Zoe has had her spay. She is doing well and should be available for adoption as soon as she recovers from her spay. Her DNA is quite interesting--I believe her Mother is a Greyhound. Her sire--well I suppose that accounts for Zoe's very unique breeds combination. This is the sweetest Lurcher we have had in a long time. She is very affectionate and is catching on to leash walking. Compact at only 52 pounds and such a lovely, unique coat--stunning!! She will celebrate her 2nd bithday in December. Let us know if you want to meet her--she's really neat...

We had rescued Cassie a few weeks back. She was relinquished by a hunter that lives in this area. Thankfully, she was healthy! This sped up the time between our getting her and when she got spayed and medically cleared. Kirk and Brenda were mourning the loss of their lovely Lurcher named Laney. They wondered if they wanted to adopt again so soon--they wondered if they should stay dog-less for a bit? But--after they met Cassie--they wanted to adopt her. And she was so very happy to get into their SUV and enter their lives--look at all those smiles! Happy days ahead!

We accepted these three Lurchers from a hunter last week. They are all doing well. Ava is the oldest-we were told she wasn't interested in hunting coyotes showing no "prey drive". She is about 4-years old, very affectionate, and doing well on the leash. Zoe and Sean are litter-mates and I believe that their mother is a Greyhound. We have sent off DNA tests. The pics aren't that great--but they are brindle colored. Zoe is shy but loves belly rubs. Sean is a typical silly adolescent male--high energy for sure! Zoe has never been on a hunt--I am not sure about Sean. We are working on their leash walking--its going slowly but we are making progress. Zoe and Sean were born sometime during December, 2024. We will post regular updates about our newcomers-stay tuned...

And just like that--Jack has a home and a family! He was adopted yesterday by the Bowers family from Oklahoma including Vanessa, Andy, along with their children-Jo and Fletcher. And last but not least their sweet 6-year old Greyhound named Pepper who was adopted from our group in 2022.

Jack has been pre-adopted! He's looking a bit nervous in this picture--he hasn't quite gotten used to car-rides. He already weighs 57 pounds. His neuter is set for next week. After he recovers, he has a wonderful family waiting to adopt him. Outstanding!

I wanted to share some wonderful news--Teddy got adopted this morning by Dr. Nick Jeffrey who is a veterinarian at Texas A&M. As you can see--Teddy wasn't acting very enthusiastic--but we know once he gets home with Dr. Jeffrey's other Lurcher named Leo that it'll be "good days and fun-times" ahead. (Teddy doesn't mind humans--but he is most partial to doggy friends so I knew he'd need a canine buddy to help him adjust).I was thrilled when I learned that Nick has had experience with shy Lurchers in the past. Happy, Happy!!
