Becks is an energetic and affectionate four-year-old female from England. She has good leash manners and loves all the sights and smells of her neighborhood walks. Becks will benefit from having a fenced yard to explore and go to the bathroom, as she is still learning to do her business while on a leash. She loves meeting people, other greyhounds, and most other easygoing medium to large dogs. Becks is getting the hang of introducing herself to other dogs, but sometimes comes on a little bit strong with her vigorous sniffing and eagerness to play, so on-leash introductions and supervised play are warranted when she makes new canine acquaintances. With regular exercise, she will gladly keep hitting the snooze button and sleep the day away in your home. Becks is such a good girl and will keep getting better with your love and attention!

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.
