Story
**Meet Lenny – A Fun-Loving Boy with a Heart Full of Happiness** Lenny (racing name **Len Has Zen**) is a handsome black greyhound who will celebrate his **3rd birthday this August**. He enjoyed a successful racing career, but now he's ready to trade the track for a family that will love him for the wonderful companion he is. Young, athletic, and full of personality, Lenny loves life. Whether he's playing with his favorite toys, splashing in the water, or heading out for a walk, he's always ready to have a good time. Despite his playful energy, he walks beautifully on lead and is a pleasure to take out and about. During his assessment, Lenny settled quickly into a new environment. He happily explored the yard with a relaxed sniff around before simply standing with his people, soaking up attention and enjoying plenty of pats. He's a social, affectionate boy who genuinely loves interacting with people and being part of the action. Lenny would be happiest in a home with other greyhounds or larger dogs that can match his playful style. When introduced to small dogs, he was enthusiastic and a little too interested, so he'll need an experienced home willing to continue his training. With time, guidance, and the right match, he has the potential to live successfully with the right small dog. Lenny is a joyful, friendly greyhound with an infectious enthusiasm for life. If you're looking for a young companion who will keep you smiling, enjoy your adventures, and reward you with endless affection, Lenny is ready to make your home his forever home. Could Lenny be the fun-loving best friend you've been waiting for?

Story
Turbo is an active, outgoing Greyhound with a friendly and confident personality. He enjoys playtime and getting involved in what’s happening around him, but once he’s had his fun, he settles well and is quiet and easy to have around. He’s very people‑oriented and would suit a home with children aged 10 and over who can enjoy his playful side while giving him space when he’s resting. Turbo’s mix of energy, friendliness, and calm downtime makes him a great fit for families or individuals looking for a sociable but well‑mannered companion. (Gets along with large dogs and with work, small dog potential)

Story
Bear (racing name Kingsbrae Bear) is a handsome white and blue greyhound who will celebrate his 6th birthday on November 10. With his calm nature, easygoing personality, and gentle spirit, Bear is more interested in enjoying life than racing through it. Wherever Bear goes, he settles in quickly. During his assessment, he adapted easily to a new environment, remained relaxed, and happily took everything in stride. He's the kind of dog who makes himself at home in no time. Bear is a pleasure to walk. He has lovely leash manners, walks calmly by your side, and enjoys exploring without pulling. His laid-back personality makes him an ideal companion for leisurely strolls and relaxed days at home. This sweet boy also has wonderful manners. He showed no signs of resource guarding, even when toys were involved, and demonstrated the calm, trustworthy temperament that makes retired greyhounds such wonderful companions. Bear also met small dogs during his assessment. He was calm and appropriate around them, happily sharing the yard and even chasing a ball alongside a small dog. The only time he became excited was when several small dogs and puppies began splashing and playing in a pool. The sudden movement and excitement briefly caught his attention, but once the activity settled, Bear relaxed right along with it and returned to his easygoing self. Bear is a lovely boy with a kind heart, a relaxed personality, and just enough playful spirit to keep life fun. He's ready to leave his racing days behind and become someone's loyal best friend. If you're looking for a gentle companion who enjoys walks, playtime, and quiet evenings at home, Bear may be the perfect addition to your family."
