...my home any adivce?

Awesome!!!! Congrats, like one has already said, they are not use to all the normal in house sounds such as the phone, t.v., and so on.. Nor windows!! So you will have to take the dog around the home and tap to let them no there is a window there, ur greyhound group will tell you all of this.. You will not have to worry about crate training them, they spend half there life in a crate and that's about all they know, crate, track, run, back to crate..... Hopefully you have a nicely fenced yard, and have time to walk and run ur dog... The agency will definitely want a fenced yard.. So they have somewhere to burn off some of there energy. But all in all they are very loving and loyal, they make wonderful pets. I know many people in my area that have greyhounds, and they wouldn't give them up for the world. Good luck, and i applaud you for opening up ur home to a unwanted dog, that wasn't good enough to be needed anymore for monetary value, but is needed and wanted for a happy family member!!

I don't own one, but a friend of mine has a rescued greyhound - they're sweet, beautiful dogs.From what's she's told me about the adoption of her dog, just be yourself and answer their questions honestly. They want to find homes for these dogs, and want the best possible match for both you and the dog you may adopt. Because of their early life, some of these dogs don't adapt easily to children or other pets, while others have no trouble at all.Their main concerns will be for the welfare of the dog - especially when it comes to exercise. As a potential owner, you should be aware that they couch potatoes for most of the day - except for about 45 minutes when they have their urge to run. For excercise, they need to be walked on a leash or allowed to run free - as in a dog park or fenced yard. Tie-out chains won't work - they can get a good bit of speed by the time they reach the end of a 12-25 foot chain and snap their necks. They'll also ask about children and other members of the household, ages, activity level, primary person(s) responsible for care, types and number of other pets in the home, gender and activity level of dog you're looking for, etc. You'll probably get to meet 3-6 different dogs that fit the general profile of the personality and gender you're looking for, so you'll be able to choose from more than just one.Good luck!EDIT: from what my friend has told me. dogs are placed in foster care prior to being adopted out - this is so they can become used to living in a home, learn basic obedience commands, and learn their personalities (if they get along with children, pets) before they are offered for adoption - although this might vary with location and adoption organization.

If you've owned a pet before they will check with your vet to find out if you kept your pet up to date with vaccinations and treated the animal if it was sick. They will also check references and do a home visit to make sure that your home is adequate, believe it or not. They are wanting to find a good home for the dog so it doesn't end up back in a rescue, so they can be pretty thorough.Good luck with your new best friend.

I heard they are great dogs , keep it if you get one .
