Hope they find good homes. At least they won't be exploited for human entertainment/gambling anymore.

Here's the dog Rick got, they told him it was a Greyhound

LOL Steve...I wish.No dogs allowed where I live anymore.
Two local families each adopted a greyhound and wanted to adopt more.
This really is an all to common sight these days.
Please adopt if you can,or spread the word to others who are looking.

THANK YOU! for getting the word out. We have two greyhounds that we adopted earlier this year after we had to place our 16 year old Dalmatian, "Pepper", down. Greyhounds make GREAT pets! Anyways I contacted our local chapter, Sighthound Adoption Center, and shared this information with Roy. He will be letting other agencies he knows of what is going on. He will also contact the track and try to get some over here in Boise. Roy can handle some but not 900.

Please, get the word out to your local chapters, 900 greyhounds deserve a better way of life!
