Rex, who was previously adopted about 3 years ago and recently returned, is being fostered with 3 other greyhounds and is doing great. It only took a few days for him to adjust to our feeding routine. He loves playing with stuffies and squeaky toys. He really likes being with his people and stands by you waiting to be petted, hugged or loved on.
