Darcy

Tag No: 7058
Registered Name: None
Breed: Whippet Mix
Date of Birth: Approximately December 16, 2019
Color: Red
Cat Trainable: Unknown
Dog Friendly: Would do best as an only dog
Kid Friendly: Not Recommended
Weight: 40 lbs
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Darcy is oh so sweet once she is comfortable, but it takes her some time to trust and adjust. She has made amazing progress with the help of her trainers!!! Darcy came to us from South Korea off a dog meat farm and still bears some of the scars from her previous life. Once she trusts you, she is playful and loves to run - she just makes us smile! She is eager to please and learn. She will need a home with a securely fenced yard and one that has some patience to continue to work with her and continue her training.

Billy: December Dog of the Month

November 30, 2024

12/12/24: It is with much sadness we need to report that Billy passed away this morning unexpectedly. It was determined that he had a very large tumor that caused his passing. Run free sweet Billy - you will be missed by many.

Billy

Tag No: 6963
Registered Name: None
Breed: Greyhound
Date of Birth: July 2019
Color: Red
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Ok with greyhounds
Kid Friendly: No
Weight: 75 lbs
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Billy is a 5-year-old male fawn greyhound who will be a wonderful pet for the right person or family. Billy is friendly, upbeat, and very social-he even greets his best human friends with a goofy, toothy grin! People who know him best say that in addition to a lovely personality, Billy’s best traits are his intelligence and desire to please his person. He has been well trained, and currently knows “sit”, “lay down”, and even how to bow his head! Billy loves puzzle games and his training sessions, and would delight in learning more fun stuff from his new person.

Originally from South Korea, Billy has lived in a home before but was returned. Billy could be an

only pet, or possibly live with other larger, calm dogs. Billy cannot live with cats, small dogs, or other little animals.

Billy is not suited for life in a densely populated situation such as an apartment/condo/townhome, or in a busy urban area. Billy had a very scary encounter in an urban environment with two big aggressive dogs who seemed to come out of nowhere. He still feels he needs to be on guard when it comes to unknown dogs, and his new owner will need to help Billy regain his confidence by avoiding chance encounters with dogs he doesn’t know. That said, Billy continues to love walks and has lovely leash manners. The right home would have a fenced yard located in a suburban or rural area where Billy and you can walk in relatively quiet places without close dog encounters of the scary kind!

Billy is loving, sweet, and will lean affectionately on his friends but he is not a “hugger.” Because he has a sensitive neck Billy would be best in an adult-only home.

Kim: October Dog of the Month

October 1, 2024

Please contact Greyhound Pets, Inc. Woodinville ([email protected]) for more information about Kim.

Kim

Tag No: 7011
Registered Name: None
Breed: Saluki Mix
Date of Birth: December 2021
Color: Tan/Black
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Ok with greyhounds
Kid Friendly: See Comments
Weight: 40 pounds
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Kim is fun, friendly and very sweet. She loves to play ball! She is so eager to please. Kim loves car rides and is a dream in a car - just lies down and curls up. Kim had been very sensitive to noises and new things, but (thanks to the folks in California) has been through a 6 week board and train program and knows a lot of commands and has adapted well to new things and sounds. While she loves to run and play, she also loves to snuggle and hang with you. We are working on her leash manners and greeting of strangers, and they are improving. We think she would do fine as an only dog and may even do ok in an apartment as long as she is given some run time in a secure area. If she gets really excited she can get a little nippy, so she may not do well with young children. But it is easy to distract her and remind her of her manners. She came to us from Mexico, via California.
