Cairo Needs a ‘Fur’ever Home (update)

UPDATE: Just wanted to send everyone an update that Cairo was adopted into a loving home over Christmas. He is enjoying his retirement to the fullest.

Due to a dramatic change in Cairo’s family, he has been returned to GPAC-NL.  This is through no fault of his own.

Cairo is a six year old male with a great personality.  He is very active & playful (for a Greyhound).  He loves his walks & romps in the back yard.  He walks beautifully on his leash and is very affectionate & friendly with kids & adults.  He will flourish in a home with no cats or small dogs.  He is very easy to control and responds quickly to correction. He likes to be around people and other greyhounds.  He will make a wonderful companion and pet.

He has lived a home for several years and is fully house trained.  He is now in foster care, but is looking for family to call his own.   Is there room in your heart and home for Cairo???
