Penny's Story

Penny is a gorgeous black female lurcher who is around 3 years old. Lurchers are also known as field trial greyhounds, and are a mix of greyhound and another hound dog, such as a coonhound. Penny is healthy, happy, and hopeful that she will find find a Home For The Holidays! She weighs just under 60 lbs, and is extremely sweet. And her paws all have white speckles, which is so cute! <br/><br/>Because she previously lived outdoors, Penny is still afraid of the slick kennel floors. She is just learning them, and we anticipate she will adjust! Like Bo and JJ, Penny came from a home where her owner was unable to continue to care for the three dogs, especially during the cold winter, so he did the best thing and surrendered them so they could find a safe and warm forever home! We are excited to help Penny and her friends find their adopters!<br/><br/>* * * * *<br/><br/>Adopters must meet the following requirements:<br/>- Live in Indiana (Western Ohio, Northern Kentucky, Eastern Illinois, or Nashville, TN may be eligible depending on location and volunteer availability to conduct a home visit)<br/>- Primary applicant(s) at least 25 years old<br/>- Live in a home (no dorms, apartments, etc. - sorry!)<br/>- Fenced yard (no invisible fences)<br/>- Willingness to keep dog on a leash whenever not in a fenced yard<br/><br/><br/>We look forward to working with you to find your new best friend!

Next, an online application should be completed on our website. Our board will review your initial application, and if we believe you would be a good match for a greyhound or lurcher, we will reach out to request that you submit the $25 application fee. Please do not submit the application fee until it is requested, as we cannot refund this fee, and we do not want to disappoint anyone. After the application has been reviewed and fee paid, an adoption coordinator will reach out to conduct a phone call and review some basics of greyhound/lurcher care as well as answer any questions you may have. A home visit will be conducted, and we will work together with your family to determine if the dog you're interested in is the right fit for your household or if another dog might be best. After adoption, your adoption coordinator will check in with you to ensure your dog is acclimating to the change. If you have any challenges, we are happy to help provide advice!
