Massachusetts has passed the ban on dog racing, which is great for Greyhounds. Dog racing is just another form of greed using dogs to gamble and make tons of money, despite the fact that the Greyhounds pay the price for this gluttony. There were hundreds of Greyhounds being disposed of yearly when they weren’t “winning” property anymore. Also, the conditions that the racing Greyhounds were kept were atrocious and it wasn’t until the 1990s that it became widespread awareness of the animal cruelty that these pups were enduring year after year.

200 Greyhounds need homes now that dog racing is banned in Massachusetts. They are docile, loving dogs that make the perfect companion. Despite living their lives as a cash commodity for dog racing businesses, Greyhounds still want a forever home where they can live the rest of their lives as dogs should with lots of love. If you can’t adopt a Greyhound, monetary donations are always welcome to help care for these homeless canines. Visit the Connecticut Greyhound Adoption website for more information on how you can help.
