Crimson Greyson Veritas II

Meet Crimson Greyson Veritas II, affectionately known as Grady II. Grady II is the current live mascot for the University of Indianapolis. He came to Indianapolis in the fall of 2025 from New South Wales, Australia. Similar to our "original Grady or OG,"  Grady II raced briefly before working with the adoption agency Greyhounds As Pets - New South Wales to move to the U.S., and, ultimately, UIndy through the Indianapolis chapter of Greyhound Pets of America.

Grady II is a fawn brindle greyhound. He is very affectionate with a personality that wins hearts. However, moving from Australia to become a live mascot has been a bit of a journey, and we’re giving him some grace as he learns this new life. He has been the "mascot in training" since his debut in October 2025. He will officially take over as the mascot when OG retires in May 2026. Coran Sigman, the current Live Mascot Handler, will also be the handler for Grady II, and she and her husband will adopt Grady I as their family dog. 

Don’t worry! The original Grady the Greyhound isn’t running off into the sunset, never to return. As mascot emeritus, OG will come to campus as a guest for campus traditions and special events. 

You can learn more about Grady II in our University of Indianapolis magazine.

Thank you, Greyhound fans and family, for all of your support! Without your engagement and your belief in the program, the UIndy Live Mascot Program would not be possible.

As Grady likes to say, stay pawsitive, and Go Greyhounds!
