🎩 Gene is a mature (6 year old) gentleman hound seeking a forever home. We do not know whether he can live with cats. Read more: Gene is a striking white and brindle male who embodies the calm disposition typical of greyhounds, yet he also has moments of silliness that keep things lively. Known as a “velcro dog,” Gene loves to follow you around the house, reminding you just how affectionate this breed can be.

Based on his previous living situation, Gene isn’t a good fit for apartment living, as he thrives better in a home with space to roam and relax. Gene is fine with other dogs, though he needs some supervision during feeding time to prevent any resource-guarding issues.

During daily walks, he interacts well with small dogs without showing aggression. However, lots of neighborhood noises (lawn mowers, trash trucks…) are a little scary for him.

Interestingly, Gene might be okay with cats. He’s been known to approach the neighbor’s cat in their yard with curiosity, barking playfully yet remaining non-aggressive when she playfully bops him on the nose. He has not been officially cat-tested.

Gene loves his food and treats, often benefiting from a slow-feeder bowl. While he can be a bit of a counter-surfer, he usually listens when corrected. This is a work in progress!

One of Gene’s standout qualities is his calm demeanor at home. He’s 100% housebroken, doesn’t require crating, and has no destructive behaviors. He can comfortably be left home alone with another greyhound for a few hours, making him a low-maintenance companion.

Car rides can be a bit stressful for Gene, so it’s essential to ensure he feels secure. However, he thoroughly enjoys having human visitors at the house, showcasing his friendly personality and love for social interaction.

Gene exemplifies the lovable traits of greyhounds—gentle, playful, and affectionate. While he has some quirks, like resource-guarding and his counter-surfing, these are manageable with understanding and training. If you’re considering adopting a greyhound, remember that they can be wonderful companions, just like Gene!

Luther joined the GALT family about a year ago. He came to us after a life as a coyote hunting dog with a previously broken back leg that had not been treated. He was turned in to a Wichita Falls vet to be euthanized. The doctor contacted Good Samaritan clients instead, who stepped in to take Luther. Ultimately, the Good Samaritans couldn't keep him due to their health issues.

We believe Luther to be about four or five years old now. While he gets along fairly well most days, our vet's most recent evaluation showed that he would likely benefit from having it surgically repaired. On Tuesday, January 28, Dr. Radasch at DVSC performed successful tarsal arthrodesis surgery on Luther. The procedure corrected his hock joint, which is similar to the ankle bone in humans. Luther will be in an external fixator for eight to ten weeks and under very restricted activity in his foster home while he recovers. He is doing well and will, once again, be available for adoption when he is fully healed.

Luther's surgery and postoperative care will cost us about $6,500. Luther is a good boy and worth every dime, but we sure could use your help paying the bills. Please consider giving whatever you can to help our precious boy on his journey home forever. You can give on our website to our Nitsche Medical Fund or to our Facebook/Instagram fundraiser (https://www.facebook.com/donate/1119784129620670/). Thank you!
