Ardwick
Ardwick came to the Greyhound Adoption Center on April 16, 2010, along with five other dogs. They came from the Phoenix area following the closing of the racetrack there. Ardwick turns 10 in August of 2010. Evidently she was used for breeding after her racing career, during which she was in nearly 150 races. She is a calm girl and appears to be a bit worn, although she has plenty of spunk if she needs to tell the younger greyhounds to behave. |

Hockey
UPDATE: Hockey was adopted on July 19th! A new sponsor dog will take his place soon. Please choose one of our other dogs, or let us choose for you, in the meantime.
Hockey arrived at Greyhound Adoption Center on February 28th with nine other greyhounds we named with a "Canada" theme in honor of the Winter Olympics host country. He is a little more than five years old, and he came to us positive for heartworm. This meant Hockey has been with us for a longer time while he underwent treatment for his illness. Hockey does indeed bounce around like a hockey puck, but then settles very nicely. He can be a little vocal, too, but only because he wants attention from our loving volunteers. Now, he has completed his heartworm treatment and is ready for a home!

Penelope
Penelope came to Greyhound Adoption Center on May 1st from the Caliente racetrack, along with six other greyhounds. She turns four years old in July. Penelope had a badly broken leg, but needed to wait for surgery to help correct it, as her blood platelets were too low for surgery. Finally, she had her surgery, and her splint is off her leg. She gets to go out with other greyhounds and get lots of attention. She's ready for a home.

Wembley
Wembley came to the Greyhound Adoption Center on July 10th from Arizona. He just turned one year old in July! He was known as the "polar bear" pup. He never raced because of a hip problem. He's a real sweetie, a tiny bit shy, and is adjusting to our adoption center with all our volunteers. |
