I don't want to get into all of this, but...

My dad's best friend Randy and his wife just recently adopted a "retired" greyhound....

He is only 3 years old, has scars and is way underweight, the place told them that he will probably gain 30+ pounds now because he's not racing anymore, meaning he is very underweight.

He is very nervous and shy, they have owned him for 2-3 weeks and Randy just recently was able to pet him.

He doesn't seem like he was treated very well, and was obviously part of someones life for 3 entire years and was just tossed out.

I agree with Micki, Twisterdog, Kay and whoever else who said things along those lines.
