Brought a new rescue pooch home today. Got a call advising about him this morning and the timing was right so made the road trip to bring him home.
A Greyhound I'd had for quite awhile passed away back in late February. A brindle female named Brindle. She was a rescue and was a great dog but wasn't in great health when I got her. She'd had a rough life. She had a good last couple years here before some GI problems caught up with her.
About a month after she passed I got the (smaller female) dog in this picture named Juno. She's a great dog too. Though there are a couple of small Italian Greyhound sort-of-dogs here also that she gets along with at the Greyhound rescue get togethers Juno always gravitates to the males. She seems to like the big boys as buddies.
This morning found out this boy that had been on the track until he was about three then in someone's home was having to come back through the system. It was a people problem and not a dog problem but the issues were going to rain down on the dog. So Juno and I went to visit and brought him home.
So far so good. He's both sweet and playful and has no issues with the little sort-of-dog-like things nor the cat. He's a big boy too. Close to 90 pounds and that's big for a Greyhound. The two dogs are within a month of the same age both turning seven this past spring. So hopefully they'll be a good pair.
Already found out this evening they walk well on leashes together. The new guy is named Marley and it seemed he'd spent little or not time on a leash before. But six blocks in to the walk he was doing great.
Now, of course, he and Juno and all the rest are passed out. Rescue Greyhounds have such difficult lives....
