> I actually had a track-rescue Greyhound when I was younger,
> an absolutely fantastic pet.
>
> This is the most serious request for help I have made, simply given the
> sheer numbers of dogs - 900 [that is nine-hundred] - that need to find
> homes, or they will be killed!
>
> Action is needed quickly, as the racetrack is closing in about six-weeks.
>
> If you know of anyone who might want a loving, easy-to-care-for dog,
> Greyhounds are known as 40-mph couch-potatoes; please send this
> notice on to them.
>
> If you are involved in a rescue group, please cross-post this with other
> groups.
>
> In all cases please contact: Joanne Kehoe
> Operations Director; Phone: 312-559-0887
>
> Or Dairyland Race Track Adoption Center direct at (262) 612-8256
> Any help will be greatly appreciated, mainly by these doggies.

> ----------- Announcement and Request -----------
>
>
>
> > Dairyland Greyhound Racetrack in Kenosha ,
> Wisconsin will be closing on Dec 31, 2009.
> --------------------------------------------------
> 900 Greyhounds will need to be adopted - otherwise they will be euthanized; now is a great time to consider adopting a Greyhound.
>
> > They are very loving and laid back. They don’t need the space people think they need. They are great for an in-active family, because they have been crated almost all their lives, and they sleep about 18 of the 24 hours a day. They are just looking for someone to love them, and supply them with a warm, cushy bed!
>
> > They test the dogs to see if they are cat-friendly and or small-dog friendly. They also know if a dog should be a single-dog or would be great in a 2, 3, or 4-dog house!
>
> > Please help me get the word out; we only have 6 weeks to get this task done.
