Greyhounds are known for their ability to melt into sand. Brass is showing you his technique.

(FGF New Brass is looking for a special home - he may have some resource guarding. Please send a message for more information)

Lady is getting ADOPTED! Here she is preparing for her long trip to Canada. She just doesn't know that she doesn't have to run her way there! She will have a cozy vehicle taking here there like her own personal limo.

Most of our pups at the moment are on the younger side, around 2 or 3. John is the exception, as he will be 5 in November! Though he might act like a puppy on occasion, that energy is quick to go. He likes to play with soft toys, but only for a few moments. He will play fetch, but only for 2 throws, and then he is done. John would much rather you spend your time petting him than playing with him. And his second favorite thing to being petted would be to eat! John loves food! His third favorite thing would be talking. John is a loud boy and he wants you to know all of his opinions and thoughts. When it is time to go outside to potty, he will tell you. If you are a minute late to breakfast, he will make sure you know it.

Look at this happy and handsome boy in his new home!! Dealer was adopted last week and has quickly gotten comfortable (and spoiled!). Dealer is living with two cats who have lived with large dogs before, so he fits right in. We LOVE to see the hounds off to their new homes and we love to see them once they are there! Thank you for adopting and happy couch life, Dealer!

Do you like a calm, quiet, peaceful household? Then keep scrolling. Do you like chaos, activity, and fun? Then keep reading!

Boston is a 2 year old male who failed at racing (out of 6 races, he came in 8th most often). But that's okay because he just knew he wanted to cause havoc elsewhere. Boss is very playful and loves toys, with his favorite being a squeaky, stuffed dinosaur that he likes to carry around with him. Once he gets all that play out of him, he wants to try and crawl into your lap so he can give you lots of kisses and love. On a walk, he is an absolute gentleman. At first he might be a little excited to be out and about, but he is quick to settle and enjoys taking in his surroundings without much pulling on the lead. Though he does well with other dogs, he can be a little overwhelming for the calmer pups so he might do best either as an only dog or with another dog who can put up with a little chaos. So far, there is nothing Bossman won't eat. All treats, kibbles, fruits, and vegetables are fair game to him. Similar to a vacuum, even.

Boston has been waiting for his special adopter since February of this year. Do you think you have room for this agent of chaos?

ADOPTION HOLD

Meet Lady! Though she might not sit like a proper lady or have the etiquette of one, she makes up for it in sweetness and kisses. Lady loves the attention of people and she loves to play with the other girls in the yard! She is only 2 years old and sure acts like it with her springy personality. We think that once she goes home, she's going to be her adopter's best friend and want to do everything with them. Lady seems to like everyone she meets, and that includes both men and women! Though it may take her a minute to warm up to strangers, it won't take too long!

Did you see the twins out and about together yesterday? They had a great time playing together in the playroom, seeing guests in the viewing stands, and taking a little walk around the property! Indy had no problem with hopping up onto the couch to lay down and play with her toy. Mort would put her front feet up, but wasn't sure what to do with her other paws. Both of them went up and down the stairs like pros!

The Twins, Mort (CET Mortage) and Indy (CET Interest) had some play time together! We used the muzzles this time because we hadn't given them toys together yet, but there was no aggression of any kind over toys! We would love for these two to get adopted together, but they aren't bonded so they can go separately.

Boston was a wild man this weekend in the office! He took every toy out of the toy box and gave it a good shake to make sure it was dead.

Aspen is a very sweet but very shy girl who needs a quiet home with another dog. She gets scared easily and it takes her a while to warm up to new people and places. Her confidence is significantly boosted when she is around another dog, though. So far, Aspen has not had much interest in playing, but if you sit down with her, she will lean against you so you can pet her. Getting her used to a new house with new people and pets is going to be a long process, so we need a patient adopter who knows how to take it slow with her.
