O YA JOHN BECK
He is a sweet boy who gives little kisses and enjoys walks. Probably not cat/small dog safe according to the vet although he could be potentially workable over time. He doesn’t like other dogs around his bed but people are just fine. He does growl at the other greys but they don’t take him very serious and he doesn’t do more than growl. He loves to be around you but doesn’t feel comfortable on the couch. Really loves his treats , he has been on several car trips and getting better each time.

Baby, as she has been called is a beautiful dark brindle girl. She was born March, 2023.
The foster parents are very excited to announce that for the first time in almost 5 years we have another foster from West Virginia. Let me tell you about this doll. Her handlers called her Baby and it couldn’t be more fitting. She is just a little over 2 years old. A beautiful dark brindle, photos don’t do her justice. She rides in the car like a passenger princess.
If you are interested she will be at Beef 'O' Brady's Kingsport this Saturday at noon for a meet and greet. You can also reach out for more information and I will keep updating as time goes on.

GLS REGGIE
Reggie is a handsome brindle 6 year old boy,
he was born January 1, 2019 and weighs approximately 75 pounds.
Reggie raced in West Virginia and is a very
old soul with a little gray. Reggie has had
some changes in his life since he returned
back to foster care. He is being fostered in
the Tri Cities with 4 other Greyhounds. He
has also been fostered with a kitty and
small dog.
Reggie would do well in a small fence yard or
leash walking although he does love to run and
play with a lot of speed. Reggie can get over stimulated when in a large space. We feel
Reggie would do well with a large male or a
large dominant female or as a only dog.
Reggie sleeps well on a dog bed but he also
doesn't mind his crate time and goes in and out freely. Reggie will get on a couch and loves to cuddle. We are relearning his likes and dislikes
to determine the best suited forever home.
Reggie's house manners are excellent and is adjusting to a new routine.
If you are interested in meeting Reggie please
let us know.
