A quick note about cat-safeness: Those dogs marked 'cat-compatible' are good with cats that they've been properly introduced to (aka "My kitty"). Strangers such as neighborhood kitties coming into the yard or those encountered while out walking may still be fair game! Always exercise caution outdoors.

Weights are given to provide you an idea of the dog's overall size in comparison to most Greyhounds. Average females are about 60-65 lbs, average males are about 70-75 lbs. Heights vary.
 

What does "Cat-testing" mean, exactly? Please read this article regarding prey drive and cat-safeness.

Okay, but can Greyhounds and cats really get along? Click here for amazing photographic evidence!
 

We encourage you to take a look at the web site of Northwest Canadian Greyhound League. They have beautiful Greyhounds from Canada's only race track as well as American racers and sometimes other sight hounds. Transportation to Western Washington can be arranged - where there's a will, there's a way!

We are ALWAYS looking for foster homes!  PLEASE contact us if you'd be willing to temporarily care for a Greyhound while an adoptive home is sought. Many fosters are short term, no more than a week or two. We ask that you be willing to foster for up to 2 months "just in case", though. A basic rule of thumb is that certain dogs will be adopted quickly, and others will take a bit longer depending on age, gender, color and cat-safeness.
