Foxy Roxy, spunky, happy and perfect


Adopt a senior month is winding down and what a month we have had.

Three of our senior girls found forever homes and their families couldn't be happier.

Roxy tells the story we hear over and over again. Senior greyhounds adapt easy, they're loving and well, they are just perfect.

We still have five ladies waiting. Give us a call or send us an e-mail, it will be one of the best decisions you ever made.


In November we lost Edie 8 to a stroke and Phoebe 14 to cancer. We were devastated to lose our ladies but weren't really look to adopt again for awhile. And then, Roxy showed up on the Oregon Greyhound website.

One look at her cute little overbite and we knew she was ours. Roxy came home January 8, 2006, just a few months past her 9th birthday.

She walked in the house, looked around, rolled over on her back and knew she was forever home. Talk about an easy dog to adapt. Roxy has never given us any problems. She's had a couple of dentals and has a slight heart murmer, but even it has not changed in three years.

Roxy has 75 races under her belt and upon retiring entered her second career having 15 beautiful babies.


Roxy has always been a very social greyhound and immediately joined the Red Hot Houndies and is a card carrying member in the Double-Digit Gang.


Roxy is always the happiest with her family, but second best is the fenced acre where she can roam and sniff the air for hours.


Roxy has been a complete delight. She loves to go for car rides and is actually quite a little trooper when it comes to a nice long hike in the woods. She keeps right up with us and never shows any hesitation.


Roxy will be 13 in September, but she's spunky and happy and well, Roxy is absolutely perfect.
