Xander is an 11 year old retired racer seeking a forever home without cats. Read more about him: Xander’s foster mom calls him her ‘plug-n-play’ foster because he blended in with the pack from day 1. He shares space with two greyhounds and an 18lb crazed Pug/Jack Russel mix, all who are 10 years old. Xander likes lazy days in his senior living home, moving from one dog bed to the next. When he sleeps he seems to be reliving his racing days, his hind legs kicking up a storm to the point where his back end lifts up off the bed, a sight to see. He sleeps peacefully through the night with the rest of the pack in his foster mom’s bedroom.

Xander’s favorite time of day seems to be EARLY in the morning, when he wanders into the living room and does zoomies or helicopter spins. Once he gets his aerobic exercise out of the way he’s ready for his first potty break of the day then breakfast. Xander really enjoys mealtime, sometimes breaking out into a hopping dance while his food is being prepared. He quickly learned where his food station is, standing ready for his bowl to be put down for him. He is a fast eater and is very polite, not bothering the other dogs if they are still eating. Xander also likes his mid day treats his foster mom gives the dogs outside. He’s learned to get in line for his treat and waits patiently for his turn.

Xander doesn’t seem interested in stuffed toys. He seems to be content with getting scritches from his foster mom, tries to give her a kiss but his needle nose gets in the way. He does like to ‘roo’ when he hears a fire/police siren, breaking into his song along with his housemates. Xander also likes to go for a stroll around the neighborhood and does very well on the leash, walking calmly next to his foster mom. He is non-reactive to the barking dogs in the neighborhood and is very good when encountering people. He likes car rides but does need some assistance getting his huge self in and out of the SUV. He does pretty good getting in and out of a mini-van though.

His foster mom says Xander is the perfect dog and the family he selects for his next forever home will be very blessed. Xander will return all the love his next family bestows on him.

Rob is seeking a forever home without cats or small dogs. Read more: Rob is getting the hang of being a pet. He is very much a people dog and follows me around the house everywhere. He always wants me in his sight. He has not barked since he has been with us so he may very well be ok in an apartment.

Rob LOVES his walks!! He receives 2 in the morning during the week (one very early morning with his foster dad and the other a couple of hours later with me). On the weekends we take him for a very long walk. He gets along well with our male greyhound and they play together at times.

Rob might be ok as an only dog since he loves his people, though I think it would be better if his person was not gone for long periods of time during the day. If he had a housemate, they would learn to sort things out. Rob is a HUGE toy hoarder/collector. He will sometimes lay on his toys he has collected instead of a dog bed. He can be a little pushy and will try to get on the dog bed when our greyhound is already laying there or try to take a toy away. We have been working with Rob to stop him when he does this and he’s slowly understanding these behaviors are not welcome.

Rob has not even made an attempt to get on furniture. He is learning to lay down when we are eating as he is not allowed near the table. Rob sleeps in the crate at night and stays there during the day when I am gone for a few hours. Rob is a good boy and sure does LOVE attention!

Forever home needed! Nico is a 120-pound sleek-coated boy with a stunning tuxedo coat. He retired from coyote hunting in Corrales, NM over a year ago. He’s a gorgeous mix of Irish Wolfhound, Borzoi, and Greyhound. His former owner said he is an “alpha” but here in his GALT foster home, he hasn’t shown any signs of that, living peacefully inside with other hounds ranging from 38 to 78 pounds (both a male and females). Outside, we separate him from the smaller and senior hounds for safety, and segregate him at feeding time. Nico walks well on a harness and collar/leash combo and is very well mannered unless a rabbit hops by (and will pull in these cases). Nico is a sociable hound at our weekly pack walks and he has been a perfect patio dining companion at local restaurants. He catches everyone’s eye that meets him as he is one handsome hound.

Nico is very food motivated which makes training easier. He is an excellent and non-picky eater and earns his “bowl-cleaner award” at every meal. He is a bit of a Velcro boy and follows his people around and loves to be pet (but not hugged or hovered over). He is normally quiet and has made an excellent work from home officemate, except when he roos along with his foster pack with his lovely baritone voice. When Nico does bark it is a very big bark which would surely dissuade any intruder. When his foster parents leave, he gets a little anxious for 5-10 minutes, and then goes to nap with the rest of the pack. He is very compliant during needed care activities like taking pills, getting groomed, taking a bath, wearing a cone (after his neuter), wearing a muzzle, sleeping overnight in a kennel for safety (Nico tends to lay across doorways causing a tripping hazard in the dark for his foster dad and Nico has had a couple of instances of sleep startle when stepped on).

Nico got so much of the best of all of his breeds makeup, he got the sweet goofiness of the Irish Wolfhound, the tall elegance of the Borzoi, and the calm content disposition of the greyhound. His forever family is going to be quite lucky to call this boy their own. His ideal forever home will have a yard to spend time together in, a tall secure enclosure (he’s still athletic for a senior), and Nico prefers the company of women, to a fault.

Luther, aka Big Luther, is a handsome, affectionate sighthound mix, estimated to be four years old. A DNA test revealed that he’s 76% greyhound, 10% Polish greyhound, 6% borzoi, 3% Scottish deerhound, 2% whippet, 2% Magyar Agár, and 1% Irish wolfhound. The borzoi peeks out playfully in his white face, round, widely spaced dark eyes, and Romanesque nose. The heavy hunting breeds are also well represented – he is a big boy weighing in around 75 lbs. He has a short, dense, creamy coat in a bright shade of caramel and white.

Luther came to GALT with an untreated, healed fracture of his right hock. It’s one of the many scars he carries from his days of coyote hunting and living on his own with his injury. He doesn’t let it stop him, though. He chases squirrels with his foster brother and leaps through the dog door when he hears something outside. You will notice it when he stands still, such as for grooming. He will tire from balancing on three legs and lie down after a few minutes. I brush him in installments instead of asking him to stand for a long time. He loves to go for short walks. He enjoys meeting the neighbors and investigating new things. He has fun at a park where he walks through a simple agility course. We use a martingale harness to aid in gentle walk training.

His favorite thing to do is collapse into your arms on the couch and sleep through a movie. He is loving and affectionate and thinks all humans are wonderful. Your bad day is officially over when he climbs into your lap or lays his big ol’ head on your shoulder.

Big Luther is playful and goofy. He loves squeaky toys and other small things he can pick up and carry. He’s unafraid of thunder, fireworks, and holiday gunfire. My fosters usually crate for meals, and he prefers to have his meals in a social setting with other dogs. He respects their space with little correction. He sleeps through the night on a dog bed in my bedroom.

Luther’s stress comes from being left alone. I work at home, so he has plenty of attention most days. When I leave the house for a few hours, he has the company of other large dogs and my 14 lb. chihuahua mix. He needs to have people at home to be his happiest. Luther likes to bark, so he would not be a good fit for apartments. He is gentle with my little dog, who is one of his favorite friends. He has not been tested with cats. He likes children, though because of his size, weight, and playfulness, 14 years old and up would be the best fit for him.

💌 North Texas Giving Day is fast approaching. Early giving opens on September 1st and the giving Day is on September 19th. We are pleased to announce that Rick and Linda Vayo, greyhound lovers who started the Amanda and Emmet Golden Years Fund years ago in honor of their senior Rainbow Bridge greys (pictured), generously made our first matching funds pledge! Then, long-time GALT donors, Susan Smith and Wayne Axtell, offered our second pledge in memory of their Rainbow Bridge greyhounds, Biscuit and Gravy!

We will highlight the Vayos, Susan, Wayne, and our other matching fund donors in a special “Meet our 2024 NTGD Heroes” article in our September 6th eNews. All of our matching fund donors (unless wishing to be anonymous) will be listed, along with the names of the hounds they are honoring. If you can pledge $1,000 or more, you can join our team of heroes.

We need your help to make the most of North Texas Giving Day so that we can continue to welcome hounds like Reba, who required significant dental work totaling $2,600. Please email [email protected] by August 31st if you can be a 2024 NTGD Hero!

Happy 8th Gotchaversary to Margot!

22/08/2024

Greyhound Dasher is dashingly handsome. He is seeking a forever home without cats or small dogs. He might even prefer to be an only dog. Read more: Dasher is a striking black and white male from Australia! His Australian handlers mentioned that he is full of joy, especially for toys and food, and they were absolutely correct. His little hops and indoor gallops when he’s truly happy are a wonder to behold.

Dasher is probably best as an only dog in his forever home, because he is a bit possessive about his food and toys. This also means that small children should be monitored with Dasher, though he is very much a people person!

He does have a very high prey drive, so when walking him, a tight hold on the leash is recommended, as any squirrel or rabbit will gain his full attention. That being said, when he is on-leash, he is a very good walker and only pulls when he sees something small and furry.

Dasher is extremely smart and learns quickly. In his foster home, he has learned to jingle the “potty bells” on the patio door when he really needs to go out, learned that “crate” means go to the dog crate for a tasty treat, and is currently working on “sit”! Because he loves food and treats, he will take to training like a fish to water!

When he’s relaxing, he loves to roach and roll around on the dog beds or even the floor. He especially loves to go into the backyard and roll around in the grass, when it is sunny out.

Dasher is also extremely quiet, so he would probably make an excellent apartment dog. He does fairly well in a crate for a few hours (he hasn’t been tested for all day yet), if you need to go out for a bit. He just asks that you leave him some toys or challenges, like a few bits of kibble wrapped in a towel, to occupy himself, while you’re out.

Because he is new to this continent, EVERYTHING is new! He wants to see and smell everything! This also means he will attempt to examine whatever is on the table or counter tops. He does take verbal correction well, so you can prevent such mishaps from occurring. He also does very well in the car, even on longer rides. He is able to jump in the back of a SUV all on his own and wants to go on every car ride!

Dasher is thunder-shy, so a comforting blanket, a familiar toy, and a close-by human will help him get through some of the larger Texas storms. However, he does not appear to have any issues going outside in the rain for potty breaks.

He will definitely enrich his forever family’s lives with his boundless curiosity and happiness and is looking forward to meeting them soon!

Happy 6th Gotchaversary to Sage!

21/08/2024

😍 Brock is a lot of big, beautiful boy to love! He is seeking a forever home without chickens. Cats are ok by him though. Read more: Brock is not your typical sighthound. He’s a unique mix of Irish Wolfhound and mastiff. We affectionately call him Brock-head, an attribute he got from his Dogo Argentino mother. His looks are deceiving, beneath his somewhat imposing exterior is a sweet and loving soul who wants nothing more than to have a family to call his own.

Brock, or Lefty as we like to call him because of his one white paw, enjoys the company of people and likes to be near them at all times. He is currently living with three greyhounds and a cat. He is a very curious guy and likes to go exploring. Brock is often a quiet guy, and is easily entertained by landscapers, and passersby. Brock enjoys squeaky toys, neck scratches, ear scratches, racing around the yard, Brock also knows when it’s time to TCB ( take care of business) outside and stands at the back door to let us know.

Fair notice, Brock is quite agile for his size! He can run stairs, jump into cars and gracefully leap over baby gates and short fences. Our boy will do best in a home with a 6 ft fence or higher. Brock’s ideal home will have plenty of toys, a yard to run, canine or feline friends and people to cherish. Young children may be knocked over if he gets too excited.

He is a quick learner and already knows “come”, “leave it”. With some formal training, there’s no limit to what this “little” lover boy can learn.
