HEY EVERYONE!!
So, this post has been getting quite a bit of traction in the two days that I have made it, and unfortunately, I wasn’t expecting it to be circulated so much, and because of that I neglected to add any resources to the original post for those who want to learn more about retired racers.
First of all, local greyhound groups will be more than happy to educate you about these dogs and their needs, so dont be afraid to reach out to them!!!
Here are some posts to get you started, though:
This post is a very in depth explanation on what greyhound racing looks like in the US, and links to some excellent resources on greyhounds!! An absolute must read to be honest.
This post is by the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, and it talks about things you can do to help in the wake of this ban, including things to do if you can’t adopt!!
Here is a list of some groups that will be working on rehoming dogs, if you want to support them!!
If you want to learn from people who have owned retired racing greyhounds, some tumblrs that I know of are @imalayla @ghost-the-grey and @teddythegreyt
Even still, this is just a place to start, it is not comprehensive in any way, but hopefully I have provided some helpful resources for those who want to do their research!!!!!
