    Unfortunately, Minnie has been returned to our group through no fault of her own.  Her family had to move across several states and could not take her with them.  Minnie, her previous family called her Molly, is returning to her previous foster home.  This amazingly beautiful girl deserves to find her forever home.  She would bring a lot of joy hand happiness to your family.

Here is what my Foster Mom had to say about me. 

March 2014,

     Minnie is a very sweet, submissive greyhound that gets along with males and females alike. She is very fun loving and enjoys running laps in the backyard and playing chase with her foster siblings. She loves to roach and have her belly scratch, and she also loves to be in the same room as you. If you leave a room or go somewhere she doesn't follow, she will lay down and wait for you to return. 

     She crates well, loves to eat, and has never had an accident in the house. She knows how to go up and down stairs, and she is well behaved in the car. She does not get up on the furniture and she is not cat safe. Minnie loves to play but does not seem to enjoy going on walks (we are working with her on this). She has a tendency to "freeze" and refuses to continue the walk. During the Smyrna Christmas Parade, Minnie walked about mile, but preferred to ride in the back of the truck for the rest of the parade. 

     Overall, she is a very sweet and loving greyhound waiting for her forever home. She has a lot of love to offer anyone who adopts her.

Foster Mom,

Lisa

Dottie is doing wonderful. She has settled in nicely here with her temporary brother and sister, and even does well with the two mean cats she is living with. She loves to lay in the bed and snuggle right up next to her humans and fellow hounds. She does not seem to have any space issues whatsoever. She loves to play with stuffies and runs through the house full speed with them. 

She also loves to run around the backyard and will do it by herself if the others don't want to participate. She is a very happy dog and is always just looking at you wagging her tail. She adores attention and will fall asleep next to you while you are petting her. Oh and like most, she of course loves her treats!

Vixen is settling in well.  Last night I took her out on leash in the front of the house so that to go potty.  She’s a little skittish whenever a car passes but did well otherwise.  She decided the 3 stairs out front were too much of a bother and jumped off the front porch going out and jumped back up coming in.  The next day she mastered the stairs on her own. 
  
    Vixen spent the night exploring and checking out her new home, and she’s getting along well with our two greyhounds.  Our cats told her in no uncertain terms to “back off” and she let them be, but other than that she shows no interest in the cats.  
     
     She seems to be happy.  She’s a tail wagger.  Contact AAH if you are interested in the sweet beautiful girl.

Dash is a happy 2 year old "tuxedo" boy, even though he is straight off the track.  He has adjusted to retirement like a champ.  Dash has already discovered stuffies, mastered the stairs, and has no problems walking on floors.  He loves playing in the backyard and running with his foster sister, Leah.  So far he crates perfectly.

Heart wants you to check out her movie and her new toy.

            Heart (renamed Juno), is an exceptionally sweet and affectionate little girl, and the easiest dog we’ve ever worked with (EVER!). Juno is in her prime at the age of three and is recovering beautifully from a broken hock on her hind left leg. Don’t let it fool you, she has kept up with us easily on her three good legs, and she’s using her 4^th more and more each day. She loves her crate, and goes in to snooze throughout the day, even when we don’t ask her to. Juno is very quiet and never barks unless she just can’t hold it anymore or some dog gets too pushy around her face. She’s very much a people person, and will go up to anyone to ask for a nice scratch (a real crowd pleaser); be prepared for all of the compliments you’ll receive on her super soft and beautiful red brindle coat. She loves squeaky toys and likes to walk around the home squeaking them in her mouth. Juno is great with stairs, though she’ll get annoyed if you ask her to climb too many floors at time. She loads easily into cars, but if you have a taller car, you may have to help her up until her hind leg fully heals. She falls right asleep during drives.  

            Juno has some unique quirks that makes her that much more special. She has the softest little Mohawk running down her neck (trust me, she pulls it off better than any person), and she can also play fetch. She’ll go racing after tennis balls and drop them at your feet. She has never lunged on the leash, and is quite happy to stick next to your side, though her ears will perk up at the occasional squirrel or rabbit. Juno has never come close to having an accident in the house, nor has she counter-surfed, gotten on furniture, or displayed any type of aggression or fear towards humans (including around food, treats, and while sleeping). A few spoonfuls of greek yogurt as a treat has kept away any gas attacks she might have. She’s great about her maintenance too: easy to brush her coat and teeth, trim her nails, clean her ears etc. She takes it all in stride and will probably fall asleep half way through.

            Juno is currently the only animal in our home, and she has no anxiety or problems being left alone. She shows very little interest in interacting with other animals, big or small, preferring to be with her humans, but she does meet the occasional dogs on walks, she is very polite. She’ll make a wonderful addition to any family or lifestyle. Please feel free to contact us with any questions!

Hi, my name is Niki. I am a happy little greyhound that loves stuffies and I try my best to kill the funny noises they make.  I am all diva and love my humans and require them to pay attention to me.  If they don’t comply I may have to take drastic measures by adding a nudge with my needle nose reminding them “HEY, I am here!”. If the nudge doesn’t work I have to groom them by giving them a face full of kisses. I am a true snuggle bunny and will invade your bed and couch and expect a petting while I fall asleep.

Loud noises scare me a lot. Just last week there was a lot of light flashes and loud drum like sounds that really scared me. Thank goodness my foster mommy was there to hold me, but I think she was as scared as me.

I live with this little Chihuahua named Minime. She is a bit crabby, so I listen when she says get outta my face!!  She seems to be the leader here so I never raise my voice to her.

There is also this fluffy grey and white thing that has me curious. The humans call it a cat. I watch this fluffy creature closely but have no interest in it.

I am waiting on my forever home so I can share my kisses and love. Will you share your heart, couch, bed , and whatever else I may desire from you? I did say I was a diva right?

I hope to see you soon,

Niki

Mitzi is a little shy but very sweet.  She does love to be with her humans and loves to be petted.  She walks good on a leash, but she is easily distracted by all the bunnies we see. She does a good job with crating.
She has started to play a little and loves to have her ears scratched and belly rubbed!!!

Meet AHK Ferrari

                                 Adopted

 Gender: Female
DOB: 5.8.09
Weight: 57 lbs.
Small Pet Safe: Yes
Color: Brindle


 Ferrari was returned to us though no fault of her own.  She was adopted to a military family who is now being transferred to Japan, and can not take her with them.  Ferrari was loved and adored by her family, so this surrender has been hard all around.

She does not get up on the furniture and has shown no interest in that at this point. She seems to like hanging out in her crate. Sometimes she will jut go in it and lay down choosing it instead of the other beds. Outside, she chases her toys and loves to run around the yard. When we let her out the other dogs we muzzle her, again just to be cautious. She has been very sweet and loving here, she eats well, crates well, and she wags her tail a lot.

She is a sweet girl who loves to play & tries to get her foster sisters and brothers to play with  her. She is an alpha female and that needs to be considered when adding an alpha to homes with other dogs and pets.  Contact AAH if you are interested in this beauty!

Foster Mom,
Lisa

Slippy is doing great. She loves stuffies and running and playing in the backyard. She loves everyone and everything she meets.  She is a gorgeous gal with an amazing personality!

Slippy Update

March 20, 2014

Due to happy tail Slippy maintained a minor injury to her tail, and it is almost healed (and hopefully it will stay healed). She really loves attention and gets so excited that she may sometimes jump bc she just can't contain the springs in her legs. Getting better though, we are working on that. She loves going on walks, and would make a great walking companion :)

Foster Mom,

Whitney

Meet Major

Racing Name: UMR Major Bill

Welcome to My Blog- "May Re post"

Adopted

Here is what my foster family had to say about me. 

Major is doing great! He is such a loving boy and loves as much human attention as he can get. Major has a ton of energy and loves to go. He loves to ride in the car, go to the dog park or take a walk. As soon as you go to get a leash, Major is excited and ready to go. We have been working on his leash walking, he is doing much better with the pulling. He is just so excited about the next new thing he is going to see on the walk, that he wants to go, go, go. He gets along so well with our other three greys as well as our cat. He listens well. A "no" is all he needs to stop whatever he is doing. 

He takes his stuffed monkey to bed every night. As soon as I say "bed", the other three dogs head to the bedroom. Major has to go to the toy box, or wherever he has put his monkey, and grab him to take to his bed. He puts his monkey on his bed, circles it twice and then lays down with his monkey resting between his legs. He's a sweetheart!

Meet Noah

Racing Name: W.W.'s Bring it On - "Noah"

Welcome to My Blog

Available- Medical Hold

Stay tuned for my personal video.

 Gender: Male

DOB: 1.4.12

Weight: 71 lbs.

Small Pet Safe: Workable

Color: Red Fawn

A Note From My Foster Parents,

        If you watched Noah's video you will see the trials he has been through these past couple of months.  Noah's body is healed from his injury. but his foster family continues to work on his anxiety.
        Noah came to us just shy of his 2nd birthday.  In the greyhound rescue world he is considered young.  He had some adjusting issues, but we are working on those.  He has come a long way these past couple of months.  He is a sweet boy who
enjoys his human's affections.
       Noah suffers from separation anxiety, he is currently medicated,  so would do best in a home where someone is home more than they are gone. Noah seems to be the "rare" alpha male greyhound so will need someone who is experienced with dogs, particularly greyhounds. Noah will need to be in a home with no small children or small animals and would probably be best as the only dog.  At this time Noah is still on medical hold.

Noah is in Need of Help

All Posts are in Chronological Order:

Initial Post----April 13, 2014                     

Foster Noah is in need of your help. Please read his story below and follow the links for a donations.

Noah is 2 year old greyhound currently in our foster program. He was injured Saturday, April 5th while experiencing separation anxiety. Those of us who have dealt with this issue know, greyhounds are masters of hurting themselves in some of the most benign situations you could come up with. He was rushed to our group's veterinarian at Southern Vet. He was then transferred to Nashville Vet Specialists, where he had surgery for a bad cut on his shoulder. This cut went into Noah's muscle. He is now recovering. He has a bit of a journey ahead of him, but we are doing everything we can to help him on that journey.

Currently Noah must go to the veterinarian's office every day to have his bandage changed and to debrided the dead tissue every other day or as needed. With the pain and the severity of Noah's fear at this time he is being medicated so the veterinarian can help him. We will eventually be able to taper off to every other day for the vet. visits. These visits will cost $150 every visit. Noah may also have to have a second surgery for a skin graft.

All About Hounds would appreciate your help with Noah's veterinary bills. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
All About Hounds Members

Update: May 3rd

Update on Noah

On Monday Noah went back to the vet. He pulled a staple and Southern Vet. did re-close the wound. It wasn't bad, but we need to make sure that it stays completely closed. His wound was completely closed last week. 

With his peanut butter snack he is a good boy and let His foster family change his bandages. . He continues to wear a muzzle and a protective collar, the "lamp shade", when he isn't under very strict supervision. He is obsessed with trying to lick his wound. 

As long as his wound continues to stay closed and we keep progressing as we are he will get his staples removed in around 10 days. 

Photos:
1. Noah in a peanut butter coma. His foster family uses peanut butter as his incentive & reward for changing his bandages.

2. Super spoiled & ready for bed. . The shirt also adds a barer between he and the bandages.

June 3rd Update: 

Noah continues to heal and thrive under his AMAZING foster family & our resident dog whisperers.   They are continuing his loving care, bandage changes, taking him to the vet for appointments, etc.  Our words can not express our appreciation enough. 

     You can see that his wound has finally closed up.  It is still sensitive and we need to continue to wrap it.  The veterinarians at Southern Vet. have done an amazing job with Noah.  You can see in the photo below that we finally have closed the wound. :)  

We are still accepting donations on behalf of Noah's veterinary bills.
