Ray's Story

Ray is an adoptable galgo who is six years old, and this sweetheart can’t wait to meet his adoptive family! Ray came to American Greyhound from Scooby Medina shelter in Spain on May 8.<br/><br/>Ray has come a long way in learning to trust his people. He often seeks out attention from his foster family. When someone new enters the house, Ray goes on alert. He is still wary of interacting with strangers when in his home, which is his safe space. He will keep a close eye on those he does not yet know. However, when on a leash, he is much more willing to accept pets from strangers!<br/><br/>Ray is a big fan of running around with the other sighthounds in the pack at his foster home, and has even been known to offer a play bow or two in response to an invitation to play. When not out in the yard playing, a comfy bed in an open crate or the couch is definitely Ray’s happy place.<br/><br/>Ray is a dream on a leash when going for walks. If he gets startled, he will try to bolt, so his adopters should know to hold on tight! Otherwise, he is calm and easy to handle when out and about.<br/><br/>This sweet boy has not had any time completely alone as an only dog, since his foster home is full of doggie friends, but he has spent time kenneled while the humans are out of the house. He handles this well.<br/><br/>Ray would love an adopter who will feed him treats, take him for car rides, and provide plenty of ear scritches. He is especially fond of tasty snacks he can graze from your plate.<br/><br/>He would do best in a quieter home with no kids, at least one confident dog friend, and no cats or small critters. His future adopters will get to see even more of his true personality come out as he settles in, but they should be ready to exercise patience. While Ray enjoys affection, he also likes his own space and prefers to seek out human interaction on his own time. After all he and the other galgos have endured, who could blame him for being cautious?<br/><br/>If you think your home might be a great match for Ray, please reach out!<br/>We primarily adopt across the Midwest, including Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri, and surrounding states. Submit your adoption application today!<br/><br/>* * * * *<br/><br/>All of our available dogs are currently residing in foster homes, which means we gradually learn more about them the longer they are with us. We try to update profiles as we learn new information, but if you have questions about a specific dog, please ask!<br/><br/>Adoption fees include a routine vet exam/testing, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and dental (if needed), as well as a safety harness, martingale collar, and matching leash. Adoption costs help to pay for transportation and other expenses as well.<br/><br/>* * * * *<br/><br/>Not ready to adopt just yet? New foster families are always welcome and very much needed!

American Greyhound's Adoption Policy
There are so many hounds in need of loving homes, and we are excited that you are considering adopting one of these great dogs! We look forward to helping you find the best dog for your family. To get started, please review the adoption resources on our website and then visit our adoption application page to submit your information. * * * * * Adoption Information We primarily adopt across the Midwest, including Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Missouri. In special cases, transportation can be arranged outside of our usual area. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, dental (if needed), vaccinations, and routine exam/testing. All dogs also come with a martingale collar, safety harness, and leash. Because every dog is living in a foster home, we gradually learn more about them the longer they are with us. They have new experiences, like meeting big or small dogs, living with additional pets, or spending time with children. They also begin to acclimate to living in a home, including learning house manners and developing a routine. We try to update profiles as we learn new information, but if you have questions about a specific dog, please ask! * * * * * Application Process Your application will be delivered to our volunteer Adoption Coordinators, who will typically contact you within a few days. Your adoption coordinator will set up a time to speak with you about your interest in adopting a sighthound and discuss which dogs may be a good match. We'll also contact your references. When determining if a dog would be a good fit, we help you take into consideration factors like other pets, children in the home, household activity level, and more. Our goal is to find a match that is ideal not just for you and your family, but for the dog as well. We will help coordinate the pick-up/drop-off of your new family member with you and the hound’s foster family or one of our transport volunteers. Your adoption coordinator will also let you know when the adoption fee should be paid. Adoption fees vary by hound and can be found on each dog’s individual profile. * * * * * “Cat-Tolerable” Hounds Due to the importance of finding a safe match for homes with feline residents, we ask for your understanding in giving priority to those with cats living in the home when “cat-tolerant” hounds are available. Potential adopters who do not have cats should choose from the “not cat-tolerant” hounds whenever possible, so that households with cats are able to adopt hounds, too. (For more information on cat introductions and sighthounds’ compatibility with cats, please visit our website.) Please be aware that even if a dog is "cat-safe", they may not get along with a specific cat, so we advise slow and careful introductions for every dog. * * * * * Return Policy If a particular hound is not working out in your home for any reason, such as conflicts with other pets, children, etc., American Greyhound will always take the dog back and will find another home that is a better match. Remember that every hound has been welcomed into the hearts and home of his or her foster family once already, and our volunteers will gladly welcome them again. Please note, it is required that any dog adopted from American Greyhound be returned to our organization if they cannot stay in their adoptive home, regardless of the reason for return. * * * * * We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!
