Angel is a four-year-old male galgo who came to American Greyhound in June. He has made so much progress in house manners and trust already. He currently lives in a virtual zoo with one retired racer, two lurchers and two smaller whippet-mix dogs. (The whippet-mixes, JibJab and Tubbs, are also available through American Greyhound!) That makes six dogs in the house, which creates a lot of chaos at times. Angel did not like being crated at first, but it is a necessity in such a busy home. He quickly adapted as long as he wore his muzzle, too. He is fed in his crate to emphasize it is a safe place, and now he will go in on his own to relax and sleep.
Angel is a huge snuggler and enjoys being with his two-leggers over the four-leggers, especially when he can curl up on the couch. He would be happy as an only dog if the situation arose for him. Angel gets along with the other dogs for the most part, but the smaller Hawaiian boys seem to push his buttons at times. It would be best for him to go to a home without small dogs or cats.
Angel needs a six-foot privacy fence or must be leash-walked at all times. His foster dad put up some three-foot snow fence around a landscaping project, and Angel can jump that three-foot fencing with extreme ease! Oops! Luckily, in his foster home yard, it just results in him running around in the landscaping project area. But it shows he should not be trusted off-leash within a short fence. He was also a bit spooked by fireworks, but may adapt as he becomes more use to suburban noises.
If you would like more information on Angel (or would like to rescue him from the chaos he currently calls home!), please submit an application and meet this beautiful boy for yourself.
