We always wanted a rescue greyhound when we retired. Well, my husband retired early and I'm not quite retired but its close enough
So, we just got our rescue greyhound. Greyhounds can be mistreated terribly after their racing careers are over (they retire them at around the age of 4). Luckily ours had good owners, and wasnt mistreated but we liked the idea of being able to give a retired racing dog a home.
He's called Kane (his racing name was Rocket Kane), and he's the size of a small horse (ok I'm a shortarse so everyone looks big to me).
People think that because he's a greyhound, we have to run round a racetrack with him at 40 mph every day. Completely the opposite, they are incredibly laid back and lazy. Given the chance he would sleep 23 hours a day.
He's good for us as we make the effort now to get out and walk ! I even walked him in the rain! Yes, messed my hair up and everything. I did buy nice pretty wellies so I looked the part though.
Here's a pic of my lazy baby
