Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tommy's Legacy (we call him Tommy) is a gentle, very sweet boy. He loves people, and manages to make everyone love him. Tommy also gets along well with our greyhound Goldie, as well as many of the other dogs he has met on our walks. He has a playful side and loves his toys. He will throw them into the air and chase them, completely entertaining himself and making us laugh. He also gets very excited for his walks, and does beautifully on a leash. Tommy goes for long walks in the woods and is very curious with the many scents and sights. He does not seem overly interested in the small critters, so does not pull aggressively on leash. He also sleeps all night in his crate without a peep. Tommy is the BEST boy and everyone that meets him (we are a greyhound family) either wants to keep him, and all agree he is going to make someone very happy. He listens well and really does his best to please.

More about this rescue
Greyhound Options, Inc. was formed in 1995 by a small group of volunteers devoted to finding loving homes for retired racing greyhounds. We adopt out to all of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Southern New Hampshire. We do not operate a kennel, but choose to provide these dogs the stability, care and comfort only possible through a foster home network. Fostering also enables us to truly evaluate the temperament and behavior of each dog in our care, so we can best match adopter with dog. In 2008 we passed the wonderful milestone of placing our 1000th greyhound! As a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, all expenses are covered through donations, and volunteers are always needed. Please contact us if you would like to make a donation of any kind.
