Looking for a Sponsor!

People save for retirement, but greyhounds aren't so lucky. It's why we created 401(grey). It's a foster dog sponsorship that helps cover the cost of preparing retired racers for adoption.

10 Reasons to Invest in a 401(g)

* You can't foster but want to help adoptable dogs.
* In memory of a pet or person who has died.
* To commemorate a hound's birthday or gotcha day.
* As a gift for someone who has everything.
* To celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, etc.
* A hound's racing or call name has special meaning for you.
* The foster is a littermate or related to one of your hounds.
* An adoptable hound tugs at your heartstrings, but you are not in a position to adopt.
* It's just the right thing to do... Just ask the hound at your feet! ;)

Cute and Sweet

Alex just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter the more he is with us. He is such a gentle dog, but fun and funny at the same time. He has not turned into a treat fiend the way my own hound is, but he is starting to enjoy them more. He takes them very gently from you hand and eats slowly. He is in fact the slowest eating Greyhound I have seen. He takes his time with his food and actually chews some of it instead of inhaling it -- like most hounds I know.

He is doing well with his potty habits. He does all his business on leash. If he needs to go out, he gets restless and goes to the door and looks out and then looks at the leashes, or he will try to get the leash down.

He plays well with other hounds, but he is rather confused by other dogs. He just does not know what to make of them. In fact, I have seen him cower away from dogs of any size who approach him from the front, but with a little time his curiosity overcomes his fear and he will give them a sniff, only from the back though.

He is a good sleeper at night and sleeps on a bed in our room very well. He is, however, an early riser and the latest he sleeps in is about six o'clock, but he is so happy and cute when you get up you overlook the time.

I know there is more to say about Alex but I cannot think of it right now other then to say he is a wonderfully loving dog who puts a smile onto our faces regularly, and he will make someone a great pet. Enjoy the pictures of him in all his cuteness.

Here is the famous tongue in action.

Here he is relaxing after a long hard day of being cute.

First Week

Alex has been with us for a week now and is starting to settle in well. He is a really sweet happy boy. When he is excited about seeing you he bounces around a little and gives kisses to everyone (even another hound if he is in the range of the tongue). He is a big roacher, and when he wants you to pet him he will roll over and paw at you to rub his chest and belly. Alex is just starting to figure out toys and treats, but I think when he gets a handle on them he will be a big fan of both items. We have had a few house breaking accidents, but they were as much my fault as his, so I do not see that being a big problem. We are still working on getting him on to our schedule and routine but that should start happening soon. That is all for now other then we will be at 100 Oaks Meet and Great on Saturday, so come out and meet this sweet lovable boy.

Ejoy the pictures I hope to have more and maybe some video of him being cute soon.
