Rooster, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rooster
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Greyhound
Home: Alabama, USA
 
   This is Rooster. He is a rescued Greyhound from our local track. He is two and a half years old. This past April, I had to let go of my companion of fifteen years, Muffy. I was going crazy and knew I had to get another dog, and boy did I! My husband and I decided on the greyhound almost immediately. They are such perfect dogs. We had our mind made up to get a girl, but when we got there, he totally stole our hearts... He looks a bit rough in this picture, but he hasn't fully grown his coat back, and gotten over the effects of being locked up for two years in the runs and crates. He resides in Alabama with many brothers and sisters, including way smaller dogs, seven cats, and five parrots. He has brought much joy out of the sadness of losing my Muffy. And how ironic, Rooster himself plays with real roosters in our yard! (Although he is a bit intimidated by them.) This is what he is usually doing, laying around. Most times with all fours in the air! He is wonderful. Anyone considering adoptions should check out any greyhound adoption organizations. You'll be glad you did.
