I AM FASTER THAN THAT
This must be the slow zone. Only gets me into 2nd gear.

WHO SAID GREYHOUNDS AND CATS DON'T MIX
If I can't rest my head on another greyhound a cat will have to do. Not bad, no back bone just feels like a pillow. This is "My Pillow"

BETTER THAN MEMORY FOAM
I have tried lots of memory foam pillows but this Maltipoos' butt is soft and comfy. Now I know the reason for small dogs.

THE RED BADGE OF LOVE
Sigh.. I guess the top of my head is the best place for people to express their love for me with a big Kiss. At least they didn't spit on a kleenex and try to wipe their lipstick off my head. I guess I will proudly wear this as a badge of their affection. It wears off but there is always someone to put another back on.

HE LIKES ME HE REALLY LIKES ME
Candy's new greyhound Sherlock did not waste time finding the most comfortable place in the house. On the bed with Steve.

SIBLINGS MEET AGAIN
Tweety and Egbet both came to California together but adopted to different homes. Today Tweety had a chance to see her brother Egbet again and was happy because he also was just adopted to a greyt family.

GREYHOUND RAFFLE BAG
Ivy was watching Shelley put together fantastic raffle bags for our picnic silent auction. I guess he thought if he wasn't able to win one he might just as well become one.

ZANE STOLE THE TOY
Zane thought if he could not win a raffle bag full of toys, just steal one when Shelley wasn't looking. The object however was not to get caught.

THE GREYHOUND SQUEEZE
If that big guy moved over just a bit I could fit in here, but nooo he thinks he is a greyhound and is too lazy to move.

I GIVE UP
Tanner could not figure how to get the big pillow through the door so why strain the brain. He just figured this place is as good as any.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE BATHROOM
It smells like the dog run, looks like a dog run but which one of you is going to be the first one to step outside.

WHATEVER YOU WANT TO NAME THIS
We have all seen pictures of greyhounds lying next to and on top of each other. Catherines hounds wanted to do all of it at once. I just hope no one has gas.

ANATOMY OF A MEATLOAF
If you think that sharp knife sliced this beautifully cooked meatloaf, think again. This is the pattern of greyhound teethmarks when he is stealing your dinner when you are not looking. Whose fault was this ? Was it on the counter? Where you not watching your dog? YOUR FAULT :>)

SO HAPPY TOGETHER
It is fun to hear vets and dog trainers say that greyhounds and cats don't get along. Tell Gracie that.

GROOMING DAY
Wonder who is enjoying this more Evan or Jojo.

PILLOW MADE FOR GREYHOUND
Custom made pillow for a greyhound? I would say that is the perfect fit.

HOUND WITH CHICKS
Talking about miscommunication with my guardian. When I said I wanted to party with some chicks......

PRE PARTY
Okay Ziggy and Zita have birthdays days apart and they are family but how far does a loving family go when tempted with HAMBURGERS. Should I wait and and have my mom and dad give me my birthday hamburger or should I just eat both and give them my sad is there a problem here look.

ABI AND MILLIE
I was told Abi stayed at the greytbar until last call and had a few too many greyhounds. She thinks she went home with a good looking racing stud. Boy is she going to be surprised to see what is next to her when she wakes up.

WYATT AND CAT
Everyone has been asking about greyhounds and cats. Those who say greyhounds and cats don't mix, think again. For those in the know, Wyatt is still competing with Canus as the top frisbie catcher.

SO GREYHOUNDS ARE GOOD WITH CATS
Sure they are, just ask Mandy.

HO HO HO SAYS CANUS
Canus loves everyone being home all day during the holidays but he probably is thinking he could do without the red suit, but the hat has its merits.

NO CINDERELLA STORY
Unlike Cinderella Reese could not make anyone believe that the bed is his.

ALL AIR
Justin enjoys his fun run. Seems they never touch the ground and just fly through the air. A wonderful way to remember Justin, just being a greyhound.

WHAT IS BETTER THAN A SIX PACK
A Seven Pack. Can you find them all.

GSGA MILESTONE, OUR 1000TH SAVED EX RACER
On July 9th 2011 Golden State Greyhound Adoption celebrated our 1000th ex racer saved. IN YOUR EYE a 6 year old brood matron was our 1000th ex racing greyhound saved. Of course the fun had to be shared with work. We took in 22 hounds that day. See IN YOUR EYE Winnie on our recently adopted page. Thanks to all of our adopters and volunteers that helped make this a GREYT day.

THE CAKE
Best part of saving 1000 dogs is the day we all eat cake.

OUR SACRAMENTO GREYHOUND WALK
Our Sacramento adopters are having a greyt time, incremental to their Meet and Greets, just getting together and walking with their hounds sharing all their greyhound stories.

MY TOYS
Winslow found a comfy spot between his toys. Also making sure no other hounds get them.

OUR GREYHOUNDS ON THE STREET
Our greyhounds were the models for Street Art at the Danville Fair.

OUR GREYHOUNDS ON THE STREET
Our greyhounds were the models for Street Art at the Danville Fair.

DOES THIS DOG BED MAKE MY BUTT LOOK TOO BIG
When visiting friends with small dogs make sure they have at least one bed for your greyt. lol

GREYHOUND LINE UP
Creatures of habit all the hounds take to their own beds.

CATS AND GREYHOUNDS
Greyhounds really don't like when cats take advantage and start to use them at beds or pillows.

BEST BUDS
And people ask if greyhounds get along with other breeds. Ask Dalai and CJ.

THE BELLY RUB
A man that gives a greyhound a belly rub has a job for life. Arlen couldn't be happier than a greyhound wearing milkbone underwear.

THE PROGRESSION
Lynda is thrilled with Christie. Christie just arrived on the 10/16 haul and Lynda was chosen as her handler. Christie seems a bit unsure but is liking being on the swing instead of being in the crate. This could be a good life.

THE PROGRESSION
Lynda and Christie are now really comfortable. Lynda fell asleep but I think Christie is thinking that it would be more comfortable to have the swing to herself. As you know if you have a greyhound it is all about them. This human is now in the way of me being really comfy. How do I get this human outta here

END OF THE PROGESSION
So you think greyhounds are not as smart as other breeds. Think again.

BETTER THAN A CRIB
Cathy's new grandchild is finding out quickly that a greyhound has a very comfortable mid-section better than a regular pillow.

PAWSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL
Imagine the surprise when the manicurist said next and saw Izzy with a smile.

THE PERFECT ROACH
It really takes two to roach.

HEAD TO HEAD
Greyhounds enjoy their snooze just knowing another greyhound is close by.

ALAMEDA COUNTY FAIRE
Canus enjoying a break from the meet and greet.

ALAMEDA COUNTY FAIRE
All our hounds had a great time at the faire.

DOES SIZE MATTER
Baby Sawyer cannot figure out why Blackjacks nose is bigger that his arm. Those needle noses can get them in trouble.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE
After a hard day, looking forward to relax on a nice soft couch, do you think I am talking about the hounds or Amy? The dog bed of course is not good enough. Now you know why they are called couch potatoes. Why do humans sit on a hard chair and let the hounds own the couch. This is a question that has been asked for generations and noone has the answer.

ANOTHER AAWW MOMENT
Something must be in the water. Jada and Luna seem as content as Clooney and Twiggy.

AAWW MOMENT
Clooney and Twiggy could not seem more content.

THE THREE HOUNDS
We always get asked what is the difference between an IG, whippet and greyhound. Well now you can see. Georgi, Sebastian and Russi.

COZING UP TO A NEW FRIEND
Louvre now Cooper home in SoCal with his new buddy.

GOODBYE 09
Our Xmas meet and greet at the Willows Shopping Center. What a success, Schooner found his new family that day.

PICK ME
Hey Hey, pick me I will be good, I won't ever mess in the house wink wink. I am ready for my forever home.

BY A NOSE
I know it is just a picnic but I got you by a nose.

SAY CHEESE
I hate when they take pictures of me running and expect me to smile at the same time for their Kodak moment.

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
Wasn't the hottest summmer but when the temperature went up it is time for the cool tub.

GREYT FRIENDS GREYT HEARTS
Denise and Jay took time to educate 7 year old Hannah about her greyhound neighbors, Bella and Magnum. Hannah took the information to her Kindergarten class so they also could learn about the plight of the racing greyhound. But action speaks louder than words and Hannah and her mom set up a cookie and lemonade stand and gave 100% of the proceeds to GSGA. Jay and Denise matched the funds and we now have $400 for medical care and food for these wonderful hounds getting ready to move to their forever home.
OUR GREYHOUNDS THANK YOU HANNAH A BIG ROO TO YOU. Because of you more greyhounds will get greyt homes like Bella and Magnum.

I AM NOT SPOILED JUST TAKING A NAP
If greyhounds could talk I don't think they would ever get what we give them. They say silence is golden and greyhounds prove that everyday. I wonder where Baglan and Cass sleep.

HOUSING CRISIS
The hounds are showing us the way. If they open there crate for a fellow greyhound can't we open our homes to one more greyt?

DEAN AT FILLMORE
Dean is showing off Shana and Tiny at our meet and greet at the Fillmore Jazz Festival. We had a great two days there, saw lots of people and educated them on how ex racers make greyt companions, especially in apartments and condos.

WHO SAYS GREYHOUNDS AND CATS CAN'T GET ALONG
Tiki and her new kitty buddy. Sometimes it is just not worth the effort so go with the flow and rather than fight it and maybe lose the entire pillow to this little thing when it grows into the cat monster share now. Even if it uses me as the pillow.

WHO SAYS GREYHOUNDS AND CATS CAN'T GET ALONG 2
Sophie and Sabine bed buddies.

DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ
Slow, I don't think so.

REDWOOD CITY MEET AND GREET
Come join us at our Redwood City Meet and Greet. Loads of greyts and lots of fun for the whole famiy.

HEAD OR FEET
I had a choice to sleep head to head or go exploring. I know, the grass is always greener, NOT. The fresh air is good, take loads of pictures.

BEA TEACHES GREYOUNDS TO SIT
Creusa is a A student and Bea is a greyt teacher

BEA PROVES THEORY WRONG
We all know greyhounds have two speeds, up and down. Of course Kris thinks her Bea is sooo special so she introduces a new 3 speed model. Bea proves to us all greyhounds can sit. Sort of funny how Bea is looking at the Cat sign. Do you think in the back of her mind she is wondering what her reward would be because she sat on command? Think it has to do with meeting some cats?

MAGNUM SMILES
What a smile. Only a greyhound has a smile like that.

SHAPELY ULLA
Do you think my collar is too big for my butt.

GREYT TEAM USA
Ringo and Minnie practicing for the greyt tennis ball rugby team.

GREYT CATCH
Who says greyts can't catch. Minnie sets the standard.

BEA THE GREYTDEER
Kris and Kathryn getting Bea ready for Xmas at the Pet Food Express in Terra Linda.

GETTING READY FOR THE FLIGHT
I can't believe you, I am ready for take off and you still have your wings back.

HALLOWEEN HOUNDS
Our hounds got dressed up for halloween. They could not wait to go rooing for treats.

IO MEETS HER MOM
IO's mom Turbo Treasure an 8 year old brood matron made it to California. Little did she know that her daughter IO would be waiting for her. IO is definitely happy to see her mom and know that she is healthy and ready for retirement. See our link to available greyhounds.

GREYHOUND WEDDING CAKE
Can't have a wedding without a greyhound wedding cake. Congratulations Linda and Beck.

GREYT WEDDING
Well if you can't have a wedding without a greyhound wedding cake you surely can't have a wedding without Andy as the best hound.

DOGS PEEKING
Greyhounds are always interested as to what is going on in the next booth.
Thanks to Hiromi at C&M Photography for the picture. see Hiromi at www.candmphotography.com

A BOY AND HIS DOG
Austin a top athlete and his dog Clooney an athlete in his own rite take time out to relax and rest up before their next activity.

FAST ASLEEP
Greyhounds are also 40 wink sleepers.

STORY OF MINNIE
Steve and Cindy just adopted FreeMe now Minnie. Minnie will be sharing her home with Harpo, see our recently adopted pics. As you can see she is already channeling some of the Marx brothers traits. Minnie was Harpo Marx's mothers name and Harpo adopted a daughter and named her after his mother, Minnie. Steve and Cindy now have their own adopted greyts, Harpo and Minnie seems to all fit.

DOG NEEDS HOME
Denise Sewell, a real estate agent with #1 Bradley Real Estate can find you an your greyt the right home in the Marin area. Of course she will know exactly the right home for you and your hound, since she is Clooney's guardian.

GROUP EASTER PICTURE
Our Meet and Greet volunteers at the Pet Food Express in San Rafael for our Easter picture event. Everyone gets to have a group hug with the Easter bunny.

THOUGHTS OF A GREYHOUND
This Easter bunny must be on steriods. I'm glad I wasn't chasing this hairy hare.

THE QUESTION
You do remember chasing a small cute furry animal don't you?. Well I'm his friend.

WHAT IT IS
If it looks like an Easter bunny acts like an Easter bunny but doesn't smell like and Easter bunny, I a'int buying it.

STRESSFUL TRIPS TO THE PET STORE
I wish they had a pet store for dogs with little legs. Don't they know the dog rule? You can only sniff a dog that can sniff you back. Why should they know all my secrets.

LOS GATOS MEET AND GREET
Our Meet and Greet volunteers are waiting to meet you at our monthly event at Pet Food Express. Come down to say hi and meet and learn about our greyhounds.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOE
Happy Birthday Zoe and we all wish you many more.

SHOPPING BREAK
Hanging out together at the Solvang Greyhound Gathering. Sierra and Safari watch as their humans shop.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY LUV YOUR GREYTS
A big Happy Valentines Day. Don't forget to hug your Greyt.

PLAYING IN THE TAHOE SNOW
Sierra formally Pooh (let's not start that again) took her first trip to Tahoe and loved the snow. A bit deeper than she was tall.

SIERRA AFTER PLAYING IN THE SNOW
No matter how much fun you may think it is after playing in the snow its nice to get warm.

REALLY GETTING INTO THE PILLOW
Ella doesn't realize the backing is to support the back not become a blanket. She got as far under as any dog could.

FINN N FRIEND
As you may have seen in recent adoptions Finn may be having a hard time trying to break in to the Charlie, Zane and Ivy pack so he made a new friend of his own. This way the others may get jealous.

FIESTA IN TOYLAND
What would Christmas be without laying on top of all your toys.

MY LITTLE PILLOW
Not only are Mouse and Phydeaux best buds, Mouse is great as a portable pillow.

BOGIE AND HIS BODY GUARDS
Bogie is home with his new pack. I don't think he has anything to worry about his new friends got his back.

THE Z TEAM
Tom, Susan and their Z's - Zoltan, Zsa Zsa and Zelda are all together for the holidays.

GOING OUT FOR HALLOWEEN?
Kara says Mandy is dressed for Halloween as a cheetah. Looks to me just like my grandfather when he woke up in the morning.

THE RACE IS ON
Ulla is having a ball showing off at our picnic races. She came in first but this time she went home to a nice dinner and a big bed and played with her stuffed trophy. Yeah for our team. Team GSGA

AND THE WINNER IS
Kendyl and Zane won top honors at the employee Halloween pet costume contest at the Peninsula Humane Society. Yeah for our team. Team GSGA

CHRISTMAS AT THE WILLOWS
Everyone had a greyt time at the Willows Shopping Center in Concord. We will be there again Dec 15th. All the Christmas shoppers enjoyed seeing our greyhounds and some are sending in their applications. Next time however we will tell the dogs where the camera is. Trust me they do have beautiful faces.

BFF
Zepher and Gunny meet at our picnic and now are BFF.

SIBILINGS
Tex and Zach meet at our 2007 picnic. Its not hard to tell their brothers, unless you think you are looking into a mirror.

IVY AND MOM
Shelley took Ivy to meet her mom when she flew in from Colo. Kat is liking how Ivy, her daughter, turned out and could not be happier that she is safe and sound living with Shelley. Take a look at her on recent adoptions to see who her other kids are. We have them here and I am sure there will be a family reunion at one of our play dates.

GOING TO THE SPA
Now that is the way to have your nails trimmed. While napping on a human pillow.

GREYT HOLLOWEEN
Our adopters tried to dress our greyts and make them scary for Halloween. How can you make a Greyhound scary? Do you ever wonder what your hounds think when you are dressing them like this and they look in the mirror? They love us anyway.

MY SPOT
Mohican, now Dash, is relaxing with is new guardian Zach. One thing Dash is confused about is why the family gives him a really great space to do his business in and all the humans enjoy sitting in it.

CHARLIE AND FRIENDS
The best type of friends, they don't talk back to you, they don't take your pillow, they don't eat your food,they don't snore and they squeak.

LOVE MY CAT
Everyone wants to show us how great their greyt is with cats. This only one of Rainbows cats.

DOLLAR IN MY COLLAR
Our greyhounds are working dogs, of course in their lazy fashion, raising money to help us adopt other ex racers.

SOCCER ANYONE
Ziggy is practicing for the new hound soccer league.

BROTHERLY LOVE
The brothers are united once again and this time will live together happily ever after.

WHO IS MORE COMFORTABLE
I do not think it is Greg. Jasper has it all figured out. Of course Jaspers dog pillows just don't cut it anymore.

THE SISTERS SUPPORT GSGA
The Sisters again support the efforts of GSGA thanks to Kris educating them on our adoption program.

ADOPTERS AND THE SISTERS
The Sisters met members of our group and were able to see the results of their support. Happy retired racing greyhounds and greyt homes for their retired life.

TALKING ABOUT COUNTER SURFING
Sneak wins the counter surfing championship. I do not think she expected to be caught red handed.

GREYTBUNNIES
When the told us they were taking us to hunt Easter Eggs we did not think we had to dress for the occasion.

DRESSED FOR EASTER
I guess its only fair to have the tables turned. Just call me the White Rabbit.

WHERE'S ELLA
When you find her you can tell her she is one spoiled hound.

FAMILY PORTRAIT
Yogi, Rusty, Susie, weclome Flo Jo (black greyt) their sister to California. She came in only yesterday and will be going to her forever home with Jon and Heather.

HIP HOP
We are trying to figure out if this hound came with a hood or came from the hood. What do you think an Eminem wannabe or a Mistah F.A.B wannabe.

WE'RE TANGLED AND CAN'T GET UP
Havana and her new sister Tiki already are sharing their beds. Well maybe Tiki is sort of moving in on Havana's bed. See below.

MOVING IN
Havana in the back is okay with her new Sister moving in.

COMFORT
This great picture of Duke, taken by D. Holmgren, captures the perfect greyhound personality. Couch Potato.

WINTER WONDERLAND
Mandy and Garth, our Colorado volunteers let Truman play in the snow post blizzard. Too cold for our hounds.

ALL DONE
Sophie is very proud of the job she did. Her cat is clean and happy.

GREYHOUND CAT CHORES
It is sometimes better to have two cats with a greyhound. Tingle, now Sophie, has to take over the chore of cleaning the cat, I hope he does not get hairballs.

SEASON GREETINGS
Our greyhounds are spreading the Christmas cheer singing with their friends at the Willows Meet and Greet. They will be able to bring in the holiday again Dec 16th and 17th at the Willows in Concord, see our coming events.

SMILE
Okay now look into the camera and say cheese.

THEY WENT THAT A WAY
Pointing is not polite but I think you get the drift they went that a way.

DINNER
As they say a family that eats together stays together.

DANGER
Livy is living dangerously. Good thing Roll Lex is not a practical joker.

SQUEEZE PLAY
I could go to the left or the right, no I am going right up the middle.

WHO HAS BEEN SLEEPING IN MY BED
I think Darla does not stand a chance. If it does not smell like her bed, if it doesn't look like her bed and if she does not fit in her bed it probably is not her bed.

TAKING A BREAK FROM THE HEAT
We all know how hot it was this July but for Darla she made use of Tom and Susan's dog pool and kept cool. I think she is looking for her glass of cool white Zin.

OVER THE TOP
Some of our adopters go to greyt lenghts to embarass their hounds. Even so our ex racers seem to enjoy being the life of the party. Shelley spent July 3rd making "collectable" collars for our Meet and Greet hounds. On July 4th our hounds were out there and as you can see "collected" lots of $$ for the cause.

GREYHOUND SCIENCE
Joy is the first to document how long it takes for a greyhounds tongue to fall out during sleep. At least one hour. Nobel Prize? I think so, don't you. One for Joy and one for Ella.

SIBLINGS
Sisters and Brothers re-unite after a long trip for Juarez. Did they know each other? You bet they did.

THE FAMILY
Issac, Amy and Scotty just came in from Juarez. They are part of the group of 14 we just rescued. Some wonder if the sibilings know each other even if they have been separated. I can tell you these three went wild seeing each other again and after their reunion, together enjoyed a cold drink of refreshing water.

NOSE2NOSE
Sometimes you wonder what the nose konws.

COMFY HOUND
Okay so its a bit chilly in the evenings but isn't this over doing it. Not for one of the Z dogs. All are spoiled.

NO MORE POOPER SCOOPERS
Okay this is getting a bit too much. First they have to pick up after us, then we can only go certain places but now they have gone too far. Only in California will they make us go in doggie outhouses. The wait is horrible and nobody can leave until they wash their feet.

SEE NO EVIL
See no evil Hear no evil but Zane is a bit of a devil.

TORTISE AND THE HOUND
Is that all you do all day? I have more energy than you.

ICE'S EASTER
Okay if they think I am going to fall for the ol turkey trick they must think sighthounds can't smell. If they want me to squeak the turkey they will have to bring it to me.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Darla and Percy meet for the first time.

OUR COUCH
Dingo and Chip strategize and make sure no one else can use the couch.

SANTA'S LIL HELPERS
Sophie and Sasha are ready to bring Christmas joy and hopes of getting a forever home to all the racing greyt's around the world.

GREYHOUNDS AND CATS?
Angel's new kitten found a secure place. Not a home but Angel's tummy.

HEY HAY HAY
What is more fun than romping in the hay with my best friend. Wonder if she knows how to play king of the hill? Maybe the Hee Haw crew is coming out. Doesn't matter this is a Mojo and Sophia moment.

BRUSHING TEETH IS IMPORTANT
These people are lazy!! I know your supposed to keep these little Jack Russels challenged but teaching it how to brush my teeth is going over the line.

LOOK AT MY TEETH
I don't need help. I brush 2x day. Look at these pearly whites.

SPEED
I am running at the speed of sound, just a bit faster and I become invisible. I'll be in the movies with all the super heros' I'll be invisible hound. I need to get home in time for supper though.

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL
This can't be a mirror! If it is I am not a greyhound. If I am not a greyhound what am I.

WHOSE BED IS THIS?
Now I know what those bears were talking about. There must be a little bear around here someplace.

LIVING ON THE EDGE
Ulla has lots of faith in Zeke's etiquette. Brave Ulla.

CLEANING DAY
Argus clearly shows how he feels about cleaning.

MY NEW PILLOW
It is warm and comfy and soft and it was a great present my guardians gave me. I don't know if I should tell them it moves for no reason at all. I hope its not broken and they have to give it back. There must be a button to push to turn it off because when it moves it also makes noise.

FIRST XMAS
Ulla's first visit with Santa. She got her wish, a greyt family with Kent, Travis and Mike. I wonder what Zeke is asking Santa for. I can bet you it's not another sister.

PUPPY LOVE
Zeke gave up and decided having his own puppy friend may not be the worst thing in the world. Ulla knew Zeke would be no match for her female charms. I think Ulla told Zeke to be a good boy or a cute puppy could make life for him really rough.

PUPPY LOVE
When we had an opportunity to get puppies our Colorado volunteers could not resist. We all know Greyts are special but secretly we know the pups are a tad extra special, just ask our new puppy adopters.

HARMONY
Angel one of our recently adopted greyts teaches his favorite DAL how to be a couch potato.

LAPDOG
We know they are couch potatoes but lap potatoes? I guess Elaine was in Dingo's way.
