Slammin Slippy
« on: January 26, 2015, 10:59:27 am »
A new load of greyhounds arrived on the weekend, and our adoption process is almost complete. Our new addition will have to undergo several tests/ spay and if all goes well, we will be welcoming her to our family in a week or two. It must have been some shock to get off the trailer from Florida to our weather up here!
Welcome Slammin Slippy Brandt. ;D

What a beautiful greyhound! I'm so happy for both sides of this adoption. Love the brindle coat.

How old is she? Do you have any history on her? This is exciting!

All the information can be found here. Scroll down for race career:
http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?z=aWA-ca&d=slammin+slippy&sex=f&color=&birthyear=201x&birthland=
She raced 17 times and never placed, that's probably why she was "retired" so young. Some greys just are not "prey driven" and wash out. This works in our favour having 2 cats and a rabbit running around 24/7!  :D

I Agree! She won't be so used up either. She's going to have a lovely life with the Brandt family  :eusa_clap:

Tell me, beings she in cold country now, its it neccessary for her to have sweater of some sort. Grey's are sleek and have short hair, thinking she would be cold? or am I over mothering again  :D

Be careful Perry.  The town Mayor adopted a Greyhound..    What a nice dog!   He took it on walks every evening..  two weeks or so later, a cat ran across the road..  Tom wasnt paying attention, leash got yanked free...
   In less than an hour, the town lost half a dozen cats, a few rabbits and one squirrel..   I was all for giving the dog a medal, but apparently the owners of the cats were not as happy...
   Prey driven is a good word.    Am worried about your cats and rabbit.

   Beyond that? I think that Grey could not have gotten a better home!

she's beautiful! Are you going to rename her? Or what are you going to call her?

 You are going to need to put some shoes on that dog, her feet will get frost-bite if not.

We haven't really decided what to call her. Sometimes the owners have pet names for some of their dogs, we'll see if she has one of those she recognizes. If not we'll make one up, it's not like they listen to the track announcers as they yell out their names.
The good kennels have a close attachment to their dogs, going so far as to give them personalized names, keeping resident cats, etc. there, so that the transition to adoption agencies is made easier.
GPAC, the agency up here, has developed a close relationship to several of the owners/ kennels at the tracks in order to establish an easier process to saving the dogs.
I have to be upfront and honest here, these dogs are the perfect breed for the laziest of the laziest owner. They are not an endurance dog, 3 or 4 15 minute walks a day is all they need, more is only a bonus. They are used to hellbent for 30+ seconds and that's it! They are the easiest dog to look after, they barely shed and they do not bark. We had to absolutely goad Rosie into getting her to roo.

I see that they already removed the bus that's usually stuck on their side.   ;D  Bet that costs more than spaying.  Beautiful doggy.

No, I just grabbed that one off the net to show rooing.
This is Rosie.
