Pet Name: Molly
Race Name: Madam Molly
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 05/28/2018
Madam Molly is ready to find her peaceful forever home. We wouldn’t say that Molly is a lazy Greyhound but she has really taken the word “retired” to heart and she certainly would be more suited to a home that lead a sedentary lifestyle. Molly prefers company, and long pats to long walks and whilst would happily be a coffee companion at the local café, she hopes your drove. If it’s a beach holiday you’re dreaming of with an amazing companion by your side Molly’s your girl, just don’t bring a ball and make sure the towel is extra fluffy. Molly is great with other dogs, she loves the companionship but would be equally happy as an only dog, soaking up all the attention. Molly’s laid back attitude would make her an ideal companion to a slow paced, peaceful home.

Pet name: Megan
Race name: Da Honey Monster
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 01/13/2018
Color: Black
Weight: Approx 60lbs
Megan is an absolute sweetheart. She has a beautiful character and is the perfect lady. She is mannerly but also has a lovely sense of fun. She can’t resist a hug! She is so gentle and kind and just loves human company. Her tail is constantly wagging…especially when she is out walking. She approaches everyone she meets with a waggy smile. She is outgoing and loves interacting with people. She sees everyone she meets as a potential friend! She is very good on the lead and loves travelling in the car. She has a youthful energy and still enjoys a zoomie! A gentle soul, she is happiest when sitting beside you soaking up the love! Ear scratches and cuddles make her day.
Megan has met lots of children out on her walks and loves to chat with them. She is gentle and patient in nature. Megan has not lived with very young children so she would be best suited to a home with older, dog savvy children. She would find loud, energetic young children a bit intimidating.
Megan has met and interacted with other dog breeds while out walking. She is calm and friendly towards them. Quite unconcerned really! She is more interested in the people who accompany them! With proper and patient introduction, Megan would be happy to live in a home with any size of dog, although she is most familiar with medium to large sized dogs.
Megan is a sweet and gentle lady who will fit in to almost any type of home. She enjoys company so would not be suited to being left home alone for long periods of time. Her calm nature means she could be suited to either a home with older children, just adults or older adults. She is easily pleased and as long as she gets her walk she is happy. She does not require huge amounts of exercise. Ideally Megan would love a garden to relax in and of course a couch to chill out on. She will be a loyal and loving friend to whoever makes her part of their family. She is so easy to love and will make a great companion.
Megan never raced and is healthy and sound.

We anticipate receiving our next shipments of hounds in January and March. Although it doesn’t happen often, we never know when hounds might be rejoin the Arizona Heartfelt Hounds family and need new homes.
Please follow up on Facebook to stay up to date on our Hounds.
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…
