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 donation 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. The SCAL dogs adoption donation is $300.00.

Waiting For Parole

The Greyhounds here are currently in a training program conducted by Second Chance for Life (SCAL) 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 September 4th 2008 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 Helen.

In this section you will see information on dogs that we have in our program that are not yet ready for adoption. These dogs have a variety of medical issues that are still being treated. We look forward to each dogs graduation to the available list so that they can be considered for adoption.
 
Each of the dogs listed in this section will incur vet costs far in excess of what we will recoup in adoption fees. If you'd like to make a donation to help with these expenses, please click on this link: http://www.gemgreyhounds.org/sponsor/Special_Needs.htm
 
GEM can bring these dogs into our program because of our very generous foster homes that sometimes have to work with these dogs for months at a time. Our thanks to them are neverending.
