The dog, called Lily, was set to be put to sleep a few months ago because she was too nervous to race.
But Upper Norwood woman Denis Dubarbier, who runs a rescue centre in Hersham, north Surrey, saved Lily.
When she first arrived at the shelter, the animal was a quivering, shaking wreck but Mrs Dubarbier, of Crown Lane, helped boost her confidence.
Although still very fragile, Lily had reached the point where she was ready to go to a foster home.
The 15-month-old animal was on a trial with a couple in Church Way when she ran off.
Her potential owner was walking her at around 11pm on Monday when he tripped and let go of the lead.
An upset Mrs Dubarbier said: "It's stomach-churning. She's such a baby and she's just starting out in her life.
"We have seen her blossom and come out of herself, and we just want her back safely."
The 54-year-old has urged residents to check their back gardens, sheds or anywhere else they think Lily may use as a bolt hole.
But she has asked people not to approach her in case they frighten her off.
If you have any information, call the Hersham Hounds rescue centre on 01932 224918.
