I love Greyhounds but am allergic to them! We do have two Keeshonds, one a rescue. Kees do not bother my allergies as they are double coated and do not shed all the time. I have had many friends adopt the retired Greyhounds, they make wonderful pets and are so docile and are couch potatoes! Adopting any dog from rescue is a wonderful thing to do and so rewarding. We have had two from rescue, lost my sweet Jenna last year at the age of 15, I got her when she was 13. Molly, my rescue is 13, we got her when she was 8 and brought to the vet to be put asleep as she had bad allergies. She was unsocialized and neglected. You wouldn't know she was the same dog 5 years later!
