About Amanda

Amanda is a retired Greyhound who has made the transition from track life to the search for a loving home. At 9 years old, she has a playful spirit and adores chasing after a fast-moving ball, often wearing a delightfully goofy expression while she does it. Walk time is the highlight of Amanda's day, though her initial excitement can lead to pulling on the leash, and she’s quite strong—so she’ll need a patient and experienced adopter who’s comfortable managing a big, enthusiastic dog. Amanda responds well when given clear boundaries and consistency, so someone who’s confident and dog-savvy will be a great match for her. She does well with children who are respectful, but Amanda should not be placed in a home with cats or small dogs. Amanda’s ear tattoos mark her racing past, and her zest for play remains strong, but she’s ready for her next chapter with someone who understands the unique quirks of a retired Greyhound. By the way, Amanda is a Virgo, so she may appreciate routine and attentiveness in her environment. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
