A Place For Us Greyhounds

Mustang was one of the most dramatic and rewarding rescues we've had in awhile.
A rural family that live 60 miles from Lubbock had spotted him in the field behind their home and were worried about him. We surmise that he was left behind by uncaring hunters. This has happened before--the dog doesn't come back after the hunt and they are left behind.
The family was very kind to him: they fed him and let him stay on their property. (He was so shy and skittish!) We were finally able to capture him inside their barn. Everyone was thrilled--because the arctic cold blast was on it's way and he would have died from cold exposure.
Over the months, the group and its energetic volunteers allowed Mustang to take things at his own pace and he has evolved into a more trusting and outgoing dog.
He loves going on walks and is very secure and assertive.
Mustang is still not comfortable playing in the turnout yard. He seems to get nervous with all that open space.
We believe Mustang is 2-years old. .
Now that he has had his neuter--he is ready for adoption. If you are able to nurture him, take him on plenty of walks, and patiently help him find his way in this scary world--you will be rewarded richly.
Mustang is quirky and eccentric. He is so dapper and happy on his walks! He is only mildly interested in the other dogs that are walking with him. He does not trust bigger and intact males, but would do okay with a gentle-natured female or a neutered male. He has not been tested with cats--but his prey drive is low to nonexistent on walks. We can arrange to cat-test him if you're interested.

We are happy to let you know that the family that recently adopted Max have asked to foster Teddy to see if he might fit in well and get along with Max. If everything works out--they will adopt him. It will also give us the opportunity to see how Teddy will do in a home and learn more about him.
We will keep everyone posted!
Teddy was rescued at around 9-months old, and currently estimated at 2-years old and growing beautifully.
He is a Saluki/Greyhound mix and was left behind after a hunt.
He is very agile and athletic.
Teddy is good with other dogs, potentially cat-friendly with the right family.
He weighs about 55 pounds—a sleek, fast runner who loves chasing toys.
Teddy is still shy around new individuals--he's friendly to the dogs he meets!
We realize that his shyness has likely prevented him from getting adopted and we are hopeful that the right family comes along soon.
If you are interested in agility competitions--we think Teddy would do very well.
Ideal placement with another dog to keep him company--he needs a buddy!

Nutmeg was rescued by kind-hearted college students after they found her out loose in March. She was very ill with tick-borne illnesses when she was rescued.
This lovely Lurcher is now recovered and thriving—she is strong, energetic, and loves affection!
She is 5-years old (according to Embark DNA results, her birthday is May 6, 2020) and she weighs 65 pounds.
Update from October 1st--Nutmeg had a wonderful weekend and spent time in a home with our volunteers--Jamie and Ronnie. You will see some new pics in the photo album. She did well in their home. Nutmeg thought the toys that squeaked were pretty cool. She seemed more at ease outside and they just put her blanket outside for her. Nutmeg was very good on her walks in the neighborhood--she was focused on herself and being on the walk--less inclined to watch for prey to hunt. She slept soundly at night--happily tucked between them in their king-sized bed!
When she met other Greyhounds at the park. She was in a state of happiness and excitement to see the other dogs but also did well when walking without them. She did spot a few squirrels. But, she was calm about them and was easy to walk.
Nutmeg is full of life and love! All she needs now is a family to help her continue to find her way...

Jax is a young Lurcher that was recently rescued from an animal shelter located 100 miles north of Lubbock.
At the time of his rescue, he was in bad shape and we believe he was left behind while on a hunt. He is being treated for intestinal parasites and is underweight at only 54 pounds. As soon as he gets his neuter and dental done--he can be adopted.
He quickly adapted to taking leash walks and playing in the yard with the other dogs.
We believe he is only about 2-years old.
Stay tuned as we learn more about Jax!

This is how it starts--a phone call or email or notification on Facebook. We heard from a family in Amarillo that had taken Remi in on short notice and they were worried that their 4-foot fence could not contain her.
From what we understand, Remi is about 5-years old. She may be part-Deerhound and they were referring to her as a Staghound.
She has lived in a home and is supposedly cat-tolerant and gets along well with other dogs.
She has not been spayed and we will keep you posted as we learn more about her.
A family on our waiting list is interested in her and they would have first preference as far as adopting Remi.
