BIG GOOFY BOY!
Abraham is almost all black except for a white blaze on his chest, 3 "sugar" feet and a white sugar tipped tail. He is tall and long and gorgeous. He likes to follow his people everywhere (you will definitely have company in the bathroom). He is very smart and a total food hound! He has never met a bowl of food he didn't like. He is funny and loves to be loved. He adores his stuffies and will carry them throughout the house. Abraham's foster mom describes him as "a sweet and gentle old soul in a teenager's body". Abraham would probably do best in a home with older children because he is so big and clumsy. He loves to romp and frolic outside and he needs to have a buddy so a home with a fenced backyard and another medium to large sized dog would be ideal for him. We know that Abraham will bring some lucky adoptive family much love and joy for many years

PRETTY RED GIRL!
Becka is a very lovely young gal with an outstanding personality! She gets along well with the other Greys in her fosterhome and is a joy to have around. More info and Becka updates to come!

TINY GAL!
Bliss arrived at H.O.T. from Gulf Greyhound Park after suffering a career-ending injury in her last race. She did break her right rear hock, but it was tended to immediately by the track vet, reassessed by one of H.O.T.'s vets, and she is doing fine.
Her foster mom describes Bliss as a greyt dog who is a go-along, get-along type, and has not had any problems chewing or messing on the floor. She adds that Bliss is very retiring, not overly demonstrative, a typical female.
In her first foster home, Bliss crated well and ate "like a horse",

DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN!
Carlton is a handsome brindle boy with lots of love to give.
Unlike some of the youngsters in the group, Carlton is now a man of leisure and takes retirement very seriously. Instead of long walks, Carlton would prefer to keep them short and spend the rest of the time relaxing with his humans.
Carlton is searching for people who enjoy the things he does, such as napping, eating and scritches behind the ears.
If you enjoy those things too, maybe Carlton's the right Greyhound for you!

JUST A SWEETHEART!
Daisy is one of five Greyhounds who came to H.O.T. from John Bassett's Greyhound Farm. Mr. Bassett had 50 Greyhounds ranging in age from six through 14 years of age who needed placement. H.O.T. was one of the groups who stepped up to help out and took six to allow them to find forever homes or to live out their lives in comfort and loved in a foster home.
Described as friendly, curious, interactive and affection, we have to totally agree. Daisy is just a real doll baby who just loves life. Daisy came to H.O.T. missing lots of hair due to flea dermatitis. After the fleas were erraticated, Daisy's hair grew in and she has soft "bunny fur".
Daisy was taken to the H.O.T. vet for evaluation. The majority of her teeth were pulled but the vet was unable to spay her due to the time her dental took. The vet also noted that Daisy's pupils stay fully dilated which could indicate that Daisy has some blindness. Daisy and Scarlet are best buds.
Daisy doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. She has found contentment in her foster home giving the new Chihuahua puppy gentle baths!

SEEING DOUBLE?
Double is being fostered in Helotes.
Double and his six friends have arrived at H.O.T. from the Gulf Greyhound Park. Double was retired to due breaking his right hock in his last race on July 4th. Double was taken immediately to the H.O.T. vet upon arriving. Double's cast was removed and he is using his leg only favoring it once in a while. H.O.T.'s vet said Double was well cared for by the track vet and kennel personal at the Gulf!
Double is a gorgeous boy with the dark markings around his eyes and on his muzzle and ears. He is gentle when dealing with his foster family and loves to stand for pets and scritches. Double crates beautifully and has a good appetite.
Due to his previous broken hock, it might be better for Double to adopted into a family with children who are steady on their feet so as to not trip and fall on Double. But we do feel that Double would greyt with children of any age.
Some family will be so lucky to give Double the home that he so richly deserves.

RESCUE FROM BROWNSVILLE SHELTER!
Duncan is fostering in Corpus Christi.
Duncan was found 02/09/10 as a stray. Although not tattooed, Duncan is 100% Greyhound. Duncan was found living on the streets eating out of traps set out for small animals.
Reports from the shelter say that Duncan is a nice dog, very quiet who keeps to himself.
More info and pictures will be posted when available.

JUST A SWEETHEART!
Eliza has arrived at H.O.T. from the Gulf Greyhound Park. Her trainer has told us that Eliza was a little shy but overall a wonderful young gal.
Well, H.O.T. concurs with Eliza's trainer's opinion. Although a little shy when first arriving at H.O.T., Eliza soon proved herself to be a playhound who loves tossing the stuffies and chasing after the other Greys in her foster home.
Eliza is a beautiful young gal who crates beautifully and gets along with the little kitten in her foster home. Once settled in her home, Eliza doesn't need to be around her humans all the time. She finds ways to keep herself entertained.
We feel that Eliza would do best in a home with other dog companions.
Eliza will bring lots of love and laughter to the lucky family who falls in love with her.

CAN YOU SAY, PERFECT?!
Emma comes to H.O.T. as an owner surrender who adopted her from an out-of-state group. No paperwork was provided and her tattoos are unreadable. So, positive identification is not possible at this time. Her birthdate tattoos are an educated guess.
Emma is in beautiful shape and is a perfect Greyhound in her foster home. She has a beautiful brindle coat and as you can tell from the pictures, she loves to be close to her human.
In her previous home, she lived with a chihuahua and small children. In her foster home, she is exposed to cats on a daily basis. Emma is perfect in any situation.
Emma does crates beautifully but doesn't need to be. When she first arrived at H.O.T., Emma was a little overweight. She also was a little picky with her eating. So, Emma was able to take off a few pounds and is now eating well and looks perfect.
We feel that Emma is destined to give her special brand of love to the family lucky enough to adopt her!

FLAMING REDHEAD!
Eather, along with five others, has arrived at H.O.T. from a Greyhound farm going out of business in Galveston.
Eather washed out after running six races, much preferring a life of leisure to being a racer! At this point, we feel that Eather would do well as an only Greyhound, but we are still evaluating her.
Eather is a bright red and she has dark accents on her face which gives her a very expression-filled expression. In her foster home, Esther does get along with all the other Greyhounds.
Esther really isn't a big play hound. Much preferring to just lay down and watch life go by around her. She does crate well and eats well at dinnertime.
Esther is just a little darling who is looking for a special family to call her own.

BRINDLE BEAUTY!
Fissby is being fostered in Helotes.
Fissby, along with five others, has arrived at H.O.T. from a Greyhound farm going out of business in Galveston.
Fissby was a racer, then a brood matron, and is looking to start her third career as a "couch potato"!
In her first home, Fissby was a good gal but it was obvious that she wanted a home where she would be more on one-on-one with the humans. Fissby crated beautifully and got along with everyone, but it was the space issues she was having which led us to that conclusion.
In her current foster home, upon entering, Fissby immediately bonded herself to the 10-year old son. They are working with Fissby on getting her used to steps and other aspects of their home environment. Fissby is thriving in her current foster home! She is becoming more confident and has learned to climb stairs beautifully! She is affectionate and very playful and enjoyable to have around.
Fissby is the whole package of looks and personality and is looking for a very special home to call her own!

JUST A SWEETHEART!
Flirt is being fostered in Corpus Christi.
Flirt came to H.O.T from Brownsville Animal Control in 11/07/09. We thank everyone who was involved in taking care of Flirt and helping get her to H.O.T. so that she can have a chance to find a wonderful forever home!
From her tattoos, we see that Flirt last raced at the Valley Greyhound Track in 2003. We don't know what happened between then and now, but we know that Flirt will be loved for the sweet Greyhound she is now that she is with H.O.T.
As you can see from the pictures, Flirt has quite a bit of ticking on her. We're sure that most children will call her a dalmation when she starts attending Show 'n Tail!

Rest In Peace sweet Flanagan
Flanagan peacefully crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Monday July 26th.
He will be truly missed by all those who's lives he touched.
