Bugsy Brown aka Bugsy, black male, 80lbs, 74 races

DOB 2/28/18

 
Bugsy is a retired racer that did not retire to a foster couch; he retired to a kennel and had time to be busy and create things to do. Now that he is in a foster home, he has been fabulous. He has learned every direction we have given him over time and with consistent direction. He doesn’t mind a nap and is fantastic for our work-from-home jobs. He has a prey drive but is learning to redirect his attention with increasing success. More than anything, he wants a family who will take a few minutes a few times a day to let him play and will keep his brain active with even simple training. He could be happy as an only dog or could share a home with a female greyhound. If he gets a direction right, he’s as happy as we are and he looks forward to doing it right the next time. If Bugsy could sum up who he is right now: “I’m no longer a professional athlete but I’m no couch potato.  Bring on the blue squeaker ball followed by a nap chaser.”
