Special Needs Dogs

kermitsm.jpg (7993 bytes)

Kermit is an absolute love once he knows you! He is very affectionate and a lot of fun. He loves to run, chase balls and play with toys. Kermit is more intelligent than the average greyhound. Kermit knows quite a few commands and is eager to do anything for a treat. Kermit however has some quirks.   For more info on Kermit, see our Special Needs Dogs page.

Forever Fosters?

Sponsor Allie

Allie is a gorgeous girl with the most engaging amber eyes. Due to her assertive behavior with many people she needs a firm but gentle hand from a very experienced greyhound person.

Both Kermit and Allie will most likely be in our system for awhile.  You can help to offset our expenses by sponsoring either one of them.  Thank you!
