Description
This comprehensive guide helps prospective adopters understand the unique physical, emotional, and behavioral needs of retired racing Greyhounds before welcoming one home. Drawing on extensive experience placing ex-racers, it covers choosing the right dog, preparing the household, feeding, grooming, training, integration with children and other pets, and recognizing when an adoption may not be the right fit. The book also provides updated veterinary guidance on Greyhound-specific health concerns, preventive care, anesthesia, insurance, and treatments, along with practical information on adoption costs and agencies. Warm, authoritative, and grounded in careful research, it offers essential support for giving a former racing Greyhound a safe, healthy, and fulfilling life.
