Mr. America

My wife and I recently moved to a new house and we were interested in getting a new dog. She had her mind set on a doberman pinscher but I introduced her to greyhounds, as I had one in my family growing up. Well they finally won her over and we started meeting greyhounds from our local rescue to find one that matched well with us. We found Mr. America, who had come off Bluffs' Run in August 2013 with a broken leg. He behaved well with small dogs and children and he was such a calm, lovey dovey boy. We fell in love with the pooch and he's now home.
