Greyhounds need homes
More in this LJ.

A friend passed this message along:

This is what I have located. From the shelter website:

"The greyhound track in Plainfield, CT voted on April 26th that they would discontinue greyhound racing. Unfortunately - and heartbreakingly - they've also decided that rescuers have only two weeks to get the dogs out, and any dogs remaining at the track on May
14th will be euthanized. This is a monumental task because there are at least 500 dogs currently at the track. These are all young, healthy dogs, 2-4 years of age, who would make great family pets.

We've committed to saving as many dogs as we possibly can in the next two weeks.

That is truly heartbreaking. I do hope that many of those dogs are adopted.

I've known two rescued greyhounds, and they were lovely dogs.

I hope the best for these guys.
