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.

This month’s featured greyhound are Bing and Puma

 

Hello to all of you let me introduce myself and my buddie.  I am Bing and my buddie is Puma.  We are both 9 years young and want to be adopted together.  We have been together since we were 2 and have found ourselves back with GRACE because our dad got some serious health issues and could no longer take care of us.  We are both cat, small dog and pretty much everything safe.  Do you have a place for Puma and me?  We are 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.

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.

Hello everyone, my name is Runinwitmydemons but you can call me Oats or Otis. I just made the trip from Kansas to Michigan. I tried to run like my dad but I'm just not that fast..oh well now it's time for me to find that couch to call my own. My littermates Oleena and Odell and my mom Pat C Forgone have all found their GRACE Families now it my turn.

Please stay tune for updates as my foster parents get to know me.

Updates:

Otis is a little bit shy, He is a good boy in the house and has not had but 1 accident...my fault for not hearing him whine to go out. He is starting to play with the toys in the doggie toy box. My living room floor looks like a toy mine field.

He was uncertain at first about going outside, but now goes in and out like a trooper. He has a healthy appetite and shows no food aggression.

He will do well in a home that will allow him to adjust on his terms. He favors women over men and not too sure about kids. I think the kids make a lot of noise and he is not used to that. He is learning and every day he does better.

It's two weeks since Captains eye surgery. Before he couldn't see well at all, but we have seen a marked improvement. If he was at 1 out of 10, he is now 4 out of 10. He sees most things before bumping into them, walks straight, and is curious about things he would just walk past before.
10/16/2024
I gave Captain a break from the cone and walked him out back, like we have done every day for weeks. Just two days after the eye surgery I think his sight is improving. Instead of wandering all over he was more on point with where we were going. He also pointed his ears straight up and held his head higher. Mostly he looked at things he never looked at before, with curiosity.

10/14/2024
Our foster Captain had his eye surgery today. Everything went well, but he's still very confused. Took the cone off so he couldn't eat and drink, but he doesn't want either yet.

I am doing great, I get along fine with all the other greys in my foster home. I am a bit of an attention hog. I love to be with my people. I like to help my foster mom as she is working on the computer...so that she gets all the details right. I am a little bit of a counter surfer and very attracted to food. I love to eat. My foster mom and dad are working on teaching me limits...but still giving me lots of pets, hugs and love.
