What a sweet dog. She needed you to be available.
We were turned down by a greyhound rescue group because we wouldn't agree to never allowing her outside unless on a leash or in a fenced yard because "greyhounds are a sight hound and they will just keep running and not stop when they are on a hunt".
We explained we have fenced yards of 1/4 and 1/2 acre for the dogs but they don't have to stay penned up when we are out and about with them. And we explained that our farm is 240 acres, 1/2 x 3/4 mile, there is room for them to run and get them selves stopped.
No we don't understand when someone tells us a breed is untrainable.We give dogs more credit than that.
They told us we just don't understand the greyhounds and how fast they are.
We think we missed out on a good fur kid and the dog missed out on a loving home. I hope all their dogs got placed.
