Description
Dog Breed: Greyhound. Shelby is a handsome boy who we recently welcomed as a rescue from the China meat trade. We are happy to have this boy in our GFNJ family. He's a sweet, friendly boy who is in a foster home learning about his new life in the U.S. He's adjusting surprisingly well. Shelby is 2 years old and cat tolerant with supervision. He can climb fences, so either a leash walking home or a home with a 6 foot, smooth fence would be best for safety. His foster home does not have a fence, so he will get plenty of walks. Shelby is cat tolerant with supervision and is about 43 pounds.

Overview:
The majestic Greyhound, an ancient breed originating in the Middle East and historically revered for its incredible speed, is a fascinating and often misunderstood companion. Renowned for their sleek, aerodynamic build, Greyhounds possess a distinctive deep chest, slender legs, and a powerful, athletic physique perfectly adapted for chasing prey. Despite their past as racing hounds, their temperament is surprisingly gentle and calm, often described as "45-mph couch potatoes." They are affectionate, quiet, and generally well-behaved, making them surprisingly good candidates for apartment living, provided they receive regular, albeit brief, bursts of exercise. Greyhounds are typically good with families, including children, and often coexist peacefully with other pets, though their strong prey drive means careful introductions are necessary, especially with smaller animals. While generally a healthy breed, potential owners should be aware of conditions like Bloat, Hypothyroidism, and certain sensitivities to anesthesia.
