Arizona Heartfelt Hounds Is a Non-Profit, All-Volunteer, 501(C)(3) Sighthound Rehoming Group Dedicated to Finding Responsible and Loving Forever Homes For Retired Racing Greyhounds and Other Sighthounds
We will receive our next shipments of hounds from Ireland in March. In May, we are scheduled to welcome 5 Galgos from Galgo Rescue International Network (GRIN) in Spain!
Although it doesn’t happen often, we never know when hounds might rejoin the Arizona Heartfelt Hounds family and need new homes.
Please follow us on Facebook to stay up to date on our hounds.
Pet Name: Stuie
Race Name: Stuie Griffin
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 6/20/2021
Color: Black
Status: Available
Coming to AHH from Irish Retired Greyhound Trust in March!
Stuie is a bright, sparky fellow! He’s a very curious boy. He likes going out on walks and exploring the world around him! He loves everyone who will play with him, but he can be a little excitable, so he would be best in a home with folks who help him stay calm. He’s great with other greyhounds and dogs his size. He likes small dogs and shows no aggression, only curiosity, but he may just be a little bit big to play with some smaller ones.
Super Stuie is a very sweet boy who loves attention and cuddles! He’s a straightforward sort who likes the simple things in life – pets, a long walk and a space on the sofa! He would love a forever home with a loving family who can shower him with love (and treats!)
Pet Name: Gem
Race Name: Glasmeen Gem
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 9/4/2019
Color: Black
Status: Available
Coming to AHH from Irish Retired Greyhound Trust in March!
A gem in name and in nature, Gem is a lovely, quiet girl! She likes everyone and everyone likes her. She is good with other greyhounds and we expect she will be great with smaller dogs too. She is good with anyone who will give her lots of attention! She is a great eater – loves her food – and doesn’t mind travelling in the car.
Gem would fit perfectly in a huge variety of homes. She isn’t fussy but one thing she would love is a garden to putter around in! She’s very chilled and adaptable; she just wants to be friends with everyone!
Pet Name: Gary
Race Name: Melbourne Flyer
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 8/18/2021
Color: Black & White
Status: Adoption Pending
Coming to AHH from Irish Retired Greyhound Trust in March!
Gary is a beautiful black and white boy with so much love to give! He’s a chill, easy going boy who is equally happy going on walks as snuggling on the sofa. He gets on well with other dogs and would be suitable in many family environments! He’s a good eater and quite enjoys a spin in the car.
Gary is a versatile boy who would suit a huge variety of homes. With gentle introductions, he would be quite happy to share his home with another canine companion! If you give him plenty of attention and love, he will be your new best friend!
Pet Name: Bess
Race Name: Kildoo Babe
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 1/14/2022
Color: Brindle
Status: Adoption Pending
Coming to AHH from Irish Retired Greyhound Trust in March!
Bess is a gorgeous Brindle with a sweet, shy personality. She can be a little nervous around new people and in new situations, but once she relaxes, she has a sweet, affectionate personality. Bess is more of a snuggle on the sofa girl than a long walk on the countryside girl – she loves her home comforts, warm bed and cozy blankets!
Bess would love a home with someone who has experience with dogs who can help her gain her confidence to flourish!
Pet Name: Polly
Race Name: Madabout Polly
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 9/29/2016
Color: Black & White
Status: Adoption Pending
Good with all sized dogs but not with exotics (i.e., tortoises)
Polly is a sweet old lady from Irish Retired Greyhound Trust who would love a giant comfy bed and someone to watch have a cup of tea and pat her.
She is very polite on the lead and loves being out and about on a walk.
She is good with all other breeds of dog including small dogs and is used to children over 5 years old and is very patient and loves getting lots of pats from them.
Several weeks ago Arizona Heartfelt Hounds was notified about a sighthound mix in Globe that an owner wanted to surrender. Unfortunately, we were not able to take him in. However a wonderful good Samaritan stepped up and picked him up. We are posting their availability as a courtesy to help them find their forever homes.
Please email Deb, Pogo’s Foster Mom, at [email protected] for general questions. Potential adopters must complete an adoption application, home visit, and adoption contract. Potential families are welcome to visit multiple times after adoption application and ongoing support is included if desireed.
Born: 2020
Color: Black/White Whippet Mix
Gender: Male
Weight: 60 lbs
Status: Available
Pogo (for his vertical pogo-ing skills) is MR. ENTHUSIASM! He is VERY EXCITED about everything right now. This handsome boy is so happy for attention, and just being indoors after being chained out in a pasture, that he doesn’t know how to manage his joy at the prospect of being a house dog!
Pogo is a younger adult, at 2-3 years old. This bounding athletic face-kisser is super outgoing. He barks in the backyard at strange sights and sounds, including his foster mom’s tortoise, so is an effective watchdog. He is way too friendly for any guardian role. He will join in with neighborhood coyotes or sirens for a short roooooo. Dog savvy teens would be ideal playmates, though kids under ten could be bowled over by this black and white rocket, aka 60 pounds of pure joy. Bonus! Pogo crates well overnight with no accidents, walks and recalls to sit well on leash, and enters and rides very nicely in the car.
This flashy “Diamond in the Rough”, is recommended to previous dog owners with skills to enhance his training and whose active lifestyle already includes deliberate exercise. Obedience class would enhance his place in an active and loving home. This goofy, affectionate boy MUST have two daily walks daily along with outdoor play “Zoomies”.
Pogo was neutered, microchipped, and has rabies and DHPP shots. His adoption fee is $425. Apply directly for Pogo to his foster mom, Deb, at [email protected] for general questions.
Adoption application, home check, and adoption contract are required. Bonus… ongoing support if needed!
We have a waiting list for Greyhounds. We have 4 retired racers from Australia coming in January 2023, but we believe they are all spoken for.
Please check back often… we do have hounds that return to us from time to time. We like to get dogs that are use to being in homes placed with a Foster Family or in a new home quickly. We don’t place hounds on a first come/first served basis… we will continue to match each hound with the best adopter and the best home.
We are hoping to receive Lurchers from the American Lurcher Project in Ohio in 2023!
Check back again soon…
WE ANTICIPATE RECEIVING MORE HOUND MIXES, BUT WE DON’T KNOW WHEN.
Typically we don’t have much lead time when we receive hound mixes.
Check back again soon…
