Last June our family rescued a racing greyhound who retired from Sanford Florida at the age of 3.5
His racing name was Johnny Coolman, but we renamed him Cooper.
Here is a video of one of his victories. He won 13 of his 97 races.

They are WONDERFUL dogs (and lazy!) that deserve homes. Most retire between the ages of 3-5 and they can live to 12-15 years old. They have a lot of life to live!
They are great family pets and even make great city dogs since they don't require a lot of space (despite their size) They are pretty laid back, couch potatoes to be honest.
--Cheers!
