Arizona Adopt A Greyhound Inc.: Featured Greyhounds

Featured Greyhounds

This will give you a quickie look at most of the dogs in the AAGI program. If you would like more information we would be glad to tell you all about them. Just email us at featured_greyhounds@arizonaadoptagreyhound or call 602-971-6935.

Cat grades are determined by judging the prey drive of the greyhound when exposed to small fluffy things. We grade them like a report card from A (meaning they have no interest at all) to F (meaning they are drooling). In general a D or F dog is just shown as NO. Please keep in mind that a kennel dog has not actually lived with a cat.
