"The greyhound track in Plainfield, CT voted on April 26th that they would discontinue greyhound racing. Unfortunately - and heartbreakingly - they've also decided that rescuers have only two weeks to get the dogs out, and any dogs remaining at the track on May 14th will be euthanized. This is a monumental task because there are at least 500 dogs currently at the track. These are all young, healthy dogs, 2-4 years of age, who would make great family pets."
Those poor dogs...I wish I could take every single one of them home :-( I wish every animal shelter around the area could take in these dogs and give them ALL great homes. There are enough animal shelters in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island to take them all in. If you want a dog, NOW IS YOUR TIME TO GET ONE!!!! ( or 2, or 3...)
