Their Guardian Angels

[Daisy's Mom]

Delidog I have no idea what's going on. Have you ever had problems sending to hotmail before? Try checking your options in your account. Maybe you have public email places blocked or something? If you can't find out why, I'll ask if you can send to my dad's address.

KayAnn you can have any name you want
Those names are there to choose from for people who can't think of one.
when you fill out the form just put down the name you have and we will add it to the list with an * beside it so nobody else uses it.
We will be proud to have you as an Angel and look forward to hearing from you.

What a beautiful and informative site! Thanks so much for the link to greyhound abuse. Many adopted greyhound owners are actually pro-racing, or neutral on the subject.
There are so many tracks out there that break the rules and don't get caught - after all, there is only one full-time person, Gary Guccione, who is the keeper of the stud book for all U.S. tracks. He, and a handful of part-time workers, have to travel the country and try to keep these track owners/kennel owners honest. However, even the 'good,' well-managed kennels have typically 200 dogs - you can't believe that those dogs get any personal attention or TLC. When we are trying to get dogs adopted out, we tell prospective adopters that the dogs are usually not abused, but they are neglected.
FYI: Spanish rescue groups tell us that in Spain, if a dog is done with its racing career, it is often hung from a tree and set on fire, in front of a cheering crowd...

I just spoke with a gentleman at PetSmart who was there doing their public information/adoptions on greyhounds. I have never really been around one or petted one. Needless to say I completely fell in love! I specifically asked the guy what their stand on racing was because all of their grey's are retired racing dogs. He said that they weren't against it and that these dogs are well taken care of (I am assuming he means just the dogs that are at the Phoenix race track and kennels). They looked good and beautiful. I need a freakin' farm - that is what everyone is telling me because I want so many dogs now!!!! I fall in love with everyone I meet!
