Senior and Special Needs Greyhounds

This section includes Greyhounds over the age of seven as well as some with medical needs that will require extra care, possibly for the remainder of their lives. Since many people are looking for a younger pet that will remain with the family for a longer period we offer seniors and special needs dogs at a reduced adoption fee of $100.00.

Cell Dogs

This section is home to Greyhounds who have graduated from a prison training program conducted by Second Chance for Life (SCAL). While the SCAL Greyhounds are in the program they learn basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, come etc. and should be prepared to pass a Canine Good Citizen exam with little effort... just reinforcement on your part.

Waiting For Parole

The Greyhounds here are currently in the Second Chance at Life (SCAL) training program at the Coldwater Prison Facility. While the SCAL Greyhounds are in the program they learn basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, come etc. and should be prepared to pass a Canine Good Citizen exam with little effort. Their expected release date is March, 2010, where they will receive further evaluation as to their tolerance of cats and small dogs upon arrival with their new foster family. If you would like to inquire about any of these dogs prior to their graduation, please contact our Foster Coordinator.

GEM is able to bring these dogs into our program because of our very generous foster homes.
Foster families sometimes have to work with these dogs for months at a time.
Our thanks to them are neverending.

Special thanks to our small animal tester Foose!!
