Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Josh is a very sweet 4 year old boy who loves getting pets, giving kisses, and leaning in for a good cuddle! He's a smart and food motivated who has already learned to shake and is eager to learn other tricks. After a walk or after getting up from a nap, he likes to play a bit fetch with a stuffed animal and be a bit of a goofball. He has liked having another greyhound around to show him the ropes and has loved meeting other people and a few other dogs as well! He walks well on leash, has mastered the stairs, and while interested in smaller dogs and animals, has not tried to chase anything. He can get slightly overwhelmed by new environments, but after getting comfortable, he's excited to explore. He seems to be cat workable. Josh is a slightly goofy, very lovable boy who will make a great addition to a new family!

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.
