New greyhounds are arriving this evening. Watch the progess by going to http://k8nkc.com/July20-2007/
We still would love to find foster homes for a couple of them. Big thanks to Tripps for taking the reins on this one. They will be fostering most of them and overseeing the vet work. I will post pictures soon.

Through no fault of her own, little MTV has been returned. Her owner underestimated the energy of a young greyhound and the group dynamic with her other dogs. MTV is a pretty girl who is a litter sister to Oxygen. She is happy, fun and looooves to be loved. This brings up an interesting observation. Most applications we receive desire a female as young as possible. However the dogs that are the easiest for most folks to integrate into their home are dogs over 4 year and often male. In my memory we have never had a return of a black boy of any age and no older black females either. It is ironic that the hardest dog to place is a black male...double that if he is over 5 year old. Yet that is the very type of dog that really never is returned. Perhaps the reason lays in the fact that the folks at the track realize there are limited homes for black boys and therefore cull more heavily. Perhaps it is because the folks who adopt a black male often are the people who are adopting for more than just superficial reasons. I suspect the answer lies somewhere in between.
