Location: Foster
Comments: Taz and Genie were in a home together and returned through no fault of their own. Taz and Genie are VERY bonded and we would love to place them in a home together. Genie is submissive and calm. She needs another dog in her home. She is affectionate and sweet. Taz and Genie lived with two cats, although Genie may chase strange cats outside and has a strong prey drive for squirrels. She walks well on leash and is the perfect passenger in a car. She can be unhappy and nervous out in public when not with another dog, but she is quite content as long as she has her Taz along. Genie is a major couch potato, but she is entitled at her age. Genie was good with the 4 year old boy in their home, but she will verbally warn if harassed or stepped on (who wouldn't). She knows several commands. She does need daily eye drops for Pannus, but this is easy and inexpensive. Genie is an absolute doll. Won't you give Genie and Taz a home. (Picture was taken when Genie was about 5 years old.)
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO ADOPT A GREYHOUND? You should be looking for a house dog and a companion. Our dogs are adopted strictly for house pets and are the finest companions you could ask for. They do not do well outside,since they have little body fat nor a thick coat to keep them warm. And, as your best friend, they want to be with you. You need a fenced yard (minimum height 4ft; no electric fences, invisible fences or barbed wire) unless you're in an apartment, to protect your dog when it goes outside to relieve itself. A door to your house must open into the securely fenced area. All gates must be secure. The fence should be in good repair, with no missing parts or boards. Certain types of fencing are not acceptable because the greyhound can slip through them or are unsafe for greyhounds. Our home visit representative will work with you to determine if your fence is safe for a greyhound. There should be no obstacles near the fence that a greyhound could use as a jumping point to get over the fence. The greyhound is totally innocent and will likely be killed on the road if allowed to run loose. You must plan on your dog being confined in the house or a fenced yard. If you walk or jog with it, make certain it is leashed at all times. Retractable leashes (or similar devices) are not acceptable for use with greyhounds. Often people say that they live on five or more acres and they think this should be plenty of room for a dog to live without a fence. This simply doesn't work because of the dog's breeding and extensive training. You must agree to never stake, tie up, or chain your greyhound to anything. You must agree to never use your greyhound for breeding, research, experimentation, hunting, or professional racing. Plan to spend several days at the start with the dog in its new home. There will be a transition period for the greyhound as it adjusts from track and kennel life to home life. Greyhounds may suffer from separation anxiety when left alone. In many instances we will recommend you purchase or rent a crate for housing your greyhound while you're gone for short periods or several hours. Remember, crates are not cruel. They've been the dog's home while it resided at the track and kennel. However, be realistic in how long you leave the dog crated, since it will have to relieve itself within several hours. We do not recommend crating for more than 4 hours so plan on coming home at lunch or asking someone to come in and let the dog out. As a sighthound, a greyhound must never be confined to a room without a view such as a laundry room, garage, basement, etc. You understand that a minimum non-refundable donation of $250.00 (U.S. Funds) is required to adopt a greyhound from Greyhound Pets, Inc.
