My story

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

O Ya Thata Boy, R 60E, L 74681

I'm Bravo. I love going on walks. I have slightly droopy cheeks that are quite charming. One look at me and you won't be able to resist kissing my snoot. (I dare you to try!) I am shy at first, but give me time to settle in and I will show you I am a very friendly guy. Once I break out of my shell, I get along with everyone I meet! I would rather not be left alone in a room with food within my reach. It's just too tempting for me to try and have a taste. I need a home that will be diligent with making sure I don't run out the door. I just get so excited to have the opportunity to go outside! My foster family says that I am a really sweet guy and just need a bit more time to learn my manners. I do really well with being redirected and do listen to the word "no." I'm still learning about toys. Right now I prefer the human's stuffed animals and slippers to dog toys.

Personality Traits: laid back, social, velcro dog, shy

More about this rescue

We are the Minnesota chapter of Greyhound Pets of America.

Greyhound Pets of America is a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation founded in 1987 for the purpose of finding homes for ex-racing greyhounds and educating the public on the suitability and availability of greyhounds as pets.

All of our greyhounds go into foster homes where they can acclimate to their new lives as retired racers. We also get a better idea of their personalities so we can make the best possible match with their new family.

We have found great success in matching the personalities of the greyhounds with the personalities of the new families. We test all our greyhounds to see if they can live with small animals and many of our greyhounds go on to live in families with other pets, including cats.

Greyhound Pets of America - Minnesota is run entirely by volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to the cause of rescuing retired greyhounds. GPA-MN and our volunteers are committed to making sure all our greyhounds have a happy, safe and long life while in our care as well as after they find their forever homes.

If you're planning to get a dog, we hope you will consider adopting one of our retired racers!
