    That is so cool of you to rescue, I have heard that greyhounds are like potato chips "you cant have just one"!! Have you looked into lure coursing in your area? I bet she would kick butt at it!!! She is really beautiful and lucky to be off the track and in a home.

    She's gorgeous! I would definitely consider a retired racer the next time we're looking for a family dog!

    In our agility class, there's a really nice whippet. She slipped her leash one day (she's still pretty young and impulsive) and started tearing around the field at full speed....it was mighty impressive to see!

    I have found a local coursing club and I would love to go watch but im hesitant to course her. I think she is enjoying her retirement!

    Please do so many of these amazing dogs need homes. They make great pets we are really enjoying her she is so sweet. And very mellow indoors just a joy to be around.

    If you look closely at the last pic you can see she has a Martingale Collar on it tightens to prevent there heads from slipping out. If properly adjusted there is no chance of choking. I know with their thick necks and skinny heads slipping off a collar can be a problem but if she doesnt already use one im sure she would appreciate the advice.

    She is sooooo pretty! Greyhounds are one of my favs:D

    I love the 50 mph couch potatoes!!!!

    I work at an Exotic Vet Hosp and we have a greyhound that lives there permanently. He is awesome and one of the most spoiled dogs ever LOL. His favorite thing to do is to jump up next to you on the couch in the breakroom for a 'butt to butt' snuggle/nap LOL.

    Ha ha! I knew that was the one in wilmington. That's a really nice dog park. We took our pug max there for "pug day." It just sounded like a million helicopters goin off w/ all that panting and snorting. Cute greyhound.
