A bit of warning. If a grey gets loose, they tend to run and do not come when called. Zorro has learned to come when he is called (usually). When they run, it's only for a brief time and oddly enough they tend to go in a circle. Remember that when you are looking for them. Keep a collar with your cell # on it. Greys slip the collar very easily.

This, I know to be true. One day, doing yardwork, a greyhound came up to me. Luckily, a collar with a tag, containing a greyhound rescue phone number. I put the dog in our garage, she instantly spread out on the blanket I provided, drank the water...
I called the number. The lady on the other end was shocked...the poor critter was "rescued" in California. Said she'd do research, call me back. So, I provided food, went back to yard work.
As I worked, I noticed a little pickup with canopy kept cruising up & down my semi rural road. I flagged the lady inside down, asked: "Are you looking for something?" Yep...a greyhound. So, a reunion. The lady promised to give the rescue people her new address & number...and yes, get a license.
This dog was over 2 miles from home...as the crow flies.
