Today went greyt! Dr.Sutherland and Jarred did checkups at the rescue kennel today. Cotton needs a tooth pulled and Anna Suzanna was brave quickly figuring out how to do their stairs. That mobile unit from Live Oak Animal Hospital is fabulous. Teddy and Mustang had checkups too. Fantastic! 😀

Oh wow--what a day. Shannon was relinquished by a gentleman from the Lynn County area. He had had her for 3 weeks and determined she wasn't a bit interested in chasing game and was hopeful that our group could find a home for her. He met me at Live Oak Clinic on 98th Street. Okay! This morning Shannon got a clean bill of health from Dr. Cunningham at Live Oak Animal Hospital. Hooray! She is a very observant dog and in the first pic where she was most likely enjoying her very first car-ride--she was acting concerned as I was zooming along and having happy thoughts over how sweet and fun she is--so friendly and outgoing. Wow! Finally, she said to me--"Linda, there's a black and white car with flashing lights behind us--maybe you should pull-over." Yikes! Going 55 in a 45. Double yikes! But, good news--Shannon was so charming, I got off with a warning ticket. Hooray!! Stay tuned as we determine more about Shannon and search for the perfect home for her. :)

Important announcement--Molly who was previously known as Holly has been adopted by the Taylor family. We know she will be spoiled and loved by them--they've welcomed countless Greyhounds and Lurchers into their home. Lynda is explaining all of this to sweet Molly who was rescued off the streets in December.

Happy, grateful, and tired! My goodness it's been busy. This morning my husband, Bryan and I were successful in capturing this Lurcher you see in the first picture. His new name is Mustang--when I was explaining some of the quirks of families that adopt from us, I mentioned to Shelli that sometimes they named them after "fast cars" and she suggested Mustang for this little guy. He was located in a rural area between Olton and Plainview, TX. Shelli Lawson's family had been feeding him and letting him sleep in their barn. We think he's been loose for about a month--we feel sure he was left behind by hunters. He's very skittish and a bit feral--but otherwise in good shape. He seems young and when he gets more settled in we will take him to the clinic. Jasper(pictured on the right) is also a very lucky Lurcher--he was captured by the Tulia Animal Control officer near their daycare center on January 13th and relinquished to our group on January 16th. He's young and seemingly healthy. He has a doctor's appointment set for Tuesday. If anyone in the Lubbock area would like to help me take the dogs to their visits--please let me know. It's lots safer when two of us can do the transports. Welcome to Mustang and Jasper--we know we will find you wonderful homes!

GREYT Updates about Suzy (Anna Suzanna). She is making lots of progress. We went to Live Oak South for her nail trim a couple of days ago--and she was so fab. In the past, she was nervous and snarky! But--it went great as she was very cool in the waiting room--it got very busy. She's a smart girl and realized that if she went into the secluded room and the door was kept open--she could keep an eye on all the action but be safely away. Suzy let some strangers pet her and she walked back without any hesitation when Cora took her to trim the nails. Suzy has become a world-class leaner--Go Greyhounds! She was very calm on a recent walk and let me remove a sticker from her paw--this used to freak her out--but she's over that. And here's another funny factoid--today there were 5 roosters on our walking trail at the kennel and she barely noticed them. She was within 2-feet of one of them. Suzy is excellent on leash walks. Sometime soon, we will add more adventures. I'd like to walk her in residential areas to see if she responds to other dogs that are out on the leash. We've been to Tractor Supply and she did well--so maybe PetSmart or Pet Supplies to see how she does. Go Suzy--you got this! :)

I promised Happy News for the New Year--so here goes! Skye was recently adopted by the Thorn family and she is pictured here with Susan, Peyton, and their very entertaining Bassett hound named Marcel. When we rescued Skye from the panhandle area--I felt certain she might work out for the Thorn family. By all reports--they are having a wonderful time and she is adjusting very well. Fantastic!

I am so terribly sad to let you know that Riley recently passed away due to complications from Dilated Cardiomyopathy. We were unaware that she was ill until her final day when she wasn't eating and not acting like herself. Leading up to that day--I has worried that she was becoming depressed since she hadn't played with me in the yard for several days. Riley was only 5-years old at the time of her death. We rescued her in 2021. I will add a link about this disorder in case you are interested. Sighthounds are at risk to develop DCM especially Irish Wolfhounds and Scottish Deerhounds. Riley was part-Wolfhound. https://www.dailypaws.com/dogs-puppies/health-care/dog-conditions/dcm-in-dogs We will miss Riley and her funny, quirky personality.

Before the wet and cold weather--we had a fun day at the kennel with all the sweet Greyhounds. Bromley was particularly entertaining--we were headed off for his usual walk around the property when he spoke up, "Say Mate--could we go on a car-ride?" Well sure--whenever a retired racer from Australia makes a request--we're on it! We took him to the "Silent Wings Museum" for a WALKABOUT (!!)--sorry couldn't resist lapsing back into the Australian lingo. He had a blast! Also, look at him demonstrating his skills on the short flight of stairs. Brom is GREYT. He had a successful racing career and now he's ready to go to the next phase of his life. He's 6-years old, loves the crate, loves car-rides, has excellent leash manners, loves ear rubs and hugs! What else do you need? He's assertive enough to be an "only dog" and should be well-suited to live in almost any environment--urban or rural. Love, love--let's find Bromley a home!

Here's AUTUMN "looking at you". Seriously, her name is Autumn and she was recently rescued off the streets of Lubbock. It was a harrowing rescue and took four volunteers-in four vehicles over 2 hours to capture her. She's doing well--now weighs 48 pounds and is recovering from her spay. She's still shy and very unsure of herself. She enjoys ear rubs! We believe Autumn is 2-years old. Huge thanks to Gillian Velasquez and Robin and Danny Holder for helping rescue this sweet dog.

Cotton's song today is "Twist and Shout"! He's just hilarious about that blasted hedgehog. We have to keep a spare on hand since he will typically bury at least one of them. Cotton is in the prime of his life--he's 6-years old and healthy as he can be. He has a playful puppy side to him and he is very affectionate. Isn't he stunning? Adopt Cotton--you will have many years of happiness...

"You're the Sunshine of my Life!" Seriously--look at how adorable Teddy is as he's running and playing in the sun. He's doing so well--he needs a home and a family so he will continue to grow and thrive. He's still shy--but always comes to me whenever I call him. One day--he stayed still long enough to let me rub his ears! Did you remember that Teddy is very young--we think he's about 1-1/2 years old. Pint-sized, too at about 45 pounds. Help us get him to the next stage of his life!

Bromley wanted to show you his agility & his work out in the yard. He is art in motion & mabey inspired us to get out there and get moving in the fresh air. He is available for adoption.

♥️🐾Anna Suzanna has come such a long way since coming to our rescue kennel. She was running around on an oil lease in the Midland area with another male dog who ended up being hit by a car. Anna Suzanna was very fearful of people and it took lots of patience to catch her.When she arrived at our kennel she was pretty much feral& it took about a month to put a collar& leash on her… and today she is the best walker on the leash. She is a bit of a diva and likes to let to know the hounds that she is the queen.She is so happy at the rescue kennel and she thinks that’s as good as it can get,which is a bit sad because we know there is a forever home out there for her.Anna Suzanna would be a great only dog & she loves running in a yard.#saluki#salukirescue #salukisofinstagram #greyhound#greyhoundrescue#lurcher#lurchersofsinstagram #lurcherrescue#lubbock#westtexas#dogsofinstagram #adoptables
