The lady in that video is so sweet she goes out of her way to make sure the dogs go to loving homes, I have adopted a dog from her and she is AWESOME!!! I hope you don’t have a greyhound, if so poor dog.
cool thanks, i wanted to adopt one but was afraid that once id get it it would be super old and not live long. I am most likely going to adopt one when i graduate college!
Our Stretch joined our family in November of 2006 and he is such a joy. We hadn’t planned on adopting a greyhound, but we are sure glad that we did. He is so gentle. I’d recommend a greyhound to anyone looking for a great companion.
We adopted a retired racer that gave blood for 18 months for emergency vet care. He is a wonderful addition to our family of 2 Italian Greyhounds. We are so blessed to have Stiles as part of our family. Thank you for your informative and beautiful video. Kudos to you for your volunteer work and care of life.
hi i am jan i run a greyhound rescue it called
greyhound rescue north west(see r.g.t web)
these animals are fantastic family pet and love kid we take then in to infant schools to
help kid respectd dogs long live greyhounds
I have never in my life heard of a greyhound attacking a child or small animal. True, some like to chase other animals but they are the sweetest most affectionate dogs you can get!!! Adopt a greyhound today! You WONT regret it!!!
Greyhounds and galgos rock! I have one myself from Spain and he is really an awesome dog. Soon i’ll be getting my second one.. respect to all greys and galgo’s
Hay SparkleScrew you man. Vicki’s out there busting her ass trying to save these poor dogs and you are negative about it! Your Retarded Man. **!** Read between the lines
I have adopted a retired greyhound here in Australia, he’s not in the least bit intersted in cats, and loves small children because they are at the prefect height to rub his ears, and hug him!
ok monk, get a grip. most greyhounds will not attack a child, kill sheep, or cause an accident. i do have a problem with the racing greyhound kennels, i worked at one. and most are nothing but a glorified puppy mill! they breed the bitches every season, and if they don’t make it on the track, or get hurt, most are put down, because they don’t want to take the time to place them with greyhound adoption.
I adopted but I’m not anit-racing reflexively. If there were no racing there would likely be few of these dogs and the health of the breed might have suffered. I do stand strongly on responsible ownership and treatment. So long as they are cared for properly, I have no complaint with raicing itself.
ok the reason people put ex racing greyhounds down is because when they ar ex racers they have stamped ears(I.D codes) and when they ar rehomed and someone decides they dont want it any more they sometimes set them free or if the dog runs away the dog could cause an accident, kill sheep or attack a child and if this does happen they will check the dogs ears and it will trace it back to its first owner.
I met my first Greyhound this week at work. I fell in love she is the best! We ran laps together this morning, she is faster than me of corse. I hope to someday adopt a retired greyhound for myself (too many cats right now). Coolest dog I have ever met

Typically they are 2-5 years old when they go up for adoption. The life span is around 12-14 years.

generally, how old are the retired race greyhounds? and how long do most greyhounds live?

To monk1669: You shouldn’t flaunt your ignorance on a public forum – keep it to yourself!
To IHeartCats – I have 5 cats, a terrier and 2 hounds – they’re a barrel of fun!
