June 2009 – Adoptables
Well folks, we had our adoptables down to 2, but suddenly the list is growing. Here is the most up to date list of B&J adoptables. Please email me at wmlcml6@gmail.com if you are interested in any of these love bugs.
CTW Well Done (Steak) ADOPTED!!! Steak has been adopted by Beth Lambdin and will move to Texas in mid-July.
Se’s Top Speed (Topsy)
Pak Black Rock (Smokey)
Hanks Polo (Polo)
Meet Polo! The other half of Marco, who now lives with his dad Whistlers Hank! Polo is a gentle sweet boy who is ready for his home. He isn’t overly exhuberant and just loves to be near people. He would be fine with other dogs and I’m betting that he would be cat safe.
HUGS for me!!!

March Adoptables
We’ve got quite the crew waiting for their forever homes. We will take any help you or your group can give.
Meet John– Moved to Atlanta Greyhound Adoption to find his forever home.
He is out of the Beatle Boys– George and Ringo have both been adopted and are doing wonderfully, and Paul is still racing. John would do best as an only dog. He is really coming out of his shell and loves his people. He is playful and loves to lean on you and get scritchies!
Scritchies for me!
Jealous?!
ADOPTED! June 2009! And the ever famous Jeremy. He is a skootchy butt extraordaire. He LOVES his lovies!!! Jeremy is very special to us and we hope he gets a very special home…
Yes I KNOW I'm handsome
Wanna gimme a smooch?
ADOPTED by Linda Sheffield April 2009! We were so excited to learn that Jeremy’s littermate Josith was coming to us. He is sweet as ever. Joseph didn’t race with us and came in a little thin. He is a bit timid but he warms up. His face would melt the coldest hearts.
Hi everyone!!
This side? I'm handsome
ADOPTED by Lucy Whidden March 2009. And our fun project– Spirit. He was painfully shy and you would have to pull him out from the back of the crate. Through a lot of TLC, he has really come out of his shell and you have a very hard time getting him back into it! He wants to be touching you 24/7.
Gimme a hug!!!
Meet Polo! The other half of Marco, who now lives with his dad Whistlers Hank! Polo is a gentle sweet boy who is ready for his home. He isn’t overly exhuberant and just loves to be near people. He would be fine with other dogs and I’m betting that he would be cat safe.
HUGS for me!!!
Hows the search going for my home MC?
Here is Granny– She is the most adorable girl ever. She is sweeter than sugar and very gentle. She is a total softie and just wants some lovies!
Hi out there!
I am stunning aren't I?
Next— Meet Tango!
He is very sweet and loves to play. He can be a little bit of a bull in a china shop, but he’s not bad at all. He loves to give kissies!
What is that thingy?
I am a sungod

Adopted! Destin to Dream “Jessie”
Update! 2/7/09 – Jessie, now to be known as Dream, moved to her new home with John Read. She will live with another greyhound named Hope. John has already discovered what a snuggle bug Dream is, and he’s very happy with his new baby girl. Thank you, John! Thank you, Denise and Janet – for making sure she was easily transitioned from track life to foster to forever home. XOXOXO
Jessie is in a foster home with Denise, who lives in Tennessee. I just got this note from Denise to help potential adopters know if she might fit in their home:
Jessie loves to play with toys and snuggle with her people. She gets along with all her greyhound housemates, including the cats. She has learned how to sit and lay down for a treat. Her house-training is going very good, with no accidents in the house. She has learned how to go up and down stairs. She walks well on leash.
She would be good for the first time greyhound adopter, or as an addition to a multi-dog home. Jessie hasn’t been tested with children, but because she has a fun personality, she would most likely do very well with children.
Jessie is a happy easy going girl, who knows she’s adorable, and loves attention.
Please contact me at wmlcml6@gmail.com if you have any questions about sweet little Jessie. ~Cathie~

January 2009 – Adoptables Update
Below is a list of the beauties we have available for adoption.
We've got two leaving on 1/13 to go to a group in Atlanta, and if Rebel passes his cat test and "being an only dog" test, he will go to Canada in March.
Please let Cathie know if you have any questions or would like to meet any of these great greyhounds. wmlcml6@gmail.com
Tuffy (long legged lean brindle male - very outgoing and energetic) John (red brindle male with white markings - nice personality) Spirit (shy, smaller brindle boy) Lefty (shy, light fawn male) Boston (shy, currently living in a foster home and progressing very nicely) Rebel (pending cat and alone test – going to Canada in March) Reno (to Atlanta on 1/13/09; needs to be at GAP on Monday) Katie (to Atlanta on 1/13/09; needs to be at GAP on Monday)
We also have the last of "Baby's Babies" available. Jessie (Destin to Dream) is part of a litter of 10 wonderful greyhounds, and is currently in a foster home in Tennesee. She is a small dark brindle girl, housetrained, affectionate, and would love a home of her own. Click here for a video of Baby's Babies, created by Janet Shaffer (who adopted Peanut from this litter).
I will add pictures this weekend. ~Cathie~

Adopted! Nitro Iceman (”Rebel”)
UPDATE: Rebel has been adopted by Paula P. in Canada. He has been vetted, and his chauffer will drive him from Jacksonville to Canada following Sandy Paws!
My name is Nitro Iceman a/k/a Rebel. I am full of energy, love to play, love to get attention from humans, and did I mention I love to play? Come on out to the farm and play fetch with me. You’ll want to take me home!
My silly face:
The humans who take care of me say I’m kind of small, but what I lack in size, I make up for in character. : )

Adopted! Hanks Grady

UPDATE! Cracker is doing great in his foster home and should be adopted soon.
Cracker is moving to Keystone Greyhound Adoption as soon as a hauler can be arranged.
