About Lorraine

Meet Lorraine, a charming 4-year-old black female Greyhound who's ready to bring joy to your home. Born on March 5, 2022, under the sign of Pisces, Lorraine was bred for racing in Australia but found her calling in retirement here in the states. This sweet and affectionate girl thrives on human companionship. She's happiest when you're nearby, making a work-from-home situation ideal for her. Lorraine prefers a home where someone is present most of the time. With her calm but engaging personality, she enjoys being by your side for pets and attention without being overly demanding. In her foster home, Lorraine gets along splendidly with other Greyhounds and a couple of cats. She's not suited for homes with children, but well-adjusted adults and other dogs would be a perfect match. Lorraine does need the comfort of another dog to help her settle in and bond. Although she shows moderate interest in furniture, she is well-mannered and does well in the car, ready to accompany you on new adventures. It's important to note that Lorraine has some separation anxiety, which is managed with medication when the humans leave. Her ideal family would be dog-savvy, with plenty of time to spend with her and no children around. She requires no fence as long as she has a reliable companion. Lorraine is currently in the Bondurant, IA area and requires a meet-and-greet before adoption—adopters must be willing to come to her foster home. She's ready to become a beloved member of your family. Click apply to start the adoption process.
