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.

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.

Hi Everyone I have just come back to GRACE to find that perfect home. I got a little to eager with the cat..the other dog in the house loves to chase it to play...but I'm a little more athletic and the cat doesn't care for my kind of rough play. I do well with other dogs and love to play. I am a happy boy but would do great with someone who is home more.

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.

Introducing Foster Phatty 🥰
He just turned 2 on April 11th and weighs around 73lbs.
He did race alittle bit and is now ready for his forever home. He is a lover and even more of a goofball once he warms up to you. He does fine on all floors and goes up my 4 cement steps to get in the house. He loads in vehicles good. No issues being around the cat in the house or even tiny Daisy Mae (Min Pin).
Just look at that face 🥰❤️

Hello everyone, my name is Rg Rood Dog, but you can call me Groot. I just made the trip from Kansas to Michigan. I went to schooling but flunked out...but I know there is a couch in my future!!! I made the trip with my littermate Relax aka Rg Girls Gone and we are both looking for our forever homes.

So let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am super sweet. Don’t bite into me cause I’d give you cavities. Don’t expect to have any privacy because you MUST be within sight at all times. And the smaller you are, the better I like you. Little humans are the absolute best! And I’m sorry if I trip you. I need to go ahead of you to ward off any impending dangers. After all, your protection is my solemn responsibility.

Other than that, I have very good house manners; I don’t dirty the house except for a few dropped hairs here and there and maybe a footprint when I come in from outdoors after a rain. I do have access to a dog door 24/7 so it’s easy to not have accidents in the house. I keep my nose a respectful distance from the kitchen counters even though I’d love to smell and dream about tasting whatever is up there. I do enjoy eating very much and have discovered treats are the absolute best!

I enjoy my daytime naps and sleep the night thru. My foster parents were really happy it only took me a couple nights to not wake them at 2am to go outside. Love the dog door! Toys are a lot of fun to play with. I like to carry them from room to room. I’ve been pretty good at only playing with proper toys. My foster parents do let me know if I choose a toy that isn’t really a toy. I’m pretty good at leaving it alone once told.

I haven’t gotten on the couch yet because no one else does. But I have jumped on my foster parent’s bed a couple times because the other hounds do. I’m quick at learning and following the house routines. I do my best to correct any inappropriate actions quickly. I want to please very much. I’ve heard my foster mom tell other humans I am a really good boy and so easy to have because I pay attention and correct so easily. She thinks I would be good for a first time Greyhound owner. Not sure how I’d do alone but would get along fine with another dog breed. Let’s see, what else? Oh yes, my favorite thing to do outdoors is lay in the grass after I’ve relieved myself. This running around after each other is so exhausting. I don’t care for it much. I will run if there is something really interesting that needs investigation. But run just to run, not so much.

And I really do prefer being indoors. Another thing about outdoors is that darn muzzle. I HATE THAT THING!!! My foster mom put an extra strap on it so I can’t get if off. Not fair! Another hated muzzle time is any time we leave the house. That also requires a leash which is ok, but I don’t have the best leash manners yet. I forget I’m not on my own to go exploring. And jumping into a vehicle is still scary. I’m fine once you lift me up into it. I settle quickly and ride quietly. I’m getting better at jumping out. Practice makes perfect I’ve heard. One of our trips was to the groomer. The groomer herself was nice until she put me in the tube
and got me all wet. The scrubbing felt good, and I was more than happy to get out when she asked me to. THEN she trimmed my nails! Now that was uncomfortable. I couldn’t wait to get out of there.

Another fun thing about me is I love to roo. Sing along with all the emergency sirens I hear, the house phone when it rings, my foster mom when she tries to roo. I even do it just because I’m happy. I know I could be happy with you if you’re looking for a stick-tight friend.

Foster Sweets Teefs 😁
This silly puppy is still a foster. She has an adorable overbite, loves children, loves to play and loves to run. She is cat correctable and would love to be someones velcro puppy. (After she gets comfortable of course. She is a "slow to warm up type")

Say hi to Foster Sweets. She is almost 2 (5/7/22) she has no problem walking on laminate floors, is clean in the house, loads and rides well in the car, and is as Sweets as can be. She is considered not small animal safe but she is not fixated on my chickens so maybe she could learn to get along 🤷‍♀️. She appreciates hanging out with other greyhounds but also has no problem entertaining herself by taking all the toys outside, running around and dropping them all over the yard. Also shes not very good at picking up those toys 🙄 😂🤣😂

I think Foster Sargent knows how to get comfortable! Even when using Honey's paw for a pillow. He is a very sweet and lovable guy that loves to be with his people.

6/6/2024
Foster Sargent is making himself at home in only four days time. So far he has tried playing with a couple squeaky toys, started sleeping on a doggy bed as well as in the kennel, and has been running around the yard with Honey. The hardwood floors aren't a problem and so far he hasn't paid any attention to the cats. Food and treats are YUMMY!

6/4/2024
Foster Sargent is already a champion roacher! He's only been here one day and is starting to fit in. No accidents in the house and no problem with our hardwood floors. He hasn't seen much of the cats yet since they stay hidden until they get used to a new grey. He is very lovable and sweet!
