Meet JENNY (Prison Trained Greyhound)
Call Name: Jenny
Birth Date: September 14, 2014
Color: White and Black
Pedigree: (Moes Tavern--Shanless Carol))
PRISON TRAINED GREYHOUND
Jenny arrived from Ireland and is a lovely, very relaxed and easy girl, not jumpy at all and very laid back and easy to handle She also loves children and is a sweet, loving, and gentle girl. She is a smaller greyhound at 63 lbs. and would be perfect for a family that wants a greyhound to love but also wants to help a senior greyhound. Jenny competed in 67 races in Ireland and won 10 times, so she had a successful racing career. She also had 2 litters of pups. Jenny is not good with cats, and would do best as an only dog. She just loves people and will stand next to you for some attention. This sweet and gentle girl has been busy her whole life either racing or raising puppies, so she deserves a good forever home with a family that loves her. She is an easy and sweet dog to love.
Jenny just graduated from the Greyhound Advancement Center's training program at Hardee Correctional Institution. While at Hardee, she was taught all of her basic commands such as sit and lie down on command, come on recall wait at the door, leave it, go to place (her bed or mat), stay, wait, heel, and a few other commands which their inmate trainer will choose. The greyhounds love being at the prison where they get lots of attention and love, and also lots of treats. The inmate trainers have something important to do while they are incarcerated, and earn certifications as dog trainers which they can then use to help them gain employment when they are released. (The training program is in the work camp, so all of the inmates will eventually be released.) The inmates especially love the greyhounds for their quiet and gentle natures and excellent dispositions. You will get a well trained and well socialized dog, and the inmates have the dogs for company. It is a wonderful program for the dogs and the inmate trainers alike.
Jenny's adoption fee will be $250, including the prison training. The adoption fee includes her transportation from Ireland to this country, her spay, dental, vaccines, Bordetella (to protect against kennel cough), microchip, leash and collar, adoption guide, and 10 weeks of specialized training at the prison. Your adoption fee helps us to defray some of the shipping, veterinary and care costs we will incur for Jenny, and will help us to continue our work on behalf of the greyhounds.
