Sanctuary for Greyhounds

Our Greyhounds

Heidi

Our first Sanctuary dog arrived on July 17, 2008. Heidi is over 11 years old, and suffers from severe skeletal issues resulting from a racing injury that broke both hocks when she was 3. The injury fused her hocks at nearly a 90-degree angle, forcing her to walk awkwardly on callouses. With her racing career over, she was bred regularly for over 7 years. As is common with older Greyhounds, Heidi also has periodontal disease.

Despite her life-long injuries, Heidi has developed very strong shoulders as compensation for the reduced function of her hind legs. She enjoys spending time playing in the yard and interacting with the other two Greyhounds, a shepherd/terrier mix, and four cats. She is a happy, loving, and sweet girl.

Talulla

Talulla was surrendered to GCNM because her adopters were no longer able to care for her. She had developed epilepsy a few years earlier, and a cascade of other problems developed in the process of treating her seizures. She has scarring of her kidneys, although her kidney function remains quite good. GreHome has taken her in as a GCNM foster and, after several months of testing and working with her meds, we have her seizures under control and are seeing kidney improvement.

We will soon be looking for an adoptive home for this beautiful girl. She is 8 years old, lively, and affectionate. She has a playful and outgoing personality, and gets along well with other dogs and cats.
