My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We think Rick is the winning-est hound we’ve ever rehomed for our friends in Australia. In 104 starts in both mainstream and senior racking, he won 34 times – batting over .300 – until he pulled a muscle and raced into retirement and a ticket to Washington.

You might expect him to be a huge handful, but this handsome brindle guy checks in at well under 70lbs, and is just a confident, happy guy with a nice grin and a helicopter wag.

Rick has been calm and curious as he transitions from track training to pet life and discovering toys and traffic, sniffaris and stairs, dog hugs and head rubs as he searches for his forever home.
We think his ideal place would have a fenced yard big enough for zoomies, with people who like walks and wags in equal measure.
