Welcome Tartan!

Tartan is a 5.5 year old female and is white with brindle patches. She was a momma at the race track. I thought she deserved a soft place to lie down until a real home could be found. She is a real sweetheart and absolutely loves people. So far, she's my velcro dog!

Tartan gets along great with kids and is very gentle and affectionate. She's got all of her shots up to date, has been spayed and has had her teeth cleaned recently.

Tartan rides well in the car. She pulls a little on the lease, but is responsive to a light yet firm tug to get her walking next to me. She seems to get along with other dogs--we have another greyhound and a mixed breed. She was very excited at seeing a Jack Russell earlier, but hopefully she saw him as a friend and not lunch. Not sure about cats yet...

The only slight negative is that she jumps up on people and therefore has a very easy time jumping up to the counter (with her front paws, that is). We're trying to break her of that habit.

If you are interested in Tartan, email me at daniellering@yahoo.com. You may also learn about greyhounds and complete an application for adoption at http://www.greyrescue.com.

More to come as we get to know her!
