Colorado Greyhound Adoption

Many times, people ask how Colorado Greyhound Adoption gets many of the greyhounds available for adoption. Here is a short video that provides a behind-the-scenes look at how greyhounds are brought into our program:

Thanks to Dan Frank from 5280 ProVideo for shooting and producing this video, and our many volunteers that work together to help retired racing greyhounds find their forever homes!

Look at me!! The vet said that I am now restriction free and can do lots and lots of zoomies!! I can even hop up and down like a kangaroo when I get excited. Which is a lot since I am a happy, happy girl!
Look at me run run run fast fast fast!!
My foster mama loves me so much and I have bonded with her, but I know it is now time to find my forever home.
So, I am ready for my close up now! I have come through so much! I hope my forever family is paying attention and can snap me up fast fast too!

Hello!

I am Jewels, and I am a petite 9 year young female greyhound.

I am a lover and a snuggle bunny! I am a bit shy and reserved at first but when I bond with my people, I am devoted. I follow them all over the house just so I can be near. I love walks and car rides and going places with my people and my dog buddies.

I would be best in a house with another dog or dogs since I have some separation anxiety. My foster family is working with me, but I am still not happy when I am left alone. Submissive dogs are best too, since I might disagree with them about who is in charge. I am not cat safe or small dog safe, and definitely not very good with children. I just don’t know what to make of them and I can react badly when I get all nervous.

I am a very good girl in the house and have excellent potty manners as long as you don’t put me in a crate. I hate crates! I do my best to destroy the crate if you put me in one!

My foster family loves me very much and knows that with the right environment and the right forever family, I will be a wonderful dog.

Surely your life needs some Jewels!?

I am on the mend!

Surgery went well and I keep getting better and better.  It is a gradual thing, and the progress is slow.  I’m getting pretty good at using that leg on our walks and I still get all excited and hop around when I see my leash come out.  But I get tired, and use the leg less toward the end of the walk.  My foster mama assures me that it will improve and get stronger I just have to be patient.

I’m on some antibiotics to make sure there isn’t an infection, and I continue to charm everyone.

Thanks to everyone who donated money for my surgery.  I am now getting follow up care and my wonderful foster mamas are doing physical therapy to help me heal.  Soon I will be healed enough to run fast fast to my forever family.  I've got lots of smooches to give when I finally meet them!

Love,
Tommi Carter

When they called me a Million Dollar Dog, I was super excited!   I felt so special!  Am I really one in a million?  Is that why everybody loves me?!  My foster mamas sure thinks I am an extra special girl!  I’m a million dollar dog!!  Woohoo!!

But then I realized that they were talking about my medical bills.  Those are the million dollars.  I have big bills.  I don’t like having big bills!

The veterinarian said stuff like “ulnar carpal bone” and “pancarpal arthrodesis”  and “over $5000.”
