Available Retirees


 

G.R.A.C.E. believes that prospective adopters should have a chance to learn about the greyhounds available. See what they look like, ask questions about particular dogs, and ultimately choose a greyhound who will best suit their circumstances and enrich their lives.

  • We help adopters choose dogs by providing detailed information about each dog and offering suggestions about which dogs would work best in the adopter’s environment.

  • We do not place a dog in a home without the adopters full involvement in the decision-making process.

  • All families with children ages 3 through 5 years must have a fenced in yard to adopt.  Due to the fact that we cannot conduct in home visits with young children to see the true interaction between the grey and the children we are updating our requirements raising the minimum age to 3.  

  • Please click on the application tab to complete the application.

  •   Please feel free to follow up with us regarding your application at 734-558-4218 if you have not heard from us within 7 days of submitting your application. Thank you so much for your interest in adopting or fostering a greyhound, and we look forward to hearing from you!

UPDATE:  To help us place the right grey in the perfect home we will contact you about creating a video and where to send for us to review.  Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you

Below are our current Available Retirees. Feel free to pick one, or several, to become your new family pet! Remember, greyhounds are like potato chips…you can’t have just one.

Hi my name is Aston Dawson but you can call me Dawson. I just made the trip from Australia to the USA. I raced in 6 races in Australia before I made my way to the states.

Here is my assessment so far:

Dawson is playful and confident dog who interact beautifully with both people and other dogs. He's receptive to other dogs body language and responds appropriately, making hi a great companion in social settings.

He handled the gate calmly and didn't present as pushy or overbearing. Overall, Dawson is a lovely, sweet natured boy with a balanced and gentle energy that makes him a pleasure to be around.

Dawson showed a healthy level of curiosity and confidence when introduced to novel items. While he had a light startle response, he quickly approached with interest and investigated without hesitation.

He was also comfortable being left on his own, settling without distress. Overall, there's not much to note simply because Dawson handled everything wo well - he's a great, well rounded boy.

Hi my name is Aston Port but you can call me Marty. I just made the trip from Australia to the USA.

Here is my assessment so far:

Marty is an energetic firecracker. Full of life and enthusiasm, he's a little enegiser bunny - bouncing up and down, doing zoomies and always ready to chase. He brings big energy wherever he goes.

Each time that he approached the pen, he greeted with eager excitement. While he was receptive to praise and affection, he didn't often seek it out on his own - he was too busy having fun! He responded particularly well to a short whistle rather than his name, which is handy cue for gaining his attention.

Marty is a lively, playful boy who thrives on activity and fun.

Hi my name is Brenton Barnacle but you can call me Brenton. I am a super handsome, sweet boy who just made the trip from Australia to the USA.

Here is my assessment:

Brenton is a confident boy who can sometimes show a bit of dominant behavior, but he absolutely adores his toys. Even while muzzled he showed great determination - digging, pawing and trying to interact with the toys through his muzzle.

He has striking color and markings that make him look like he could glow in the dark - truly a stunning dog. Brenton clearly enjoys human interaction and while enthusiastic about toys, he was respectful. He didn't jump on me or pester excessively, though he would excitedly bounce in front of me in anticipation.

Brenton remained completely unfazed during all the resilience tests - he didn't move, flinch or even blink. He showed excellent tolerance and composure.

Brenton is a striking beautiful boy with a strong prey drive that will require ongoing monitoring and management.

Hi my name is Elsa Eel but you can call me Elsa I am a super cute little girl who just made the trip from Australia to the USA.

Here is my assessment:

Elsa is a happy bouncy girl who clearly enjoys both human and canine company. She loved being involved in whatever I was doing and stayed close to me for most of the assessment, except when she was happily following the other dogs around.

Squeaky toys sparked some zoomies when we were alone in the pen, though she was a bit hesitant to pick them up and play with them directly'.

Overall, Elsa was affectionate, curious and eager to be part of the action.

Elsa handled all the resilience tests with confidence and wasn't fazed at all - she stood her ground calmly throughout. While waiting in the van for her turn, she did cray and bark occasionally, likely due to anticipation or wanting to be part of the action.

Hello everyone my name is Marble but some people like to call me Mable. I did race but now I need to find a couch to call my own...could that be with you?


I am a little shy so I need a 4 legged friend to help me build my confidence.
I need to depend on my people so no doggie door for me. I do like my safe space so I will crate up with no problem. I like quiet too. I do love to go for car rides.

7/31/2024
Foster Marble, MPJ Freeze Up, has made great progress here! The crate is still her comfort zone but she is spending more time out of the crate. She really likes laying on toys, especially the giant ducky! Marble can go up and down stairs but will only do it if I take her upstairs. She doesn’t go upstairs on her own. Marble is the sweetest little honey and she is enjoying the company of Gypsy and Jade.

I get along with the other greys in my foster home. I am a picky eater, but my foster home is working on getting the right combination of food for me. I do love people and get excited to meet everyone.

If you have room in your home and heart for me... I am waiting.

Hi everyone, my name is JK Time Bomb but you can call me Trippy. I had a pretty good racing career (111 Races) at Southland and Wheeling. Now I am getting ready for that next chapter in my life. I’m learning all kinds of retirement things like how not to counter surf, this big house is my home so I don’t soil it, any food I see may not be my food, and best of all, if I ask, I can be petted for as long as I want.

A little about me; I am a people lover! Can’t get enough of them. I must be within sight of them at all times. Being petted it the absolute best thing in the world! And you will want to pet me because I am sooooo silky soft.

Second comes eating. I haven’t met a food I don’t like. I’ve watched my hound mates and discovered at night I can jump on the people bed and snuggle aaallllll night long. A dream come true.

I’ve had to go to the vet several times since I arrived in Michigan, had some intestinal issues that are now cleared up. I didn’t like getting in the car, had to be helped in. And being alone in the car was no fun. There should ALWAYS be a friend with me. Did I tell you I don’t like to be alone? Well, I don’t. When I’m awake I play nice with my hound friends. But when I’m asleep, I startle and grump at whoever has startled me. Sorry!

I enjoy playing with toys but am kind of hard on them. I did eat a smaller one once. It made my belly upset and up it came after about a day. So, I guess smaller toys/pieces of toys are not for me. Something I’m embarrassed about is I can be stubborn at times. If I don’t feel like coming when called or get up when asked, I just lay there. If you want me up, pick me up. After all, I am a princess. Will your house be the one I grace?

Please stay tuned as my foster family learns more about me.
