Some great photos and stories!
We've a couple of rescue greyhounds - we've had Mandy (the brindle) for 2 1/2 years and Betsy for 9 months. Mandy's 12 1/2 and Betsy's 10 1/2, so we took them both on in their old age. They're great - absolutely no trouble at all; don't need much exercise, sleep most of the day, fantastic temperament,

Greyhounds get a pretty **** deal; they're only good for racing up to about the age of 3, then they're 'no use'. Some trainers are great and keep them; others ensure they go into a rescue - some will even give a donation. Others dump them or even worse. I've heard some real horror stories - you wouldn't believe what some people are capable of doing to an animal. The GBGB (governing board for greyhound racing) are useless at regulating the 'sport' and do little to ensure the dogs are looked after when their career is over. They also do little to punish owners who've been found to be drugging their dogs.
Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now
