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---approximately 90% are adopted---there
are
still some 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.
