The Need For Speed

Meet Speed, she is a pretty, two year old, sixty-two pound, Brindle, Greyhound, that had her assessment this morning. Due to the fact that, Speed, although large and fast, is a bit of a "couch potato", we had her try out the Medium Roll Play Area lol. Once therein, Speed sniffed around a bit, then graciously met with the other canines. We were told that Speed would most likely play in short bursts and then just lounge around... That's pretty much what she did. We didn't see too much play out of her, however, she seemed interested. She especially perked up, when her outside-The Fort-dog friend, and Fort Fido regular, Sophie, showed up. As the morning progressed and the Medium Roll's pack grew in size, Speed, continued to act cool, calm, and collected. She is a very sweet dog that is welcome here anytime. We hope to see her get into some more "play-action" in future visits. Good job today Speed, you gorgeous creature you!

Take care,

-Grant

Tron: the legacy continues!

 

 

Today we got to meet Tron the Greyhound. He was born and bred to race. Luckily enough he was rescued into a great home and he now lives the leisurely life as a lovable pet, and at 3 and 1/2 yrs old, he is a seasoned doggie daycare attendee. Not too quick to jump into play, he nosed around the large roll speaking good dog and really took a shining to Gage the boxer.

Generally Greyhounds are very quiet. However if they are unhappy, they will announce it by howling. Multi-Greyhound homes are sometimes serenaded by a group chorus, or 'rooing' just for the sheer joy of it.

 

Fun Fact about Greyhounds! They tend to sleep with their eyes wide open!!

- Cutie-pie Chloe -

Welcome Chloe, she had her assessment today. Chloe is a ten month old, nine pound, Cavachon. She is a darn cute little pup that wasn't too sure what to think of the little pack and was a bit shy. We think her curiosity and playful spirit will bring out the best of her in time. As she gets more comfortable with the other dogs she should truly thrive.

Chloe's owners are excited and eager to learn new ways to better their pet, we really respect that, very cool! She is well on her way to becoming a well balanced member of the Fort Fido pack. Nice job Chloe!

Cheers,

-Grant
P.S. Louis's ma, Sandy, told me about this wonderful adoption event that is coming up later this month. If only I had the room for one of those speedy guys. Sandy used to have a rescue Greyhound named Grant, haha, funny!
