Comments: Nemo and Eva were returned to us through no fault of theirs. Nemo is calm and mild mannered. He loves naps on the couch. Nemo would prefer a home without a lot of other dogs, but likes the company of another dog. Nemo is a people dog and loves to be around people. He is gentle and lower energy. He is on thyroid meds, but they are inexpensive. He walks well on leash and loves his walks. He is used to a home with a yard with daily walks. He lived with a young baby and was fine with her, but he may snap if he feels cornered. Foster home update: Nemo is doing just great. Â He gets along well with our other two greyhounds. Â He is affectionate and very laid back. Â He's getting to know our routine quite well and knows which bed is his when it's time to go to bed at night (all three in our bedroom with beds at different corners of the room. Â He loves pets and ear rubs. Â He appears good with small children as my grandkids play around him while he's laying on the floor. Â He even seems non-plused when my
16 month old grandson tripped and fell on him while playing with some toys. Â He loves going for walks and running around in the yard with the other two greys. All-in-all a very well behaved and mannered senior... and he has a great set of ears too!
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 h
