      @eileensimpson, Greyhound racing in Idaho has been illegal for many, many years, so what you're talking about happened many, many years ago. How about living now and not in the past. Tracks are not horrible at all. If they were, greyhounds couldn't race on them. The tracks are groomed before each race to make them the safest place for the greyhounds to run.

      @@momtoty have owned 2 separate greyhounds who were both rescues and lived long lives. Over the years my feelings on tracks and kennels have slowly changed. I have softened my feelings on them and in fact have seen how well some tracks have treated their dogs. I am now of the belief that most tracks try and do well for the dogs. I mean really they have to. I have seen some kennels even set up extremely nice living spaces for each of their dogs. My only concern now is the overbreeding of dogs because I believe that’s where some kennels get into trouble.

      @@Tackleqb There is no overbreeding now since the tracks in FL closed. There are only 2 tracks left open in WV. There is a shortage of available greyhounds to adopt now because breeders aren't breeding like they used to and some breeders have stopped all together. Some adoption groups are getting greyhounds from IR, UK and AU to bring here so people can adopt them. My adoption group had to disband because we can't get any greyhounds now. It was a sad day when FL voted to close the tracks. A lot of people lost their jobs and their livelihoods. Many kennel owners went back generations and now it's all gone. Th love they had for their greyhounds was enormous. There were many tears shed when the last greyhounds walked out of the kennels for the last time.

The more knowledge you have the better you can get it on your local voting ballot to get rid of it. It takes perseverance because these gambling companies have a lot of money to fight it.

      @itz1av3 What do greyhounds go through to learn how to race? What have you seen yourself? Greyhounds aren't forced to learn how to race. It's impossible. They just learn to chase after a toy and if they have no desire to chase, they get an early retirement and go home with their owner or go to an adoption group to get adopted. Nothing cruel ever happens to greyhounds. Cruelty won't produce a good racer. Quite the opposite. They get the best care and plenty of love. That's why they make such wonderful pets.

Greyhounds get the best care, better than a lot of adopted greyhounds do. I don't believe she was abused at all whether she was a bad racer or not. If she wasn't a good racer, the owner would retire her to an adoption group where you adopted her. The main purpose of racing greyhounds is to have them race their best so abusing them defeats the purpose. That's like beating up a football player and expecting him to play the game. Stupid isn't it? Well it's stupid to even think greyhounds are abused and expected to race their best.

    It's always nice to see greyhounds featured on The Dodo. I've had greyhounds since adopting my first one in 2004, and they are absolutely wonderful, gentle, sensitive, and loving pets. They do require some extra patience in the beginning because literally everything is new to them: other breeds of dogs, stairs, windows, couches, etc. Paul's behavior was very normal. But, their real personality starts to emerge. We always like to say that you'll have a whole different dog a year later!
    They learn very quickly and become precious family members. I have three greyhounds waiting at the bridge and one wonderful dog, Flashy, with me today. He's my whole world!

    The sweetest, smartest, most loving dog I ever had was a "recycled racer." Her name was Grace. I had her for 10 beautiful years and she never barked once. While racing, they live in crates stacked high atop each other with ramps, so they have never used stairs. They have never had a toy. They are let out of their crates to pee on the "caretakers'" time schedule, so are not housebroken when you adopt, but they are wicked smart and learn very fast! They eat from huge community troughs so have never had their own food or water dish. It broke my heart. Her only goal in the last years of her life was to make me happy. I hope I made her just as happy. I miss her every day.

    Our greyhound, Archer (his racing name was Jitterbug but, we thought it was-blehh) came from the same track. Luckily for him, he wasn't particularly good at his job so his owner surrendered him to Greyhound Pets of America. At first, we were just fostering him but we were really total failures as foster parents since we almost immediately decided to adopt him. When he first came off the track he wasn't especially fearful of really anything-he'd never really suffered any trauma from people, but he was not really well socialized, much like Paul. He also had incredible difficulty with stairs. Up, he could do. Down....next to impossible. We were lucky to live in the Charleston, SC area since there was a huge GPA presence there and we'd often have meet-ups at a local (fenced in) dog park. The most incredible thing to see is a dozen or so greyhounds doing 40 mph together, not confined to a track. Best of luck with Paul. Working with these dogs has been one of the most incredible and rewarding experiences I've ever had. It's wonderful to see him in such a kind and caring home.

I go right to the source, the people that work with greyhounds every single day, 7 days a week, 14 hours a day. Greyhounds are the best kept breed anywhere. They are Vet checked every week at the kennels, they are checked by a track Vet before and after each race. They get checked more than any other breed on earth. They are exercised every day, walked every day, get whirlpool soaks after each race, get rub downs every day. You can't mistreat a greyhound and then expect him to race his best. It's impossible and against regulations. It's time you do the right research, not propaganda crap from lying activists.

    This was wonderful ... we are on our 5th adoption of retired racing Greyhounds and they are magical. Beautiful, strong, loving and affectionate canines ... we have a fenced half acre and they have a doggie door so they can go out whenever they want. They are loving life and we are loving them.

    My first greyhound came right off the track. We used to joke about how we had to teach her how to be a dog. Give her "dog lessons" They really are the sweetest dogs. I've never known a breed like them. LAZY!!

    Those poor greyhounds! They are so sweet. I am from Florida and we voted to stop the greyhound racing. I'm so glad it passed! Those poor dogs were exploited horribly. No wonder this poor baby had so much fear instilled in him..😑 Thank you for giving this precious baby a home where he no longer has to work for the sick, sadistic pleasure of cruel people. May precious Paul live the rest of his life happily.

    My friend rescued a greyhound and she has gone through a similar journey. It's so lovely to see them run, just like they should, as a dog! Not as a driven animal for human sport. Paul is gorgeous 💛💛

    • @momtoty
      @momtoty Год назад

      @tmm5115 Greyhounds aren't driven to race. Paul raced because he loved to chase. You can't force a greyhound to race around track. Just how would you force them to chase a lure? If they have no prey drive to chase, they aren't forced to. That's impossible. Greyhounds race because they love it, they love the chase.

    Rescued Greyhounds are wonderful pets. Ours arrived in California over 15 years ago and we had her for 5 wonderful years before she died of bone cancer. No one had sent her the memo that Greys are aloof so she went around acting like a Lab, charming everyone in sight and sticking her long snout where it didn't belong, lol! My husband used to take her to work and his co-workers used to take turns walking her because she was such a sweetheart. I cried so hard when I took her to the vet that last day and still miss her. She's chasing squirrels in sky now.

    Years ago our family adopted a greyhound that had raced in Florida but no longer was winning any money for his owners. So owners would either turn over the dogs to a rescue or they would euthanize them. The dog we adopted didn’t know what a dog bed was or what a toy was. He didn’t know how to swim in pool or lake. He had spent his life in a cage only out to race. It took time but he became the biggest lap dog and such a sweet boy.

    I've had many dogs, but few as rewarding as my retired racer. Greyhounds are quirky clowns, they love people, sleep in the most ridiculous positions, & there is no joy like the joy of a happy grey. Watching them run & explore their new world is inspirational.

      @BeepBoopBaap Exactly, dogs need a job or a sport to do to have a good life. I have 4 of my own dogs all of different sizes and each one has a purpose.
      Im a firm believer that all dogs regardless of breed or size should have something to do.

      @cherylmontgomery Why are you glad racing is banned? What have you ever seen yourself? Racing is only banned in 1 state, Idaho. Greyhounds love to race, it's a game to them. They have great lives with their handlers. They are happy and healthy. So why ban it?

    Your joy in seeing Paul’s personality develop is heartwarming, to say the least. I’m a greyhound owner since2009, as well as a volunteer in doing home visits and placing adopted greys for a few years. Nothing gave me greater joy than watching families welcome their new treasure into their homes…and seeing the beautiful reactions of the dog in realizing life was going to be different. So glad Paul found you 🎉❤️
