Comments: Sasha was sadly returned to us due to her owner's illness. This little girl is absolutely darling. She is sweet and gentle and loves everyone. She even hugs! Sasha loves fuzzy toys and likes to play outside. This is one special girl. Sasha would do best in a quieter home (perhaps a retired couple) and since she has been in a home with a yard, it would be nice to see her go into another home with a yard. She knows several commands, walks nicely on leash, and travels well in a car. Sasha was an only dog in her home and we think she would prefer continuing to be an only dog although she does fine with the other dogs in her foster home. Sasha has not lived with children, but has done well with meeting children out in public. She does not like being approached when she is on her bed, so it may be best for her not to go into a home with young children. She has played and visited with small and other dogs and done well, but has not lived with other dogs. Sasha is one special girl. She needs a home without
cats. (Picture was taken 4 years ago.)
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.
