My Hounds
I adopted my first two greyhounds, Pol and Bel, in 2001 from Greyhound Crossroads. They were just over 2 years old at that time and had been trained for racing at one of the Florida racetracks but were released from their racing kennel before they actually raced. An interesting caveat to their story is that Pol and Bel are sisters and were together through the first 2 years of their lives as puppies and in the racing kennel and then were released together to the same adoption agency; a sequence of events that is fairly rare in the ex-racing greyhound world. Two others from their litter, a sister (Val) and a brother (Tam) who had been racing in the same kennel in Florida, were released from racing about a year after I adopted Pol and Bel. They were also sent to Greyhound Crossroads for adoption. Obviously, I couldn't resist having 4 littermates, so I added Val and Tam to our family in 2002 when all four were just over 3 years old. The Sibs are a very interesting and entertaining pack to live with! I hope that you enjoy their pictorial tour presented in the photo gallery below. If you have any questions about my Sibs or about greyhound adoption, please contact me.
