Greyhounds and Racing. With dogs running at speeds
up to 41 mph, a greyhound race is over almost as quickly as it begins.
Greyhound racing is a highly competitive sport - a fraction of a
second separates the winners from the rest of the pack. When their
racing career is over these good natured and gentle dogs need loving
homes. Approximately 25,000 racing greyhounds are retired every
year and all of them deserve loving homes. While adoptions have
grown dramatically in the last decade, there are still many greyhounds
that don't find homes. Our goal, along with like-minded organizations,
is to ensure that every greyhound gets that chance. If you are considering
adding a pet to your family, consider adopting a retired racing
greyhound.
