Brianna does well with both cats and small dogs, so we feel that this deserving 5 year old girl will quickly find her very own family. Meanwhile, please check out her blog.

PENDING
Kojac
At age 10, Kojac should be peacefully curled up on his own bed and thoroughly spoiled by a family that loves him. Instead, through no fault of his own, Kojac is in search of a new home. He came from Pensacola in 2004. He was adopted soon after coming to Nashville, and has been in a loving home until circumstances forced his return. Kojac is settling well into his foster home, sleeps quietly, has very good house manne, and does well with kitties. He's really enjoying the companionship of other greyhounds.

Rock

This hounds was an exceptional A/AA/stakes racer in his 2 1/2 years of racing at Southland. He ran 115 races before a fall ended his career in December 2008. Rock will be a very good companion for a family with kids and other dogs, but he's not to be trusted with kitties. He's been waiting too long to find his very own family, and we just know there's a sofa out there with his name on it!

Meanwhile, please check out his blog.

Specs
Specs came from Birmingham on 5/18. He has been in a home about a month and is back in our program through no fault of his own. His registered name is Filigree, but he picked up the call name Specs.

Specs is a little timid at first but warms up quickly. He has had no accidents in the house and is crated during the day. He does not seem to like being an only dog.
