Noodle is a pretty girl with a lot to offer, beginning with her wonderful personality. She is sociable and full of sunshine! Noodle enjoys playing with stuffies, and likes to romp with other dogs in the back yard. She likes her walks and walks well on leash.  Noodle is quick to learn the house rules, and knows "lay down" and to wait at the door when coming in from outside so her feet can be wiped. Noodle is good with children and other dogs, but has to draw the line at cats. A delightful and sweet greyhound..

Michelle is a darling greyhound with the sweetest nature.  She is as good as gold, and has been the perfect houseguest in her foster home.  Michelle isn't demanding of affection but seems to appreciate it when it's given.  She is learning to live with the felines in her foster home and doing very well with it.  Michelle had a litter of puppies after retiring from the track, and is now ready for a forever home.  Michelle is a delight!

Maddie is a social and affectionate girl.  She is still young enough to have some of the typical puppy tendencies, but learns quickly what is allowed and what's not.  Maddie is quite active, and will need lots of exercise to wear off her puppy energy.  She is a jumper and can easily clear a 5' fence!  Maddie gets along with other dogs and enjoys their company.  She also likes kids.  Maddie is the epitome of cuteness!

Felice is senior in years but that doesn't mean she's old!  She is a bubbly, outgoing girl whose tail never stops wagging.  Her tail whirls around in circles like a helicopter when she sees you!  Felice loves to meet new people and greets them like they are her long lost pals.  She is a kisser!   Felice has neverending enthusiasm and has lots of sparkle in those big brown eyes.  She will fill your life with sunshine and love!

Zoey is a purebred greyhound that was born and bred in Alberta.  How do we know that Zoey is not a racing greyhound?  Racing greyhounds are registered with the National Greyhound Association in the States and have identifying tattoos in their ears.  Zoey does not have these tattoos; therefore she cannot have raced.  Zoey is an adorable girl with a lovely personality. She is outgoing and self assured, and just a delight!

Zoey has a pending adoption

Hanna was born and bred in Alberta, probably to keep coyotes off the farm.  There's no way to know if Hanna is a purebred greyhound; everything about her is classic greyhound except that the fur on her back is a bit longer than usual.  However, her temperament and personality are definitely greyhound!  Hanna is gentle and loving, a real sweetheart.  She is a quieter girl that enjoys being around people.  Hanna is cuddly and loves nothing better than to snuggle with you.  This little doll is well worth a second look.

Some of you may remember last June when Chinook Winds Greyhound Rescue brought up the Black Beauties, the haul of all black dogs we transported from the United States. (Click here for the full story.)  Black greyhounds are the least popular simply due to their color. However, they have the same sweet dispositions as their more colorful counterparts!  We're proud to announce that we have done it again - more than half of the greyhounds that came to us on our April haul are Black Beauties, and we look forward to helping them find the wonderful forever homes that they too deserve!  (Don't take our word for how greyt the black dogs are - come out to a Meet and Greet and see for yourself!)        

Mesa is a spirited greyhound with an outgoing and friendly nature.  She loves attention, loves to have her ears scratched and her tummy rubbed.  Mesa suffered some tendon damage to one of her rear legs, and consequently has restricted use of the limb.  The limitations of the leg will not hinder her quality of life as a companion pet, nor does it handicap her in any way.  Proof positive is when Mesa is amongst a group of greyhounds in the turnout yard.  Follow the crowd?  Mesa leads the pack!

True to greyhound nature, Scarlet is a sweet girl that loves affection.  She is one of these very special females that had puppies after her racing career was done, and we can never say enough about the joys of having a brood mom as a companion pet.  Senior greyhounds are the greyhound world's best kept secret, and broodies are the cream of the crop.  Scarlet is a prime example.  She is ready to go home with her special someone, and deserves a wonderful home to match her beautiful exterior and winning personality! 

Scarlet has a pending adoption.

Carl is quite baffled by this whole retirement thing and is finding the change from the kennel environment he's known all of his life to be somewhat of a challenge.  Carl is a little shy when he meets new people, and it takes him awhile to find the confidence he needs to feel comfortable.  He does have a playful side that emerges now and again; it's something that he just can't keep under wraps!  Carl needs a special person to help him through his doggy foibles.  Invest some time in this young dog and you will be paid back in spades!

Smoke is somewhat uncertain about the direction his life has taken since he retired from the track, and he isn't sure what to do about it!  He treads cautiously, and tends to stay in the background, watchful and waiting.  Smoke seeks out attention, albeit as inconspicuously as possible, but he does enjoy it.  This sweet but confused boy just needs some time to get used to this retirement thing so he can start to enjoy it.  Smoke is well worth the effort; all he needs is a chance!

Flutter is a calm, mellow, loving, and gentle girl.  She did a bit of racing, raised some puppies, and now wants nothing more than a family of her own.  There is something truly endearing about this little girl; just look at that enchanting face!  Flutter deserves a forever home; will yours be the lucky one?

Damper is an irresistably charming and personable fellow.  He is happy and friendly, with a goofy side to his personality.  If you are looking for an amusing and entertaining companion, Damper will bring lots of fun and laughter to your household.  Damper is nicely independent; he is comfortable being by himself and doesn't need to be your constant shadow.  An all round fantastic dog!
