A Place For Us Greyhounds

Charlie was in an animal shelter in Lovington, New Mexico after he was found running loose along a busy highway.
We believe he will turn one-year old around the 1st of April. He weighs over 60 pounds and has had his neuter.
His health is good after receiving antibiotics for two types of tick fever.
He is doing very well in foster care. His family is taking him on lots of adventures and giving him plenty of love and affectionate.
He is doing well on his walks--very curious and energetic! Charlie loves to ride in the car--so much so that sometimes, he's a bit balky about getting out!
Charlie is catching on to house training and they are able to leave him crated for a couple of hours at time.
We are so grateful to help this sweet and beautiful Lurcher. His foster family deserve highest praise for their hard work helping Charlie find his way. He has had some hard times in his short life--stay tuned as we learn more about him in a home environment.
Charlie's shoulder injury has just about healed up.
We let him play off-leash in the dog park. He played well with the other dogs so we believe he can live in a home with other dogs. Ideally, dogs that are close to his size and temperament. He has not been tested with small dogs and/or cats.
He's a big Lurcher--he currently weighs about 70 pounds.

The Lurchers were relinquished to our group on March 2nd.
Ava is in 2 pics(Also shown on a walk), Zoe (in the dog run), and Sean (doing acrobatics in his kennel pen!).
We have just collected their DNA tests-expecting results in 2-3 weeks.
Ava is about 4-years old--she was relinquished because she showed no interest in hunting coyotes. No prey drive--good news for us!
Zoe and Sean are litter-mates. I believe that their mother is a Greyhound. We are wondering if they are part-Wolfhound, but we will not know until we get the DNA results. Their coats are brindle and wiry. They were born in December, 2024.
Ava is more mature and confident.
Zoe is shy.
Sean is energetic--he will need the most work with leash training--get ready!
Their medical checkups are set for March 11th.
They have lived their entire lives on a ranch--we have some work ahead to get them used to their new environment and lives as pets instead of working dogs.
Ava, Zoe, and Sean are very neat Lurchers and we are so happy to be able to help them.

Teddy had been at our kennel for over a year. We made tremendous progress with him during that time. Basically, he entered as an adolescent and left as a young man!
This little guy had been left behind in a rural area by hunters--we rescued him from a farm family that live in Hale County. At the time of his rescue, he was healthy and quickly learned to walk on the leash--in fact he was quite accomplished with this skill in a very short time!
Teddy had lots of things he loved--including other dogs.
But--when potential families showed up to meet him--he was stand-offish and not affectionate. It was heartbreaking for us to witness this.
Enter Dr. Nick Jeffery and Teddy's world quickly changed. Dr. Jeffrey had had Lurchers in the UK. He had helped an extremely shy one become socialized and understood that Teddy didn't mean to be unfriendly or un-affectionate--he just needed some gentle leadership and understanding.
Needless to say when Dr. Jeffrey contacted us inquiring about adopting Teddy--we were "over the moon" with happiness.
And best of all--Teddy lives with another Lurcher--they are a good pair!

The rescue and adoption group is thrilled to share this album that includes all the dogs that were rescued and successfully placed during 2025, and in the early months of 2026.
For a couple of weeks, there weren't any dogs at the rescue kennel. This is the first time this has happened in many years.
We used the time to recharge and renew our commitment to helping Lurchers in need. At the beginning of March--three new West Texas Lurchers arrived.
Help us as we welcome the newcomers and pay tribute to all the lucky Lurchers that moved into their new homes!
