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:  Because of the current conditions in our state and across the country we are not doing on site home visits. 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 retire is…Henry

 

I am an  active and very sweet boy just looking for that couch to call my own.

Hello everyone, my name is Henry Danger, and I just made the trip from Kansas to Michigan. I just flunked out of training....I didn't want to chase anything, I just wanted to play...so it's time for me to find my forever home. A forever home that will let me play, play, sleep a little, play some more, add a little food and then play again. Of course, to do all of this playing, I need a friend. I can’t be an only. I will give you lots of kisses and head rubs for letting me play. And when I’m excited, like on the way to breakfast, I’ll talk to you to tell you how much I appreciate your loving care of me.

Let’s see, house manners, I am very clean in the house, making sure to go outside when needed. I am learning counter surfing is not acceptable, darn. There are so many good smelling things on the counter. I am also told I can’t get on the furniture and am not supposed to sleep with my foster parents. But I sneak onto the bed after they’ve gone to sleep. I love to snuggle!

Then there are all the things I’m not supposed to chew on. Man, what a list! I have been wearing my muzzle while my foster parents can’t closely watch me. But when it’s off, watch out all you toys and other hounds; it’s playtime!!!

I have no problem doing stairs. I like to ride in the care as long as I have a friend to keep me company. I don’t jump up into the car yet; need more practice. Leash walking needs practice too. But I get lots of practice digging in the yard. I have to be on the lookout for my foster mom, she makes me stop digging. But she lets me roll in the grass, especially when I am playing with the other hounds.

Let’s see, what else? Oh yeah, I take treats very politely. I always eat all my food. I am kind of a stick-tight and follow my humans where ever they go. Do you see the picture of me on the kitchen floor? My skin is a little tender so constant brushing is not my favorite thing, it kind of hurts. I am still losing my puppy fuzz, so I guess that’s one reason for all the brushing. I am a pretty good boy in the bathtub but a little fussy with nail trims. I am an unashamed butt sniffer, any butt. My foster parents say I need to correct that bad habit. I am a male after all, don’t they understand? I also have a small issue of sleep startle aggression. If anyone touches me while I’m sleeping, I react with bared teeth. My foster parents are helping me work thru this issue. So, if you have a current canine and lots of toys and time to be adored, I’d sure like to give you a try.

Hi everyone and Happy Fourth of July!!
My name is Henry (aka Henry Danger)! I’m a young guy (2/14/2022) that has been hanging out at the Macomber house for the past few weeks. I’m learning a lot about being a good pup in the house (of course, Trooper and Karma are helping me out).
I’m doing very well with stairs and those slippery laminate floors. I try to get in a few zoomies everyday and those floors don’t scare me! Foster mom has bells hanging from the door, I hit them with my nose every time I need to go potty! No accidents in the house, like a good boy! Becky tells me that I’m doing great with the bells.
I also walk well on a leash and not afraid to go potty on our walks.
I’m still shredding some of that extra fur (as you can see in the first picture) and that wonderful brush Becky uses feels so great. I stand pretty good for her until something catches my attention, I’m young and need to investigate everything!
Can’t forget, I give nice gentle kisses to foster mom (I love how it makes her smile).
As I learn more things, we will give updates!!

My foster Casper loves the 3 year old. He gets lots of hugs and kisses. The reason he has the muzzle is because he chewed on the legs on my dining room set. He likes to be in my office with me while I work. He loves to snuggle and cuddle.

Meet my new foster Casper. He is 14 months old and a sweetheart. He loves attention and snuggling. He can do stairs, wooden floors, is good with kids and cats. He is still learning about walking on a leash. He will tug, but you can correct him, he is discovering toys and absolutely loves food!!! We are working on not going to the door or jumping on people.

Lectro is doing great in his foster home. He gets along great with the other greys in the house and has had no issues. He walks great on a leash , and will use all 4 feet but when he tries to move a little faster he will pick up his hind leg. As many know greys can move as fast on 3 legs as they can on 4.

He has a great appetite but does not scarf down his food. He has had no accidents in the house or even tried to mark. He loves attention and will make a great addition to any home.

Foster Roscoe update. He's a good boy that has decided he likes to play keep away/ tug of war with Honey and shake stuffy toys. He doesn't seem to care if they squeak or not. He has had no accidents in the house and our floors don't bother him at all. He LOVES food and treats and attention. He hasn't found a food he doesn't like! He could use a slow down bowl but we just add hot water and some frozen peas and beans to his food.

There has been no aggression of any kind from him. He's more of a follower than a leader with my girls. He let me hold his collar and walked around the yard when I had a bad bruise on my leg so he may even be a good service grey once he gets out of his dorky stage.

He is learning not to counter surf and to take treats gently. Noises don't bother him at all and he hasn't done anything but sniff the cats butts and watch the neighbors small dogs. He won't bark unless the girls do.

Hello everyone, my name is Flounder and I just made the trip from Kansas to Michigan. I just flunked out of training....I didn't want to chase anything, I just wanted to play...so it's time for me to find my forever home.

Flounder: This big 15 month old boy is doing pretty good. He still has a little difficulty on the hard floors but is getting better. He really does NOT like to be alone. He will cry and bark. With the other dogs and us around he is good, but very much a velcro boy. If you move he goes with you regardless. He likes to be around the other dogs and follows Bekrija constantly too. He is very loving and cuddly and gentle. He sleeps on a quilt in my room or out in the living room.

Housebreaking is finally going well. He was a slow learner. He is going through his puppy shed now... Tons of hair everywhere.

He is truly still a puppy. Likes to hoard all the toys on his bed. Loves to chew and throw the toys and catch them or pounce on them. However, he will still chew things he should not when given the chance. Shoes, socks, ottoman, remotes... You name it, he'll try it.

He LOVES zoomies. He and Bekrija run together until Beki is tired, then Flounder continues to run around the yard doing zoomies like a crazy boy. During the night, he will sometimes get a playful streak going and will bark at Beki trying to get him up to play. Working on this currently.

He is ok on leash, and we are going to work more on it. He is leary at first of men, but warms up fairly quickly.
