Elizabeth and Holden were looking to adopt a dog and came across a group of greyhounds that had recently been rescued from Florida after greyhound racing had been banned. Paul had spent his whole life in a kennel and racing, so he had no idea how to do basic dog things, like lay on soft surfaces, play, or use the stairs! Elizabeth and Holden are determined to give Paul the best retirement ever and teach him what it's like to be a doggy who can just relax and enjoy life each day.

A dog that probably made it's owners a lot of money. You'd think they could have at least treated him with respect. Thanks for taking the time to rehabilitate this lovely creature.

I can’t believe nobody’s talking about how

Years ago, when our kids were little, we adopted a retired racing greyhound. Happily, Murphy had been a favorite of the breeder's children and had had more socialization than the average racer. He was extremely gentle and patient with our kids, figured out housebreaking in about two days, and learned stairs quickly. He loved being retired and being a member of the family. He was five when we adopted him and died of a brain tumor when he was ten, be we will forever cherish the years we got to spend with him.

The commitment and kindness of the owners made me extremely emotion. And Paul is so gentle despite being so scared! It's a good case of "they deserve each other", I'm glad they met.

Paul’s a kind, gentle soul who’s just learning how to live the life he’s been missing out on thanks to those kind people. I love happy endings, and it’s cute with those outfits.

I'm proud to say I voted to end the arcana practice of dog racing in Florida. Thanks to the many fabulous folks that took them home. 😍

Paul looks like such a distinguished gentleman in his nice outfits. He's so precious! I will always adopt from a rescue or shelter from here on out. The dogs you rescue are the best, and it pays you back in spades.

“He is going to have the best retirement - he doesn’t even *know*!” Their enthusiasm for showing Paul a kinder life is really inspiring. What a lovely couple, and a fortunate pup. They’re charming

My wife and I adopting a dog this past weekend. It’s so rewarding. I’m not saying don’t ever go to a breeder, I’m suggesting giving a shelter a chance. We found our new best friend.

I rescued a greyhound in Florida! She raced for 4 years and it took so many years for her to fully trust.

Paul has no clue what’s going on. He’s just happy to be here.

Adopted my retired racing greyhound almost 4 years ago now and it's been hands down the best decision I've made in my life thus far ❤

It is appalling that how we humans can exploit, torture, mistreat every other living being purely for our pleasures. Hats off to everyone involved. Not just here but on every rescue. Unsung heroes. I have 7 of my own. Unfortunately in India, the strays aren't welcome and hence my list keeps on increasing with each passing year. Hopefully things will change one day 🖤🙏🏽. Lots n lots of love.

Seeing Paul gradually learn that he can trust affection and relax is one of the most beautiful things I've seen. His rescuers are amazingly patient and kind. What angels.

I love this dogs progression into a loved pet. You can see he was clueless as to what to do at first and then he started to come out of his shell. I'm 52 and just coming out of my shell as people can be so horrid. I thank God that not all people are like this, but you do have to search for them. 🙂✌🏻
