My name is Bella, I scratch all day and night and run on the hardwood floors so my toenails go click, click, click to make sure my owners get no sleep. I also bark at night for no apparent reason except the voices in my head. I bite my brother’s face…the most docile greyhound on the planet. And occasionally, just for fun…I poop on the bathroom floor.

‘Harvey’ Wallbanger
Django the retired racing greyhound chased his sister across the house and failed to put on the brakes in time.
Easy Ryder
This is Flyer is a 6 year old retired greyhound. Seems he happily left his racing days in favor of a king size TempurPedic bed with plenty of pillows.
Frida’s not sorry, and Pooka’s not budging
Frida the Borzoi-Saluki mix has far more energy than Pooka the greyhound. So Frida turned the armchair into her playing companion, and Pooka slept through the whole thing.
Anti-Tech Hound
My friend’s adorable Greyhound mix got tangled up in the computer cord, panicked, and took off running, pulling the computer off the table after her and busting the screen. The innocent bystander had nothing to do with it, but looks almost more ashamed than the culprit!
(Thus the reason I’m posting instead of her – her computer is not quite so functional now.)
Bad Claude!
“Today at the park, I peed on a man sitting on the grass. I lifted my leg so quickly my mom couldn’t stop me in time. I’m really not that embarrassed … but she was!” -Claude
Claude is a greyhound, an ex-racer who has been off the track less than a year. He is wonderful and perfect in almost every way. He is not 100% clear on when and where it is appropriate to mark things (or people, apparently) — today was the first time he peed on a person! He must have mistaken the gentleman for a tree or a shrub. Awkward.
Editor’s Note: My papa’s name is Claude, so this makes it just that much better!
Adoptable Fridays – Party Girl
I stole the dustpan. I only LOOK guilty.”
This is Party Girl. She is smart and extremely fast! The minute you turn your head she grabs something and runs away with it. In addition to the dustpan, she has stolen a loaf of bread, a box of leftovers, socks, tupperware, fish food, stuffed animals, pants, recycling, balls of yarn, fortune cookies, a bird feeder, a pizza box, and countless pillows. Any food she steals is usually washed down with a big drink from the toilet. She has the most sorry face in the world when she gets caught, but she is NEVER sorry! Her greyhound brother has been recording her antics on his Twitter feed.
Party Girl is a 7 year old retired greyhound and is available from Rescued Racers in Missouri. In addition to being smarter than all of the people in the house, she is very sweet and loving. She is content to snuggle on the couch with you…up until the point where she runs off with the pillows. She is quiet and takes her retirement quite seriously. Party is also kid friendly, cat safe, and quite petite for a greyhound.
Someone loves mozzarella.
“I ate all the mozzarella on top of Mama’s leek gratin (& of course I left the leek!)”
Hello people! I am a Rescue Spanish Greyhound, although Mama says I’m a lively clown!
Last night, I snuck into the kitchen while Mama was on the phone, got on the counter top, and ate all of the fresh mozzarella she had just spread on her gratin… This ain’t my first food robbery!
Not losing any sleep over it.
This is what Max our loveable greyhound does when he gets bored.
Adoptable Fridays – Dobby Adopted!!!!
This will be Dobby’s second time on DogShaming adoptable Fridays.
Dobby is a miniature greyhound/daschund mix from Lubbock, TX. He’s being adopted through the Humane Society of West Texas. This adorable boy looks just like Dobby from Harry Potter when he is sad. We haven’t had a single inquiry on Dobby since he became our foster baby a few months ago. He is unable to go to pet adoption events each week because he gets so freaked out by all the people and noise that he backs into a corner and growls at anyone that comes near. Everyone misses out on his truly charming personality. Once he gets to know someone one on one he is the sweetest lapdog ever. He loves to snuggle under the covers and is a perfect nap buddy. He gets along great with other dogs, and doesn’t seem to mind cats, although he doesn’t currently live with any. His foster mom takes him to work everyday, and he lovers to ride in the car. He has made huge strides with socialization to other people and is doing great on a leash. He still has issues with men he does not know, however, and should not be adopted into a home with children. He can become fear aggressive when cornered. With people he trusts he is incredibly affectionate and a joy to be around. His info can be found here.
