This site is dedicated to Timber, Bear, Oatmeal, Mickey, Dash, Birdie, and the other gentle racing and retired greyhounds past, present, and future
Why greyhounds?
Figures on healthy greyhounds euthanized or used for research vary.
Most people agree that many years ago about 30,000 greyhounds met untimely deaths
each year simply because they were not fast enough. That number has been reduced
dramatically today thanks to some responsible race dog owners and many adoption
group efforts. Until that number is zero, more loving homes are
needed.
It also contains information about greyhounds and osteosarcoma,
something we wish we hadn't had to learn so much about.
Whether you want a greyhound or another breed . . .
If you or someone you know is considering adopting
a dog, please consider one of these gentle, beautiful creatures.
And if a greyhound isn't for you, please adopt a dog in need rather than purchase one from a
breeder or pet store.
