My story

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

Hello!
My name is Diva, I am 10 months old, and I weigh approx. 28lbs.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I was flown a distance from my homeland in Portugal, to have a better chance of adoption here in the US. To be honest, the language around here is kind of weird, but I’m getting used to the weird words, like “sit”. I’m always very excited to meet anyone, I love playing wit other dogs during playtime and for sure would be great company for long walks.
Like any puppy, I still need some basic manners, but aim to please! Be careful though, I’m quick and could steal that yummy treat out of your hand in a blink of an eye. I could grow up to be a wonderful family dog, that will love you forever. Please take a moment to think about adopting me!

Diva would do well in a home, and possibly in an apartment setting under the right circumstances. She would have no problem adjusting to a busy and active lifestyle.

* Fast Friends adopts in the New England area. If you are interested in Diva or one of our other available dogs, please complete an adoption application at www.helpinggreyhounds.org/adopt

More about this rescue

Fast Friends is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to educating the public about Greyhounds and sighthounds from around the world with the primary goal of finding responsible, loving homes for them. Fast Friends envisions a world where no Greyhound or sighthound lacks for a loving home and these breeds are valued and celebrated for their uniqueness.

Fast Friends works closely with both international and domestic partners to bring retired racing Greyhounds and other sighthounds in need from countries where they have almost no chance of a local adoption to its facility in Swanzey, New Hampshire. Each dog receives high quality care with a focus on one-on-one staff time and individualized plans to help them overcome any neglect or trauma they have experienced so that they can be successful in a home. We are dedicated to taking in dogs with the most challenging circumstances.
