A greyhound is coming to our house on Thursday.

We will be fostering Davy, a brindle male, three years old, for three weeks. He has failed his racing career and would be a candidate for death or Asia were it not for the Greyhound Adoption Program.

It will be his very first experience in an actual house, having lived in kennels. That's correct, three years in kennels. He will be fostered in three different households by volunteers to help him get used to living with people (and other pets) in houses.

When they first go to a house, they shy at stairs, do not see glass (be careful with glass doors) and are generally unfamiliar with many other aspects of being a domesticated animal.

I will let you know how Davy gets along.
