Have you looked at Caprice lately? This sweet, senior girl is hoping to find her forever home before winter arrives! Caprice, aka Dovrun Caprice, is a 12-year-old red female born May 11, 2001. Her sire is the late, great Gable Dodge, and her dam is Prima Blastincap. She has no races to her  credit on Greyhound-data.com. Caprice arrived with her friend Rain Dance, and she has plenty of living left to do! She is cat tolerant and is living in a foster home with cats and other greyhounds.
Caprice is a senior girl but don't tell her that! She acts like a 5-year-old, following us from room to room. She is a velcro dog who loves attention but not in a demanding way - she's just happy to be in the same room with you. She enjoys her morning walk and wants to greet everyone she sees. She is good on a leash, walking with her foster brother and sister. She lives with 2 cats; she likes to follow them on occasion but only to see where they go. She would love to play with them, but they ignore her most of the time. She appears to be fine with all sizes of dogs; she visits with several on her walks. Her house manners are impeccable, no issues. She does not tell you when she needs to go out so we just encourage her to go regularly and she always rewards us! She will sleep until we get up; we let her out soon after. She enjoys her meals but doesn't always finish right away, she may graze and likes to check out the other dogs food even though it is exactly the same. She will sample their bowls if you allow her but understands no and moves away immediately. Caprice is a loving girl with soft silky fur; she loves to be stroked and talked to. She has adjusted quickly to our home and we feel certain she would easily make the transition to a forever home. If you are looking for a sweet, loving grey, please consider Caprice!
