Introducing AAH's New Program with a Nashville Prison

Blog Date:  September 28th

All About Hounds is proud to announce our participation in a new program to help the hounds; the Prison Program.  We have been invited by our friends at Music City Greyhound Adoption to join them in placing Greyhounds in a local prison for a period for approximately twelve weeks.  The dogs are worked with daily by carefully selected inmates who prepare them for their forever homes.  The hounds also receive formal training from a professional trainer once a week for 6 weeks.  This class teaches them basic obedience.  This program is well established and until recently was run by the Greyhound Rescue Foundation of Tennessee.  They graciously asked if Music City Greyhound Adoption would like to take over the program and in turn Music City asked if we would partner with them.

These programs have existed for years in the Greyhound community, and have been proven time and time again to work for the hounds, for the inmates, for the community, and for the adoption group!  We placed two beautiful hounds in the prison program on Saturday, August 1^st.  These hounds along with three beauties from Music City Greyhound Adoption will graduate in October, and then they will be ready for their forever homes. 

This is an exciting opportunity for All About Hounds and we look forward to working with Music City Greyhound Adoption and Corrections Corporation of America to FIND HOMES FOR THESE HOUNDS!!!!!!

Updated June 12, 2015  

Ryan wants to be loved!!  He has personally taken out and played with every one of the toys in the bin!  He is so sweet and playful and obviously still has a lot of puppy in him.  He literally zoomed around in circles in my bedroom this morning!
He is not bugging the cats anymore (thanks Manbug), but is full of joy and is a very good boy and a sweet heart, and I think he will settle in just fine.  It will take a little more time and learning but he is learning to trust me and settle in.  

Update April 18, 2015

Hi there! I’m Rams Rippin’ Ryan, but you can just call me Ryan. I’m currently staying with a great foster family and having a great time adjusting to life at home. I’m really well behaved especially around the children that live in my foster home. I would have to say my favorite hobby is napping, but I also really enjoy time outside. I love walks and do considerably well walking with a leash, even beside a stroller! I just love wandering around local greenways and sniffing out different flowers and grass.
Another thing I get really excited about is rides in the car. This usually means I’m going to explore a new park but I love to come along on short rides to get errands done too. Most importantly, I adore attention from anyone and everyone I come in contact with. You can pet and cuddle on me all day long, really. I may look large and in charge but I’m a huge baby on the inside. Please consider being my forever family, I would love to meet you!

Meet Fletch

Racing Name: D.V.'s Gold Shadow

Welcome to My Blog

July 12, 2015

D.V.'s Gold Shadow, "Fletch"

Gender: Male
D.O.B: July 15, 2008

Weight: 75 pounds

Small Pet Safe: Yes

Color: Fawn

Fletch has settled in wonderfully here in his foster home. He is a medium-sized fawn boy, long and lean with white socks and a white tail tip. He has a a black snout that is just starting to grey and betray his age of almost seven — though the rest of him certainly looks younger. He has beautiful natural eyeliner that compliments his deep brown eyes as he walks around with his head lowered.

He is very obedient and knows his name very well. He comes when called, and can tell by the tone of your voice when you mean business. He has never barked or inside the house, though you might experience some separation anxiety (howling) for the first week or two. After he settles in, he is perfectly fine being left at home all day while you are at work.

Fletch almost always needs to be in the same room as his human — if he's not sticking his long nose in your business, he'll be watching from afar. He likes to cuddle on the couch or bed, though he'll usually wait for you to make the first move.

He seems mostly cat safe, though can get pretty curious if they start darting around and especially if they are outside. If you have a less active cat, he can almost certainly be taught to play nice. Fletch gets along very well with other dogs (including small ones) and might even be happiest with a companion to share the house with if you're out for most of the day. He is generally pretty submissive. He is also small-child safe and loves to get pets from kids when we are out for walks.

He loves to go for long walks. He can go a day or two without exercise but he really loves his walks and being outside with you. I can't tell you how many times I've been showered with calls of "beautiful dog!" when we're out walking.

If you're looking for a slender, graceful, quiet and well-behaved dog, Fletch is the dog for you. Just don't leave any food lying around!

Meet Tony

Racing Name: Ale Tony Romo

Welcome to My Blog

April 18, 2015

Ale Tony Romo, "Tony"

Gender: Male
D.O.B: December 6, 2011

Weight: 70 pounds

Small Pet Dog Safe: No
Cat Safe: No

Color: Brindle

Tony is a large red brindle boy with four white feet.  His eyes are more amber than brown and when he looks at you, it makes you melt.

Tony adores human attention and loves to be petted and rubbed by his humans.  He sticks close to his humans and is very interested and concerned when they move around the house.  You might feel Tony’s nose give you a gentle nudge on the behind because he following closely in case you need his help.  And “Tony The Nose” is always available to help his human.

Tony needs at least one other dog with him in his forever home.  He doesn't seem to do well as an only dog.  Tony is safe with some small dogs, but with others he is much too curious.  I think his safeness will depend on the dog.  He is fine with dogs 45 pounds or larger and lives with 3 mixed breeds in his foster home along with several Greyhounds.  Tony can be a bit dominant and might do better with a female rather than a male. 

He crates well and although he is sometimes vocal, he has not been destructive in the crate.  He eats in the crate due to other dogs being in the home.  Tony can be competitive about food so he would need to be crated when fed or placed in a secure place away from other pets.

His house manners have been excellent.  Other than a couple of accidents (urine) he has been perfect.  He has not been destructive at all.

  

Tony has attended Meet and Greets and loved all the petting and attention.  He enjoyed attention from children as well as adults.  He was VERY curious about some of the small dogs who came in the pet store so caution would need to be used when placing him with small dogs.  He is purported to be cat safe, but I would like to re-test him just to be sure due to his reaction to the small dogs.

Tony will be someone’s heart boy.  He is sweet, loving and just gorgeous.
