As many of you know, the greyhound racing facilities in Florida must close by 2021. I've seen estimates of between 7,000-8,000 greyhounds that will be available for adoption. I have had a former racing greyhound for three years. He is a great dog! Please consider or encourage others to consider adopting these wonderful animals. Thanks!
I saw something about this recently. We recently had a pet adoption day at work where several organizations brought dogs and cats right to the office (fun, right?). Anyway, there were these two beautiful greyhounds. I don't think I've ever even petted a Greyhound before, so I went over to say hi. This grey and black one sidled right up to me and she was so sweet and soft. As I moved away, she sidled up to me again. Unfortunately, I have to check with the head of the household on such matters, my cat Silvian, and she was pretty clear the answer was no. So, while I can't take one they really are lovely and sweet dogs.
