My daughtet has rescued a female Greyhound, she is somewhere between 11 to 15 mo old.
She was rescued off a private ranch out in what we call the Flint Hills.
(out in the middle of no where )
There had been a male and this female and we tryed to get them both but the Greyhound rescue failed us badly and didn't even return our calls the day they promissed to meet us to pick up the dogs. My daughter drove almost 350 miles to get them trying to keep this ranch owner from shooting them. But when the rescue didn't call and didn't show up she was only able -- sadly to get one dog.
The male was shot and killed.
My daughter has the female and she is very frightened and shy but for a dog that has never been in a house be before doing very will.
Doing great around the other dogs and once she warmed up to us is very gentle.

I have been trying to get help with getting her spay and first vet check up.

I was told be the Humane S of KS they wont help with or have anything to do with a Greyhound and today said to go to the Greyhond rescue. The same one that has already not helped.
There reason was that Greyhounds have speacial health needs,

Do any of you know anything about this?

When I was talking with the rescue in the begining they where asking question about the ear tatoos and where demanding an adderss to the ranch. Something I didn't have and that mad her up set.

The rescue was also worried that the dogs where Coyote dog? never heard of that either.
But guess the Greyhound is also bred and raised and even ear tagged for running coyotes so the rescue was worried that these dogs where coyotes dogs.

To me that still doesnt make sence a Grehound is a Grehound and a rescue should be able to at least be honest and not say they are going to do something and then not.
Just a little ranting little sorry

Anyone know anything?

If we are going to foster or keep this dog I need more infor if these dogs are this fragile.

thanks
