comment:
ADOPTED - Jake is a playful and outgoing boy. He gets a happy tail and clicks his teeth when he's excited-especially when his family comes home. He loves to go for walks, play with his squeaky toys, and look out the window at the neighborhood. Jake loves to introduce himself to everyone he meets. He doesn't get on the furniture and he crates while his people are away. Being a true greyhound, he loves to nap, but he loves to play too.

comment:
ADOPTED - Fred is a recent "parolee" of the Nashville prison dog program. He sits and downs on command and has excellent leash and house manners. He has recently earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen title. Fred currently lives with a cat and small dog. Fred has only one trait that requires special consideration, he doesn't like long walks on the leash. After about a mile Fred stops and wont walk any further so if long walks with your dog are desired Fred isn't your boy.
