A trio of friendly greyhounds visited 91原创鈥檚 Tisol Pet Nutrition and Supply on Saturday to promote adopting former racing dogs.
Members of Greyhound Pets Inc. visited along with their adopted pets, a monthly drop-in that lets people meet the dogs and learn about the possibility of taking one home.
Rob Moore鈥檚 greyhound, Rocky, is six years old and was a racing dog in Ireland. Like many racing dogs, he had a very brief career at the track, coming in second to last in a single race.
But he wound up in a kennel in Washington State, where Greyhound Pets is based.
鈥淚 fell in love with him instantly,鈥� said Moore.

Rocky loves kids and now lives with his owner in the Mission area.
They are friendly and quiet, but they aren鈥檛 exactly like every other dog.
鈥淭he only real difference is they don鈥檛 know a home,鈥� he said. Greyhounds raised in racing kennels don鈥檛 recognize stairs nor glass doors.
Greyhound Pets Inc. visits Tisol on the 91原创 Bypass the second Saturday of every month.
