MEET HOPPER

Hopper, racing name CG’s Grasshopper, a 7.5 year old red and white male. He has an adorable white face with a faded black mask, and his ears stand straight up whenever he’s paying attention to something. He is a sweet and quiet hound who would much prefer lounging around the house over taking big walks.

RETIRED NOT RESCUED

Racing Greyhounds do not need rescuing. When they retire, racing greyhounds are ready to be adopted and settle into their forever homes. Please respect these highly trained athletes for their accomplishments and don’t refer to a racing greyhound as needing to be rescued. They need to be adopted.

A portion of the purchase of each certificate goes to a greyhound adoption group of your choice. This is a win-win for everybody in the world of greyhound adoption.
