, let’s just say she’s a handful. She LOVES her people, but can be persnickety with the other dogs, is always in ‘hunt mode’ and if trouble is lurking about, rest assured Tater will find it. And revel in it! But we love the challenge she brings to managing the pack. |
Diva
My Queen Theresa
July 1, 2005
Female, Red Fawn
Project Racing Home
|
It’s hard to believe the Diva we know today is the same super shy, undersocialized hound I had to *carry* out of the adoption facility. With a lot of patience and the power of the pack, Diva has matured into a spunky, energetic little girl. Too bad she never race because she’s one of the fastest dogs in the pack! |
Primo
Da Big Guy
April 3, 2006
Male, Black
Private Adoption
|
Our big, laid back Primo. Almost the perfect greyhound…He’s one of the youngest hounds in the pack, and still has some maturing to do but is a typical loving, silly, big boy. His super shiny black coat and stunning build remind me why everyone should adopt a black greyhound 
|
Sarah JaneSooner Sarah April 12, 2006 Female, Dark Brindle MacGregor Greyhound Welfare Center |
Sarah had a reputation for human and dog aggression at the adoption kennel. We brought her here to rehabilitate her and ended up deciding she should stay. She’s now a wonderful, balanced dog! |
Dash
No Racing Name
July 9, 2009
Female, Black
No Adoption Group
|
Dash was part of an oops litter from Southland that Ken and I whelped and raised. 7 pups born, 5 survived and when it came time to send them to adoption groups, we simply could not let little Dash go. Dash is proving that you can raise a greyhound pup in a pack of hounds and, in fact, the Power of the Pack can help raise a happy, balanced pup. |
 Wuzho
The Staghound
|
Oh, Wooter….our lone non-greyhound. He’s so goofy and silly. The greyhounds will take your breath away when they run. Wuzho will make you giggle! He wants nothing more than to lay at our feet or have his belly rubbed. Though is is technically a staghound, he may as well be a greyhound with his lazy relaxed attitude about life. |
In addition to our pets, we have also owned two racing greyhounds….
Bunny
Fast Fluffy
August 1, 2007
Female, Red Fawn
|
Retired! Unfortunately, Bunny just didn’t want to be a racer. She found her forever home through Shamrock Greyhounds in Louisville, KY. |
 Annie
Sin Bin Annie
July, 28 2008
Female, Red
|
Retired! After three schooling races, we tried to move Annie to another track where she might have a chance to mature with a lower level of competition. Alas, we were unable to move her to a kennel and track we felt comfortable with, so we decided to retire her. She’s found her forever home through GPA-Nashville. |
